The C‐terminal half of RNase E, which organizes the Escherichia coli degradosome, participates in mRNA degradation but not rRNA processing in vivo

Abstract
RNase E is an essential Escherichia coli endonuclease, which controls both 5S rRNA maturation and bulk mRNA decay. While the C‐terminal half of this 1061‐residue protein associates with polynucleotid...
