Primary source abstract:"To assay the relative importance of the principal RNA binding sites identified by crystallographic analysis, [investigators] introduced mutations into the 5'-sensor, the S1 domain, and the Mg(+2)/Mn(+2) binding sites." |
| Comments |
"To a first
approximation, RNase E must make 150,000 cleavages in rRNA precursors, 248,000 cleavages in tRNA precursors and up to 90,000 cleavages in mRNAs (assuming three per mRNA) during every generation [BNID 111530]. This workload, 16,000 cleavage events per minute [BNID 111531], is fully consistent with an estimate of about 1,470 copies of RNase E per cell (32% of the RNA polymerase content [BNID 111532]) and a turnover of 11 cleavage events per RNase E per minute (primary source, determined with an artificial substrate at 30 °C)." |
