Autoregulation of RNase E synthesis: Predominant impact of a branched RNA stem-loop to which the nuclease binds
Salah Eldein Elkattawy, Tithi Banerjee, Joel G. Belasco
The paper identifies a branched RNA stem-loop (hp3) as a major regulator of RNase E synthesis in Escherichia coli, showing it binds RNase E with high affinity and functions additively with hp2.
