Abstract
RNase III has been implicated in the control of gene expression by the processing of mRNA. We have found that the rnc operon is autoregulated; rnc- mutant strains oversynthesize the operon's mRNA and protein products. A site in the 5'-noncoding region of the operon's message is cleaved by RNase III. This site-specific cleavage appears to be the initial step in the functional inactivation of the message, since the half-life of the cut message is dramatically shorter than that of the uncut message.Entities:
