Nucleotide sequence surrounding a ribonuclease III processing site in bacteriophage T7 RNA
Abstract:
We have determined a nucleotide seuqence of 87 residues surrounding a ribonuclease III (endoribonuclease III; EC 3.1.4.24) processing site in the bacteriophage T7 intercistronic region between early genes 0.3 and 0.7. The structural requirements necessary for proper recognition and cleavage by RNase III are discussed. In addition, other structural features characteristic of this intercistronic boundary are described.
