mRNA Degradation

mRNA Degradation in Prokaryotic Cells Bacterial Ribonucleases Bacteria use a vast arsenal of ribonucleolytic enzymes to degrade messenger RNA (mRNA), many of which are exclusive to certain bacterial clades. Endoribonucleases RNase E, RNase Y, and RNase III are the most prominent endonucleases implicated thus far in bacterial mRNA turnover. Exoribonucleases In order to supplement the … Read more
