General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function mature tRNAs, which are normally not substrates for PAP I in wild-type cells, are rapidly polyadenylated as PAP I levels increase upon overexpression, leading to dramatic reductions in the fraction of aminoacylated tRNAs, cessation of protein synthesis and cell death. The toxicity associated with PAP I is exacerbated by the absence of either RNase T and/or RNase PH. Regulation of PAP I is critical not for preventing the decay of mRNAs, but rather for maintaining normal levels of functional tRNAs and protein synthesis Escherichia coli
