  Regulation

  • translational repression of rpsO expression upon binding of excess RpsO to a RNA switch in the untranslated region of the rpsO mRNA PubMed

  Additional information

  • the mRNA is processed, this is initiated by RNase Y and cleavage products are subsequently subject to exonucleolytic degradation by RNases J1 and J2 and by PNPase PubMed
  • the RNA switch RNA is degraded by RNase Y PubMed
