General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
malfunction | in a mutant strain, the chromosomal tRNase Z gene is put under control of an IPTG-dependent promoter. Removal of IPTG from the culture medium results in complete growth inhibition, tRNase Z is essential for the organism. Downregulation of Trz expression leads to an accumulation of CCA-less pre-tRNAs in vivo | Bacillus subtilis |
malfunction | strains with simultanoeus deletion of genes from RNases II, Z, D, T and PH are not viable, but cells survive when only one of these genes is active | Escherichia coli |
physiological function | is not essential for cell viability, role in RNA metabolism. May also work as a backup 3'-maturation enzyme for pre-tRNAs with incorrect nucleotides incorporated into the CCA triplet | Escherichia coli |
physiological function | is required for maturation of pre-tRNAs lacking a CCA motif and is thus essential for cell viability | Bacillus subtilis |
