Here we report that RNase P is required for the initial separation of all seven valine tRNAs from three distinct polycistronic transcripts (valV valW, valU valX valY lysY and lysT valT lysW valZ lysY lysZ lysQ). Particularly significant is the mechanism by which RNase P processes the valU and lysT polycistronic transcripts. Specifically, the enzyme initiates processing by first removing the Rho-independent transcription terminators from the primary valU and lysT transcripts. Subsequently, it pro ...[more]
