Abstract

RNA occupies a central position in living systems, as an intermediate in information flow from DNA to proteins, as structural element of the ribosomes and as a regulator of gene expression at transcriptional and translational levels. Its formation and maturation is controlled through numerous enzymatic activities. Rather less well understood are the systems that act to restore the integrity of RNA. Here we describe one such system, focusing on the bacterial Rtc RNA end modification and ligation mediated respectively by the RtcA and RtcB enzymes, whose expression relies on an enhancer binding transcription control protein RtcR.
