Gene rne affects the structure of the ribonucleic acid-processing enzyme ribonuclease E of Escherichia coli.
The activity, ribonuclease E, isolated from an rne mutant was irreversibly inactivated at lower temperatures than ribonuclease E isolated from a wild-type strain. This observation suggests that the mutation rne-3071 affects the structure of the ribonculease E enzyme.
