Structural highlights
Function
YQGF_ECOLI Involved in the processing of the 5'-end of pre-16S rRNA during 70S ribosome maturation (processing does not occur on total cellular RNA off the ribosome); may be a nuclease (PubMed:25545592). A temperature-sensitive yqgF mutant no longer grows when Rho or NusA are overproduced, and has reduced transcription of genes encoded downstream of Rho terminators; transcription increases again in the presence of the Rho inhibitor bicylomycin (PubMed:22353788).[1] [2]
