Involvement of RNase J in CRISPR RNA maturation in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

Raphael Bilger, Friedel Drepper, Bettina Liebowitz Knapp, Tanja Berndt, Helena Landerer, Harald Putzer, Pitter F. Huesgen, Wolfgang R. Hess

This study identifies RNase J as a new enzyme involved in crRNA maturation in the type III-Bv CRISPR-Cas system of Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803, working with RNase E and possibly another RNase.
