Highly specific mRNA cleavage by the MazF endoribonuclease orchestrates stationary transcriptome remodeling and rapid regrowth in Gram-positive bacteria
It is demonstrated that the MazEF system functions as a non-lethal post-transcriptional regulator in B. subtilis and redefine a paradigmatic toxin as a precision global mRNA stress regulator that primes cells for rapid regrowth.
