Processed mRNA with differential stability in the regulation of E. coli pilin gene expression

E. coil expressing the papA-I genes produce pili that mediate specific adhesion to mammalian cells. We show that the major pilus subunit gene, papA, is part of a polycistronic transcriptional unit subject to specific posttranscriptional processing. A primary transcript also encoding the papB regulat...
