Project context and summary:

We recently identified a new RNA decapping enzyme in Bacillus subtilis, called BsRppH2, with a preference for mRNAs beginning with an A-residue. The goal of this project is to identify individual RNAs whose abundance is correlated with the presence or absence of BsRppH2, to get an idea of its global importance in vivo. We will sequence RNA in triplicate from 4 strains: WT, ∆rppH2, a complemented strain (∆rppH2 + RppH2) and WT + RppH2.
