The Stability of Messenger Ribonucleic Acid during Sporulation in Bacillus subtilis
Open accessAbstract
The stability of postlogarithmic mRNA has been assessed in Bacillus subtilis during sporulation time periods. The appearance of refractile bodies, alkaline phosphatase synthesis, and total protein synthesis is controlled by mRNA which has an estimated half-life of less than 10 min. Inhibition of RNA synthesis at various times by rifampin addition or temperature shift with a temperature-sensitive RNA polymerase mutant demonstrates that postlogarithmic mRNA is unstable and that continuous RNA synthesis is necessary for expression of the developmental sequence. The addition of chloramphenicol also inhibits the appearance of refractile bodies and alkaline phosphatase synthesis, suggesting that these processes require de novo protein synthesis.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
