Abstract: 
In Rhodobacter capsulatus and Rhizobium leguminosarum, an internal transcribed spacer consisting of helices 9 and 10 is removed during 23S rRNA processing, which leads to the occurrence of a 5.8S-like rRNA. The particular rRNA maturation steps are not known, with exception of the initial RNase III cleavage in helix 9. We found that GC-rich stem-loop structures of helix 9, which are released by RNase III, are immediately degraded. The degradation of helix 10 is slower and its kinetics differs in both species. Nevertheless, the helix 10 processing mechanism is conserved and includes cleavages by RNase E. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science (USA). All rights reserved.
