 Product defective ribonuclease PH  
 Operon Name rph-pyrE  
 Note defective ribonuclease PH; enzyme; degradation of RNA; RNase PH; MG1655 has the rph-1 C-terminal frameshift mutation caused by a one base pair deletion of a G of the first base of codon 223 that severely reduces Rph activity; rph-1 mutation is polar on the downstream pyrE gene, reducing PyrE activity and causing partial pyrimidine starvation when grown in minimal medium; this mutant ribonuclease PH is shorter (228 aa) and has a C-terminal sequence of ESNPL replacing GIESIVATQKAALAN; GO_process: GO:0006401 - RNA catabolic process
