Summary of main findings obtained on 6S-1 RNA processing and decay in this study, illustrated in the context of the 6S-1 RNA secondary structure. The 5′-end and 3′-end nucleotides representing mature 6S-1 RNA, as identified in the 6S-1 RNA-seq libraries, are marked in blue (5′-end) or red (3′-ends). The read 3′-ends at nt 86–96 corresponding to the 5′-half molecules (shorter fragments) of 6S-1 RNA are highlighted in red as well. RNase activities inferred in this study to be involved in the processing and decay of 6S-1 RNA are indicated near the structural elements where hydrolysis takes place.
