After 60 min of infection (middle phase), there is an induction of YbeY, which is involved in the processing of all three rRNAs and its products (RNase III, RNase R, and PNPase) that play important roles in both rRNA maturation and RNA degradation in E. coli (45), and thus ybeY, could have an impact in translation (46). This evidence concerns the gene PNPT1 and infection.
