Whole cell extracts were prepared from 2 × 109 cells as described (30 (link)); after extraction with 0.3M KCl, the ribosomes were removed by centrifugation for 2 h at 33 000 rpm in a Beckman 70.1Ti rotor (150 000 × g). RNA extracted from the post-ribosomal supernatant (PRS) was used for library preparation, essentially as described (45 (link)) and size selected on a E-Gel EX (Thermo Scientific Ltd). The libraries were sequenced on an Illumina NextSeq machine.
