(Submitter supplied) Background The RNA steady-state levels in the cell are a balance between synthesis and degradation rates. Although transcription is important, RNA processing and turnover are also key factors in the regulation of gene expression. In Escherichia coli there are three main exoribonucleases (RNase II, RNase R and PNPase) involved in RNA degradation. Although there are many studies about these exoribonucleases not much is known about their global effect in the transcriptome. more...

(Submitter supplied) Exoribonucleases are crucial for RNA degradation in Escherichia coli but the roles of RNase R and PNPase and their potential overlap in stationary phase are not well characterized. Here, we used a genome-wide approach to determine how RNase R and PNPase affect the mRNA half-lives compared to wild type (stabilome) in the stationary phase. The stabilome is an original dynamic transcriptome-based analysis to measure the rates of mRNA degradation at the genome scale. more...

(Submitter supplied) The Bacillus subtilis genome encodes four 3’ exoribonucleases: polynucleotide phosphorylase (PNPase), RNase R, RNase PH, and YhaM. Previous work showed that PNPase, encoded by the pnpA gene, is the major 3’ exonuclease involved in mRNA turnover; in a pnpA deletion strain, numerous mRNA decay intermediates accumulate. Whether B. subtilis mRNA decay occurs in the context of a degradosome complex is controversial. more...

(Submitter supplied) The transition between exponential and stationary phase is a natural phenomenon for all bacteria and requires a massive readjustment of the bacterial transcriptome. Exoribonucleases are key enzymes in the transition between the two growth phases. PNPase, RNase R and RNase II are the major degradative exoribonucleases in Escherichia coli. We analysed the whole transcriptome of exponential and stationary phases from the WT and mutants lacking these exoribonucleases (Δpnp, Δrnr, Δrnb, and ΔrnbΔrnr). more...

(Submitter supplied) RNases perform indispensable functions in regulating gene expression in many bacterial pathogens by processing and/or degrading RNAs. Despite the pivotal role of RNases in regulating bacterial virulence factors, the functions of RNases have not yet been studied in the major human respiratory pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus). Here, we sought to determine the impact of two conserved RNases, the endoribonuclease RNase Y and exoribonuclease polynucleotide phosphorylase (PNPase), on the physiology and virulence of S. more...

(Submitter supplied) Post-transcriptional gene regulation often involves RNA-binding proteins that modulate mRNA translation and/or stability either directly through protein-RNA interactions or indirectly by facilitating the annealing of small regulatory RNAs (sRNAs). The human pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae D39 (pneumococcus) does not encode in its genome any homologs to RNA-binding proteins known to be involved in promoting sRNA stability and function, such as Hfq or ProQ, even though it contains genes for at least 112 sRNAs. more...

(Submitter supplied) Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) is a major human respiratory pathogen and the leading cause of bacterial pneumonia worldwide. Small regulatory RNAs (sRNAs), which often act by post-transcriptionally regulating gene expression, have been shown to be crucial for the virulence of S. pneumoniae and other bacterial pathogens. Over 170 putative sRNAs have been identified in S. pneumoniae TIGR4 strain (serotype 4) through transcriptomic studies, and a subset of these sRNAs have been further implicated in regulating pneumococcal pathogenesis. more...

(Submitter supplied) The polynucleotide phosphorylase (PNPase) is conserved among both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. As a core part of the degradosome, the PNPase is involved in maintaining proper RNA levels within the bacterial cell. It plays a major role in RNA homeostasis and decay since it acts as a 3’- to 5’-exoribonuclease. Furthermore PNPase can catalyze the reverse reaction by elongating RNA molecules in 5’- to 3’-end direction which finally has a destabilizing effect on the prolonged RNA molecule. more...

Cultures with low aeration, which underwent strong changes in levels of dissolved oxygen during growth, were compared to aerated cultures, which showed little variation in levels of dissolved oxygen. Cells were in stationary phase for 12 h or for 57 h before dilution into fresh medium. more...

(Submitter supplied) In this study, we performed RNA-sequencing on an E. coli model system to confirm known sites, identify novel targets, and determine the impact of RNase III cleavage events on transcript degradation and metabolic phenotypes. To find cleavage sites, we compared the abundance of sequencing reads across the transcriptome of a wild-type E. coli and an rnc- deletion mutant. The RNA-sequencing approach provided wider coverage and unprecedented resolution of mRNA abundance at each position in the transcriptome compared to prior studies that used qPCR, Northern blots, or microarrays. more...

(Submitter supplied) In many gram-negative and some gram-positive bacteria small regulatory RNAs (sRNAs) that bind the RNA chaperone Hfq have a pivotal role in modulating virulence, stress responses, metabolism, and biofilm formation. These sRNAs recognize transcripts through base-pairing, and sRNA-mRNA annealing consequently alters the translation and/or stability of transcripts leading to changes in gene expression. We have previously found that the highly conserved 3'-to-5' exoribonuclease polynucleotide phosphorylase (PNPase) has an indispensable role in paradoxically stabilizing Hfq-bound sRNAs and promoting their function in gene regulation in Escherichia coli. more...

(Submitter supplied) A comparative RNA-seq approach between R. sphaeroides 2.4.1 wild type and an RNase J deletion strain 2.4.1∆rnj revealed the accumulation of different mRNA fragments in the mutant. The structural characteristics of these RNA fragments suggest that RNase J is responsible for the decay of degradation intermediates that cannot serve as substrates for the 3´-to-5´ exoribonucleases.

(Submitter supplied) Localization of RNase E to the inner membrane in Escherichia coli is well documented, but the functional consequences of this localization are largely unknown. Here we characterize the rne∆MTS strain, which expresses cytoplasmic RNase E (cRNase E). CsrB and CsrC regulatory RNAs are stabilized in the rne∆MTS strain resulting in leaky glycogen expression. There is a small but significant global slowdown in mRNA degradation with no bias considering function or localization of encoded proteins. more...

(Submitter supplied) PNPase, one of the major enzymes with 3ʹ-to-5ʹ single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) degradation and processing activities, can interact with the RNA helicase RhlB independent of RNA degradosome formation in E. coli. Here we report that loss of interaction between RhlB and PNPase impacts cysteine homeostasis in E. coli. By random mutagenesis, we identified a mutant RhlBP238L that loses 75% of its ability to interact with PNPase, but retains normal interaction with RNase E and RNA in addition to exhibiting normal helicase activity. more...

(Submitter supplied) Messenger RNA decay in Bacillus subtilis is accomplished by a combination of exoribonucleases and endoribonucleases. Intermediates in the decay process have not been readily detectable, and previous studies on mRNA decay have used a handful of highly expressed transcripts as models. Here, we use RNA‐Seq analysis to probe mRNA turnover globally. A significant fraction of messages showed differential accumulation of RNA fragments that mapped near the 5′ or 3′ end of the coding sequence, consistent with initiation of decay from either the 5′ end or from an internal cleavage site. more...

Vancomycin treatment failure is most commonly linked to the emergence of vancomycin-intermediate resistance in clincal isolates (termed VISA). These isolates have not acquired resistance genes but appear to accumulate a heterogenous collection of single nucleotide polymerisms that collectively alter the physiology of the cell to increase vancomycin tolerance. more...
