A minimal bacterial RNase J-based degradosome is associated with translating ribosomes [PDF]
Protein complexes directing messenger RNA (mRNA) degradation are present in all kingdoms of life. In Escherichia coli, mRNA degradation is performed by an RNA degradosome organized by the major ribonuclease RNase E. In bacteria lacking RNase E, the existence of a functional RNA degradosome is still an open question.

TheYersinia pseudotuberculosisdegradosome is required for oxidative stress, while its PNPase subunit plays a degradosome-independent role in cold growth [PDF]
Yersinia polynucleotide phosphorylase (PNPase), a 3'-5' exoribonuclease, has been shown to affect growth during several stress responses. In Escherichia coli, PNPase is one of the subunits of a multiprotein complex known as the degradosome, but also has degradosome-independent functions. The carboxy-terminus of E.

Moonlighting proteins are proteins with more than one function. During the past 25 years, they have been found to be rather widespread in bacteria. In Bacillus subtilis, moonlighting has been disclosed to occur via DNA, protein or RNA binding or protein ...

Recognition of the 70S ribosome and polysome by the RNA degradosome in Escherichia coli [PDF]
The RNA degradosome is a multi-enzyme assembly that contributes to key processes of RNA metabolism, and it engages numerous partners in serving its varied functional roles. Small domains within the assembly recognize collectively a diverse range of macromolecules, including the core protein components, the cytoplasmic lipid membrane, mRNAs, non-coding ...

Cooperation of regulatory RNA and the RNA degradosome in transcript surveillance. [PDF]
Abstract The ompD transcript, encoding an outer membrane porin in Salmonella, harbors a controlling element in its coding region that base-pairs imperfectly with a ‘seed’ region of the small regulatory RNA (sRNA) MicC. When tagged with the sRNA, the ompD mRNA is cleaved downstream of the pairing site by the conserved endoribonuclease ...

The Structure and Function of the Gram-Positive Bacterial RNA Degradosome [PDF]
The RNA degradosome is a highly structured protein complex responsible for bulk RNA decay in bacteria. The main components of the complex, ribonucleases, an RNA helicase, and glycolytic enzymes are well-conserved in bacteria. Some components of the degradosome are essential for growth and the disruption of degradosome formation causes slower growth ...

The RNase J-Based RNA Degradosome Is Compartmentalized in the Gastric Pathogen
Posttranscriptional regulation is a major level of gene expression control in any cell. In bacteria, multiprotein machines called RNA degradosomes are central for RNA processing and degradation, and some were reported to be compartmentalized inside these

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 ...

Global analysis of Escherichia coli RNA degradosome function using DNA microarrays [PDF]
RNase E, an essential endoribonuclease of Escherichia coli , interacts through its C-terminal region with multiple other proteins to form a complex termed the RNA degradosome. To investigate the degradosome's proposed role as an RNA decay machine, we used DNA microarrays to globally assess alterations in the steady ...
