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 ...

α-Proteobacterial RNA Degradosomes Assemble Liquid-Liquid Phase-Separated RNP Bodies [PDF]
Ribonucleoprotein (RNP) granules play an important role in organizing eukaryotic mRNA metabolism via liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) of mRNA decay factors into membrane-less organelles in the cytoplasm. Here we show that the bacterium Caulobacter crescentus Ribonuclease (RNase) E assembles RNP LLPS condensates that we term bacterial RNP-bodies ...

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.

Microbes are incessantly challenged by both biotic and abiotic stressors threatening their existence. Therefore, bacterial pathogens must possess mechanisms to successfully subvert host immune defenses as well as overcome the stress associated with host ...

Conformational Isomerization Involving Conserved Proline Residues Modulates Oligomerization of the NS1 Interferon Response Inhibitor from the Syncytial Respiratory Virus [PDF]
Interferon response suppression by the respiratory syncytial virus relies on two unique nonstructural proteins, NS1 and NS2, that interact with cellular partners through high-order complexes.

The proteomic response to mutants of the Escherichia coli RNA degradosome [PDF]
The Escherichia coli RNA degradosome recognizes and degrades RNA through the coordination of four main protein components, the endonuclease RNase E, the exonuclease PNPase, the RhlB helicase and the metabolic enzyme enolase. To help our understanding of the functions of the RNA degradosome, we quantified expression changes of >2300 proteins using mass ...

Distinct co-evolution patterns of genes associated to DNA polymerase III DnaE and PolC
Background Bacterial genomes displaying a strong bias between the leading and the lagging strand of DNA replication encode two DNA polymerases III, DnaE and PolC, rather than a single one.

A new yeast poly(A) polymerase complex involved in RNA quality control [PDF]
Eukaryotic cells contain several unconventional poly(A) polymerases in addition to the canonical enzymes responsible for the synthesis of poly(A) tails of nuclear messenger RNA precursors.

LEVELNET to visualize, explore, and compare protein–protein interaction networks
Abstract Physical interactions between proteins are central to all biological processes. Yet, the current knowledge of who interacts with whom in the cell and in what manner relies on partial, noisy, and highly heterogeneous data. Thus, there is a need for methods comprehensively describing and organizing such data.
