RNA components of Escherichia coli degradosome: Evidence for rRNA decay [PDF]
Recently, we found that a multicomponent ribonucleolytic degradosome complex formed around RNase E, a key mRNA-degrading and 9S RNA-processing enzyme, contains RNA in addition to its protein components. Herein we show that the RNA found in the degradosome consists primarily of rRNA fragments that have a range of distinctive sizes.

Adjacent single-stranded regions mediate processing of tRNA precursors by RNase E direct entry [PDF]
The RNase E family is renowned for being central to the processing and decay of all types of RNA in many species of bacteria, as well as providing the first examples of endonucleases that can recognize 50 -monophosphorylated ends thereby increasing

Editosome Accessory Factors KREPB9 and KREPB10 in Trypanosoma brucei [PDF]
Multiprotein complexes, called editosomes, catalyze the uridine insertion and deletion RNA editing that forms translatable mitochondrial mRNAs in kinetoplastid parasites.

A eukaryotic-like 3′ untranslated region in Salmonella enterica hilD mRNA [PDF]
Long 3' untranslated regions (3'UTRs) are common in eukaryotic mRNAs. In contrast, long 3'UTRs are rare in bacteria, and have not been characterized in detail.

Allosteric activation of RhlB by RNase E induces partial duplex opening in substrate RNA
The E. coli DEAD-Box helicase RhlB is responsible for ATP-dependent unwinding of structured mRNA to facilitate RNA degradation by the protein complex degradosome.

Regulated RNA turnover is vital for the control of gene expression in all cellular life. In Escherichia coli, this process is largely controlled by a stable degradosome complex containing RNase E and a variety of additional enzymes.

Structural Insights into the Dimeric Form of Bacillus subtilis RNase Y Using NMR and AlphaFold
RNase Y is a crucial component of genetic translation, acting as the key enzyme initiating mRNA decay in many Gram-positive bacteria. The N-terminal domain of Bacillus subtilis RNase Y (Nter-BsRNaseY) is thought to interact with various protein partners ...

Genes important for catalase activity in Enterococcus faecalis. [PDF]
Little in general is known about how heme proteins are assembled from their constituents in cells. The Gram-positive bacterium Enterococcus faecalis cannot synthesize heme and does not depend on it for growth.
