Biosynthesis of histone messenger RNA employs a specific 3' end endonuclease
Replication-dependent (RD) core histone mRNA produced during S-phase is the only known metazoan protein-coding mRNA presenting a 3' stem-loop instead of the otherwise universal polyA tail.

The Conserved Dcw Gene Cluster of R. sphaeroides Is Preceded by an Uncommonly Extended 5 Leader Featuring the sRNA UpsM [PDF]
Cell division and cell wall synthesis mechanisms are similarly conserved among bacteria. Consequently some bacterial species have comparable sets of genes organized in the dcw (division and cell wall) gene cluster.

Bacteria utilize endoribonuclease-mediated RNA processing and decay to rapidly adapt to environmental changes. Here, we report that the modulation of hns mRNA stability by the endoribonuclease RNase G plays a key role in Salmonella Typhimurium ...

The endoribonucleolytic N-terminal half of Escherichia coli RNase E is evolutionarily conserved in Synechocystis sp. and other bacteria but not the C-terminal half, which is sufficient for degradosome assembly [PDF]
Escherichia coli RNase E, an essential single-stranded specific endoribonuclease, is required for both ribosomal RNA processing and the rapid degradation of mRNA.

Toxin-Antitoxin Systems as Multilevel Interaction Systems
Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are small genetic modules usually composed of a toxin and an antitoxin counteracting the activity of the toxic protein. These systems are widely spread in bacterial and archaeal genomes.

The Lepidopteran endoribonuclease-U domain protein P102 displays dramatically reduced enzymatic activity and forms functional amyloids [PDF]
Hemocytes of Heliothis virescens (F.) (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae) larvae produce a protein, P102, with a putative endoribonuclease-U domain. In previous works we have shown that P102 is involved in Lepidopteran immune response by forming amyloid fibrils ...

The Continuing Story of Endoribonuclease III
Endoribonuclease III (RNase III) plays an important role in the processing of rRNA and mRNAs. It is timely to summarize the most relevant insights obtained during the last years stemming from RNase III. With this aim, the present mini-review provides a wealth of new information focusing on the distribution and architecture of RNase III, substrate ...

The endoribonuclease YbeY is linked to proper cellular morphology and virulence in 2 Brucella abortus [PDF]
The endoribonuclease YbeY is one of the most well conserved proteins across the kingdoms of life. In the present study, we demonstrate that YbeY in Brucella abortus is linked to a variety of important activities, including proper cellular morphology ...
