Structure and function of Campylobacter jejuni polynucleotide phosphorylase (PNPase): Insights into the role of this RNase in pathogenicity.

open access: yesBiochimie, 2023
Ribonucleases are in charge of the processing, degradation and quality control of all cellular transcripts, which makes them crucial factors in RNA regulation. This post-transcriptional regulation allows bacteria to promptly react to different stress conditions and growth phase transitions, and also to produce the required virulence factors in ...

Unconventional mRNA processing and degradation pathways for the polycistronic yrzI (spyTA) mRNA in Bacillus subtilis. [PDF]

open access: yesFEBS Lett
The S1025 peptide is the major antidote to the YrzI toxin, which we renamed here as SpyT (Small Peptide YrzI Toxin) and SpyA (Small Peptide YrzI Antitoxin) (1). Degradation of the toxin–antitoxin spyTA mRNA, either by a translation‐dependent cleavage by the endoribonuclease Rae1 (2) or by direct attack by 3′‐exoribonucleases (3), also contributes to ...

Heterozygous PNPT1 Variants Cause a Sensory Ataxic Neuropathy. [PDF]

open access: yesEur J Neurol
ABSTRACT Background Biallelic variants in polyribonucleotide‐nucleotidyltransferase‐1 (PNPT1) have been associated with a range of phenotypes from syndromic hearing loss to Leigh's syndrome. More recently, heterozygous variants in PNPT1, have been reported in three families with cerebellar ataxia and prominent sensory neuropathy.

CsrA Participates in a PNPase Autoregulatory Mechanism by Selectively Repressing Translation of pnp Transcripts That Have Been Previously Processed by RNase III and PNPase [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Bacteriology, 2015
ABSTRACT Csr is a conserved global regulatory system that represses or activates gene expression posttranscriptionally. CsrA of Escherichia coli is a homodimeric RNA binding protein that regulates transcription elongation, translation initiation, and mRNA stability by binding to the 5′ untranslated leader ...

Isolate Specific Cold Response of Yersinia enterocolitica in Transcriptional, Proteomic, and Membrane Physiological Changes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Yersinia enterocolitica, a zoonotic foodborne pathogen, is able to withstand low temperatures. This psychrotrophic ability allows it to multiply in food stored in refrigerators. However, little is known about the Y. enterocolitica cold response.

Polynucleotide phosphorylase: Not merely an RNase but a pivotal post-transcriptional regulator. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2018
Almost 60 years ago, Severo Ochoa was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his discovery of the enzymatic synthesis of RNA by polynucleotide phosphorylase (PNPase).

Analysis of mRNA Decay Intermediates in Bacillus subtilis 3′ Exoribonuclease and RNA Helicase Mutant Strains

open access: yesmBio, 2022
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 ...

Polynucleotide Phosphorylase Mediates a New Mechanism of Persister Formation in Escherichia coli

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum, 2023
Despite the identification of many genes and pathways involved in the persistence phenomenon in bacteria, the mechanisms of persistence are not well understood.
