SP1 and NFY Regulate the Expression of PNPT1, a Gene Encoding a Mitochondrial Protein Involved in Cancer [PDF]
The Polyribonucleotide nucleotidyltransferase 1 gene (PNPT1) encodes polynucleotide phosphorylase (PNPase), a 30-50 exoribonuclease involved in mitochondrial RNA degradation and surveillance and RNA import into the mitochondrion.

Kinetic studies on the phosphorolysis of polynucleotides by polynucleotide phosphorylase
The kinetics of the phosphorolysis of polynucleotide (as differentiated from oligonucleotide) by polynucleotide phosphorylase of Micrococcus luteus has been investigated. Double reciprocal plots of initial velocity against either inorganic phosphate or polynucleotide concentration are linear, and furthermore, the affinity of the enzyme for either ...

Stochastic sensing of polynucleotides using patterned nanopores [PDF]
The effect of the microscopic structure of a pore on polymer translocation is studied using Langevin dynamics simulation, and the consequence of introducing patterned stickiness inside the pore is investigated. It is found that the translocation process is extremely sensitive to the detailed structure of such patterns with faster than exponential ...

Enzymatic Synthesis and Fractionation of Fluorescent PolyU RNAs
The physical properties of viral-length polyuridine (PolyU) RNAs, which cannot base-pair and form secondary structures, are compared with those of normal-composition RNAs, composed of comparable numbers of each of A, U, G and C nucleobases.

RNase E and the High-Fidelity Orchestration of RNA Metabolism. [PDF]
The bacterial endoribonuclease RNase E occupies a pivotal position in the control of gene expression, as its actions either commit transcripts to an irreversible fate of rapid destruction or unveil their hidden functions through specific processing ...

RNase E biomolecular condensates stimulate PNPase activity
Bacterial Ribonucleoprotein bodies (BR-bodies) play an essential role in organizing RNA degradation via phase separation in the cytoplasm of bacteria. BR-bodies mediate multi-step mRNA decay through the concerted activity of the endoribonuclease RNase E ...

Acid phosphatases (Apases) are an important group of enzymes that hydrolyze soil and plant phosphoesters and anhydrides to release Pi (inorganic phosphate) for plant acquisition. Their activity is strongly correlated to the phosphorus use efficiency (PUE)

A PNPase dependent CRISPR System in Listeria. [PDF]
The human bacterial pathogen Listeria monocytogenes is emerging as a model organism to study RNA-mediated regulation in pathogenic bacteria. A class of non-coding RNAs called CRISPRs (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats) has been ...

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 ...
