Rat liver mitochondrial polynucleotide phosphorylase
FEBS Letters, 1971 We have recently isolated, partially purified and demonstrated the specificity of a polynucleotide phosphorylase from crude guinea-pig liver nuclei [ 1,2] The enzyme was associated with membrane lipids and catalysed the phosphorolysis of polyribonucleotides to ribonucleoside diphosphates.

RNase E biomolecular condensates stimulate PNPase activity
Scientific Reports, 2023 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 ...

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 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)

Extensive in vivo resilience of persistent Salmonella [PDF]
, 2012 Chronic infections caused by persistent pathogens represent an important health problem. Here, we establish a simple practical mouse Salmonella infection model for identifying bacterial maintenance functions that are essential for persistency.

A PNPase dependent CRISPR System in Listeria. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2014 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 ...

mBio, 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 ...

Insights into Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri biofilm through proteomics [PDF]
, 2013 Background: Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri (X. a. pv. citri) causes citrus canker that can result in defoliation and premature fruit drop with significant production losses worldwide. Biofilm formation is an important process in bacterial pathogens and

The structure of Rph, an exoribonuclease from Bacillus anthracis, at 1.7 angstrom resolution [PDF]
, 2008 Maturation of tRNA precursors into functional tRNA molecules requires trimming of the primary transcript at both the 5' and 3' ends. Cleavage of nucleotides from the 3' stem of tRNA precursors, releasing nucleotide diphosphates, is accomplished in ...

Genome-Wide Study of mRNA Degradation and Transcript Elongation in Escherichia coli [PDF]
, 2015 An essential part of gene expression is the coordination of RNA synthesis and degradation, which occurs in the same cellular compartment in bacteria.
