Reconstitution and analysis of the multienzyme Escherichia coli RNA degradosome. [PDF]
The Escherichia coli RNA degradosome is a multienzyme assembly that functions in transcript turnover and maturation of structured RNA precursors. We have developed a procedure to reconstitute the RNA degradosome from recombinant components using modular ...

Novel endoribonucleases as central players in various pathways of eukaryotic RNA metabolism [PDF]
For a long time it has been assumed that the decay of RNA in eukaryotes is mainly carried out by exoribonucleases, which is in contrast to bacteria, where endoribonucleases are well documented to initiate RNA degradation.

The RNase J-Based RNA Degradosome Is Compartmentalized in the Gastric Pathogen
Posttranscriptional regulation is a major level of gene expression control in any cell. In bacteria, multiprotein machines called RNA degradosomes are central for RNA processing and degradation, and some were reported to be compartmentalized inside these

A multi-dentate, cooperative interaction between endo- and exo-ribonucleases within the bacterial RNA degradosome. [PDF]
In Escherichia coli and numerous other bacteria, two of the principal enzymes mediating messenger RNA decay and RNA processing-RNase E, an endoribonuclease, and polynucleotide phosphorylase (PNPase), an exoribonuclease-assemble into a multi-enzyme ...

Human FASTK preferentially binds single-stranded and G-rich RNA. [PDF]
Although FASTK is known to play a role in mRNA biology, the mechanism through which it recognizes RNA has yet to be unraveled. Here, we used purified human FASTK to characterize its RNA‐binding properties in vitro. We found that FASTK prefers ssRNA oligonucleotides containing guanines with the potential to form G‐quadruplexes and binds robustly to any ...

Localization of components of the RNA-degrading machine in Bacillus subtilis
In bacteria, the control of mRNA stability is crucial to allow rapid adaptation to changing conditions. In most bacteria, RNA degradation is catalyzed by the RNA degradosome, a protein complex composed of endo- and exoribonucleases, RNA helicases and ...

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 ...

Towards Understanding Helicase and Chaperone Activities in the RNA Degradosome [PDF]
The E. coli RNA degradosome is a complex multi-enzyme machine which is central to the post-transcriptional regulation of the cell. Some of its functions include maturing and processing sRNA, rRNA, and tRNA, as well as degrading mRNA.

LEVELNET to visualize, explore, and compare protein–protein interaction networks
Abstract Physical interactions between proteins are central to all biological processes. Yet, the current knowledge of who interacts with whom in the cell and in what manner relies on partial, noisy, and highly heterogeneous data. Thus, there is a need for methods comprehensively describing and organizing such data.
