Membrane Localization of RNase Y Is Important for Global Gene Expression in Bacillus subtilis. [PDF]
Abstract: RNase Y is an endoribonuclease that governs global mRNA turnover/processing in Ba-cillus subtilis and likely many other bacteria. The enzyme is anchored at the cell membrane, a pseudo-compartmentalization that appears coherent with its task to initiate decay of mRNAs translated predominantly at the cell periphery.

Dissociation of the Dimer of the Intrinsically Disordered Domain of RNase Y upon Antibody Binding. [PDF]
Although RNase Y acts as the key enzyme initiating messenger RNA decay in Bacillus subtilis and likely in many other Gram-positive bacteria, its three-dimensional structure remains unknown. An antibody belonging to the rare immunoglobulin G (IgG) 2b λx isotype was raised against a 12-residue conserved peptide from the N-terminal noncatalytic domain of ...

Enzymatic activity necessary to restore the lethality due to Escherichia coli RNase E deficiency is distributed among bacteria lacking RNase E homologues. [PDF]
Escherichia coli RNase E (Eco-RNase E), encoded by rne (Eco-rne), is considered the global RNA decay initiator. Although Eco-RNase E is an essential gene product in E.

Initiation of decay of Bacillus subtilis rpsO mRNA by endoribonuclease RNase Y. [PDF]
ABSTRACT rpsO mRNA, a small monocistronic mRNA that encodes ribosomal protein S15, was used to study aspects of mRNA decay initiation in Bacillus subtilis . Decay of rpsO mRNA in a panel of 3′-to-5′ exoribonuclease mutants was analyzed using a 5′-proximal oligonucleotide

SR7 – a dual-function antisense RNA from Bacillus subtilis
Here, we describe SR7, a dual-function antisense RNA encoded on the Bacillus subtilis chromosome. This RNA was earlier described as SigB-dependent regulatory RNA S1136 and reported to reduce the amount of the small ribosomal subunit under ethanol stress.

RNase Y, a novel endoribonuclease, initiates riboswitch turnover in Bacillus subtilis [PDF]
In contrast to Escherichia coli, initiation of mRNA decay in Gram-positive organisms is poorly understood. We studied the fate of the highly structured RNAs generated by premature transcription termination of S-adenosylmethionine (SAM)-dependent riboswitches in Bacillus subtilis. An essential protein of earlier unknown function, YmdA, was identified as

RNase Y in Bacillus subtilis: a Natively Disordered Protein That Is the Functional Equivalent of RNase E from Escherichia coli [PDF]
ABSTRACTThe control of mRNA stability is an important component of regulation in bacteria. Processing and degradation of mRNAs are initiated by an endonucleolytic attack, and the cleavage products are processively degraded by exoribonucleases. In many bacteria, these RNases, as well as RNA helicases and other proteins, are organized in a protein ...

Decay of a Model mRNA in Bacillus subtilis by a Combination of RNase J1 5′ Exonuclease and RNase Y Endonuclease Activities [PDF]
ABSTRACT The involvement of the recently characterized 5′ exonuclease activity of RNase J1 and endonuclease activity of RNase Y in the turnover of Δ ermC mRNA in Bacillus subtilis was investigated. Evidence is presented that both of these activities determine the half-life of Δ

Moonlighting proteins are proteins with more than one function. During the past 25 years, they have been found to be rather widespread in bacteria. In Bacillus subtilis, moonlighting has been disclosed to occur via DNA, protein or RNA binding or protein ...

Bacteria are dependent on rapid alterations in gene expression. A prerequisite for rapid adaptations is efficient RNA turnover, with endonuclease RNase Y playing a crucial role in mRNA stability as well as in maturation.
