Coordinated regulation of 23S rRNA maturation in Escherichia coli.
In Escherichia coli, rRNAs are transcribed as precursors and require processing at the 3' and 5' ends to generate mature RNA molecules. The largest of these RNAs, 23S rRNA, is matured at the 3' end by a set of exonucleases and at the 5' end by an unknown RNase. Whether the 3' and 5' maturation steps occur independently or are coupled has previously been unclear. By assessing the levels of precu...
متن کاملA functional peptide encoded in the Escherichia coli 23S rRNA.
A pentapeptide open reading frame equipped with a canonical ribosome-binding site is present in the Escherichia coli 23S rRNA. Overexpression of 23S rRNA fragments containing the mini-gene renders cells resistant to the ribosome-inhibiting antibiotic erythromycin. Mutations that change either the initiator or stop codons of the peptide mini-gene result in the loss of erythromycin resistance. No...
متن کاملThe rlmB gene is essential for formation of Gm2251 in 23S rRNA but not for ribosome maturation in Escherichia coli.
In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the rRNA Gm2270 methyltransferase, Pet56p, has an essential role in the maturation of the mitochondrial large ribosomal subunit that is independent of its methyltransferase activity. Here we show that the proposed Escherichia coli ortholog, RlmB (formerly YjfH), indeed is essential for the formation of Gm in position 2251 of 23S rRNA. However, a DeltarlmB mutant did...
متن کاملIdentification of YbeY-Protein Interactions Involved in 16S rRNA Maturation and Stress Regulation in Escherichia coli
YbeY is part of a core set of RNases in Escherichia coli and other bacteria. This highly conserved endoribonuclease has been implicated in several important processes such as 16S rRNA 3' end maturation, 70S ribosome quality control, and regulation of mRNAs and small noncoding RNAs, thereby affecting cellular viability, stress tolerance, and pathogenic and symbiotic behavior of bacteria. Thus, Y...
متن کاملRNase III cleavage is obligate for maturation but not for function of Escherichia coli pre-23S rRNA.
RNase III makes the initial cleavages that excise Escherichia coli precursor 16S and 23S rRNA from a single large primary transcript. In mutants deficient in RNase III, no species cleaved by RNase III are detected and the processing of 23S rRNA precursors to form mature 23S rRNA fails entirely. Instead, 50S ribosomes are formed with rRNAs up to several hundred nucleotides longer than mature 23S...
