Autogenous regulation of Escherichia coli polynucleotide phosphorylase expression revisited.
The Escherichia coli polynucleotide phosphorylase (PNPase; encoded by pnp), a phosphorolytic exoribonuclease, posttranscriptionally regulates its own expression at the level of mRNA stability and translation. Its primary transcript is very efficiently processed by RNase III, an endonuclease that makes a staggered double-strand cleavage about in the middle of a long stem-loop in the 5'-untransla...
متن کاملIsolation and mapping of polynucleotide phosphorylase mutants of Escherichia coli.
Three strains of Escherichia coli with altered polynucleotide phosphorylase, Q7, Q13, and Q27, were isolated by screening clones from heavily mutagenized cultures for low levels of the enzyme. The three mutations were found to cotransduce with argG and asp, and the pnp locus which they define was mapped with respect to these loci. An explanation for the nonreciprocal cotransduction frequencies ...
متن کاملPurification and properties of polynucleotide phosphorylase from Escherichia coli.
A method for the purification of polynucleotide phosphorylase from Escherichia coli has been developed. The purified enzyme has a specific activity 700-fold higher than the crude extract. When enzyme fractions obtained at different stages of the purification were assayed by phosphorolysis of polyadenylic acid (poly A) or 32P-orthophosphate exchange with the S’diphosphates of adenosine, uridine,...
متن کاملCharacterization of polynucleotide phosphorylase mutants of Escherichia coli.
Three polynucleotide phosphorylase mutations, isolated in heavily mutagenized Escherichia coli strains Q7, Q13, and Q27, were characterized after their transfer by P1 transduction to nearly isogenic strains which lack ribonuclease I. Each strain has a different altered form of polynucleotide phosphorylase. One enzyme exhibited sharply reduced activity under all conditions tested. A second had r...
متن کاملRegulation of Escherichia coli polynucleotide phosphorylase by ATP.
Polynucleotide phosphorylase (PNPase), an enzyme conserved in bacteria and eukaryotic organelles, processively catalyzes the phosphorolysis of RNA, releasing nucleotide diphosphates, and the reverse polymerization reaction. In Escherichia coli, both reactions are implicated in RNA decay, as addition of either poly(A) or heteropolymeric tails targets RNA to degradation. PNPase may also be associ...
