Escherichia coli RNase M is a multiply altered form of RNase I.
RNase M, an enzyme previously purified to homogeneity from Escherichia coli, was suggested to be the RNase responsible for mRNA degradation in this bacterium. Although related to the endoribonuclease, RNase I, its distinct properties led to the conclusion that RNase M was a second, low molecular mass, broad specificity endoribonuclease present in E. coli. However, based on sequence analysis, so...
متن کاملA multiple mutant of Escherichia coli lacking the exoribonucleases RNase II, RNase D, and RNase BN.
A multiple mutant strain of Escherichia coli containing mutations affecting the exoribonucleases, RNase II, RNase D, and RNase BN, and also the endonuclease, RNase I, was constructed by P1-mediated transduction. Extracts of the mutant strain were lacking the aforementioned RNase activities. The multiple mutant displayed normal growth in both rich and minimal media at a variety of temperatures, ...
متن کاملEscherichia coli RNase R has dual activities, helicase and RNase.
In Escherichia coli, the cold shock response occurs when there is a temperature downshift from 37 degrees C to 15 degrees C, and this response is characterized by induction of several cold shock proteins, including the DEAD-box helicase CsdA, during the acclimation phase. CsdA is involved in a variety of cellular processes. Our previous studies showed that the helicase activity of CsdA is criti...
متن کاملRNase III initiates rapid degradation of proU mRNA upon hypo-osmotic stress in Escherichia coli.
Hyper-osmotic stress strongly induces expression of the Escherichia coli proU operon encoding a high affinity uptake system for the osmoprotectants glycine betaine and proline betaine. Osmoregulation of proU takes place at the transcriptional level by upregulation of the promoter at high osmolarity and repression of transcription by the nucleoid-associated protein H-NS at low osmolarity. In the...
متن کاملAbsence of RNase H allows replication of pBR322 in Escherichia coli mutants lacking DNA polymerase I.
rnh (formerly termed sdrA) mutants of Escherichia coli K-12, capable of continuous DNA replication in the absence of protein synthesis (stable DNA replication), are devoid of ribonuclease H (RNase H, EC 3.1.26.4) activity. Plasmid pBR322 was found to replicate in rnh mutants in the absence of DNA polymerase I, the polA gene product, which is normally required for replication of this plasmid. Th...
