An mRNA degrading complex in Rhodobacter capsulatus.
نویسندگان
چکیده
An RNA degrading, high molecular weight complex was purified from Rhodobacter capsulatus. N-terminal sequencing, glycerol-gradient centrifugation, and immunoaffinity purification as well as functional assays were used to determine the physical and biochemical characteristics of the complex. The complex comprises RNase E and two DEAD-box RNA helicases of 74 and 65 kDa, respectively. Most surprisingly, the transcription termination factor Rho is a major, firmly associated component of the degradosome.

RNase E enzymes from rhodobacter capsulatus and Escherichia coli differ in context- and sequence-dependent in vivo cleavage within the polycistronic puf mRNA.
The 5' pufQ mRNA segment and the pufLMX mRNA segment of Rhodobacter capsulatus exhibit different stabilities. Degradation of both mRNA segments is initiated by RNase E-mediated endonucleolytic cleavage. While Rhodobacter RNase E does not discriminate between the different sequences present around the cleavage sites within pufQ and pufL, Escherichia coli RNase E shows preference for the sequence...
متن کاملTemperature-dependent processing of the cspA mRNA in Rhodobacter capsulatus.
The expression of genes for cold-shock proteins is proposed to be regulated primarily at the post-transcriptional level by increase of mRNA stability after transition to low temperatures. Destabilization of the Escherichia coli cold-induced cspA transcript at 37 degrees C as well as stabilization upon cold shock is known to depend on the unusually long (159 nt) 5'-untranslated region. Determina...
متن کاملDevelopment of a cell-free system to study the membrane assembly of photosynthetic proteins of Rhodobacter capsulatus
A cell-free translation system from the facultatively photoheterotrophic bacterium Rhodobacter capsulatus is described. Synthesis of two proteins of the bacterium's photosynthetic apparatus (light-harvesting complex B870 alpha and beta) was performed by SP6 polymerase transcription of the subcloned genes, isolation of the mRNA and translation in vitro using a cell-free extract of R. capsulatus ...
متن کاملDietary Effect of Selenium-enriched Radish Sprouts, Vitamin E, and Rhodobacter capsulatus on Hypocholesterolemia and Immunity of Broiler
The study was designed to investigate the effects of dietary Selenium-enriched radish sprouts (Se-RS), Vitamin E (Vit E), and Rhodobacter capsulatus (RC) on immunity, cholesterol concentration, and fatty acid composition in broiler meat. A total of 100 two-week-old male broiler chicks were randomly assigned into five dietary groups: I) Control; II) Se-RS (5 μg/kg Se-RS); III) Se-RS+RC (5 μg/kg ...
متن کاملBacteriocin from Purple Nonsulfur Phototrophic Bacteria, Rhodobacter capsulatus
To find whether productivity of bacteriocin is controlled between different species under unusual cultural conditions, we used Rhodobacter capsulatus ATCC 17016 as a producer and Rhodopseudomonas palustris ATCC 17003 as an indicator. Rhodobacter capsulatus was cultured under aerobic conditions in the dark in Lascelles medium containing 0.3% Triton X-100. As a result, bacteriocin productivity in...
