Disease relevance of ECs1462

 

High impact information on ECs1462

  • Enhanced sequence searches reveal hitherto unidentified S1 domains in RNase E, RNase II, NusA, EMB-5, and other proteins [6].
  • These results show that RNase E has inherent vectorial properties, with its activity depending on the 5' end of its substrates; this can account for the direction of mRNA decay in E. coli, the phenomenon of 'all or none' mRNA decay, and the stabilization provided by 5' stem-loop structures [7].
  • This activity, which leaves a 6-nucleotide adenylate or a 1-nucleotide uridylate remnant on primary transcripts, resides in the amino-terminal region of RNase E and does not require other protein cofactors [8].
  • A mutation that inactivates E. coli RNase E also increases the average lifetime of bulk E. coli mRNA and of many individual messages, suggesting that cleavage by this endonuclease may be the rate-determining step in the degradation of most mRNAs in E. coli [1].
  • The sensitivity of RNase E to 5'-terminal base pairing may explain how determinants near the 5' end can control rates of mRNA decay in bacteria [1].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of ECs1462

 

Biological context of ECs1462

  • We report here that RNase E has an unprecedented substrate specificity for an endoribonuclease, as it preferentially cleaves RNAs that have several unpaired nucleotides at the 5' end [1].
  • Autoregulation is mediated in cis by the 361-nucleotide 5' untranslated region (UTR) of rne (RNase E) mRNA [10].
  • Regions for oligomerization were detected in the amino-terminal and central regions of RNase E. Furthermore, polypeptides derived from the highly charged region of RNase E, containing the RhlB binding site, stimulate RhlB activity at least 15-fold, saturating at one polypeptide per RhlB molecule [11].
  • An evolutionarily conserved RNA stem-loop functions as a sensor that directs feedback regulation of RNase E gene expression [10].
  • In fact, recent experiments have suggested that defects in 9S rRNA processing and mRNA decay are not responsible for the lack of cell growth in RNase E mutants [12].
 

Anatomical context of ECs1462

 

Associations of ECs1462 with chemical compounds

  • Accumulation of phosphosugars such as glucose-6-phosphate causes a rapid degradation of ptsG mRNA encoding the major glucose transporter IICB(Glc) in an RNase E/degradosome-dependent manner [16].
  • When cells containing the rne plasmid were treated with chloramphenicol, the pre-existing RNase E became less heat labile with time [15].
  • These results indicate that RNase E is required for induction of the glutamate-dependent acid resistance system in a RpoS-independent manner [17].
 

Physical interactions of ECs1462

  • A single molecule of the RNase E peptide binds asymmetrically in a conserved cleft at the interface of the enolase dimer [18].
 

Other interactions of ECs1462

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of ECs1462

  • Here we report the effects of specific sequence changes introduced by site-directed mutagenesis on the location of ribonucleolytic cleavage near the 5' end of pBR322 RNA I in rne-3071 and congenic rne+ E. coli and on cleavage of RNA I by RNase E in vitro [14].
  • X-ray crystallography and biochemical studies have concluded that the Escherichia coli RNase E protein functions as a homotetramer formed by Zn linkage of dimers within a region extending from amino acid residues 416 through 529 of the 116-kDa protein [3].
  • Binding sites for RNase E, a component of the RNA degradosome, and RNA were mapped by North-western and Far-western blotting using truncated forms of PAP I [24].
  • Using Northern blot analysis, full-length FinP was found to be stabilized sevenfold in an RNase E-deficient strain [25].
