Summary We have analyzed the RNA synthesized during spore germination in Bacillus subtilis. Early in germination there is little incorporation of [3H]uridine into RNA. A large increase in incorporation into RNA was found at 45–60 min into germination which was in part due to increases in the specific activity of the UTP pool. When corrected for specific activity changes, the instantaneous rate of RNA synthesis showed a seven to tenfold increase between 30 and 45 min of germination. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis studies showed that the RNA synthesized during germination appeared very similar to the RNA made during vegetative growth. DNA-RNA hybridization studies indicated that mRNA and rRNA were synthesized throughout germination. Their relative proportions remained constant and were very similar to the composition of RNA synthesized during vegetative growth.In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the doctoral degree by A.S. in the Department of Microbiology at the New York University School of Medicine 相似文献

We have studied the secretion and processing of Staphylococcus aureus nuclease in Bacillus subtilis. We show that the initial species of nuclease found in the cell supernatants during short-term radioactive labeling (pulse-chase) had a molecular weight of approximately 18,800 and comigrated in a sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel with staphylococcal nuclease B. This nuclease B form was processed to the mature nuclease A extracellularly by a phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride-sensitive protease. The nuclease B-processing site is a consensus signal peptidase site, and the processing of nuclease B was coupled to secretion as judged by pulse-chase experiments. The nuclease A was shown by microsequencing of the N terminus to be 2 amino acid residues shorter than the nuclease A described for S. aureus Foggi. The nuclease B form was still the first species found in the culture supernatant after removal of the N-terminal 26 amino acids of the native 60-amino-acid signal peptide. However, removal of the N-terminal 72 amino acids abolishes secretion of any nuclease form and leads to the intracellular accumulation of nuclease. 相似文献

Purification and properties of a new bacillus subtilis RNA processing enzyme. Cleavage of phage SP82 mRNA and Bacillus subtilis precursor rRNA 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
An RNA processing activity capable of cleaving Bacillus subtilis phage SP82 early mRNA has been purified to apparent homogeneity from crude extracts of uninfected B. subtilis. The enzyme, a functional monomer of Mr approximately 27,000, cleaves only at the 5' side of adenosine residues at processing sites and is competitively inhibited by double-stranded synthetic RNA polymers. Processed SP82 mRNAs were translated in an Escherichia coli cell-free system and no qualitative or quantitative effects of processing on the synthesis of polypeptides was observed. The processing enzyme does not cleave T7 mRNA, E. coli precursor rRNA, or double-stranded poly(AU). A recombinant plasmid containing portions of two B. subtilis rRNA gene sets was transcribed in vitro and the resulting RNA was cleaved in the spacer region between the 16 S and 23 S rRNA genes. The ability of the B. subtilis processing enzyme to cleave SP82 mRNA and B. subtilis precursor rRNA and the fact that the enzyme has high affinity for double-stranded RNA suggest that it is the functional analog of E. coli RNase III. 相似文献

Stable RNA maturation is a key process in the generation of functional RNAs, and failure to correctly process these RNAs can lead to their elimination through quality control mechanisms. Studies of the maturation pathways of ribosomal RNA and transfer RNA in Bacillus subtilis showed they were radically different from Escherichia coli and led to the identification of new B. subtilis‐specific enzymes. We noticed that, despite their important roles in translation, a number of B. subtilis small stable RNAs still did not have characterised maturation pathways, notably the tmRNA, involved in ribosome rescue, and the RNase P RNA, involved in tRNA maturation. Here, we show that tmRNA is matured by RNase P and RNase Z at its 5′ and 3′ extremities, respectively, whereas the RNase P RNA is matured on its 3′ side by RNase Y. Recent evidence that several RNases are not essential in B. subtilis prompted us to revisit maturation of the scRNA, a component of the signal recognition particle involved in co‐translational insertion of specific proteins into the membrane. We show that RNase Y is also involved in 3′ processing of scRNA. Lastly, we identified some of the enzymes involved in the turnover of these three stable RNAs. 相似文献
