Escherichia coli rna gene encoding RNase I: cloning, overexpression, subcellular distribution of the enzyme, and use of an rna deletion to identify additional RNases. 总被引:4,自引:2,他引:2 下载免费PDF全文
The cloning and overexpression of the Escherichia coli rna gene encoding RNase I are described. Only a single copy of the rna gene is present on the E. coli chromosome. Although cells with as much as a 100-fold increase in RNase I activity were constructed, little effect on cell growth was observed. Overexpressed RNase I was found in the periplasmic space to the same degree (approximately 85%) as wild-type enzyme, suggesting no limitation in RNase I transport. The rna clone was used to identify a deletion strain totally lacking the rna gene. The normal growth of this strain showed that RNase I is not essential for cell viability. Extracts from the RNase I deletion strain still retained a low level of RNase activity in the presence of EDTA, conclusively demonstrating the existence of additional EDTA-active RNases in E. coli. The possibility of a RNase I inhibitor is also discussed. 相似文献

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, southern hybridization, and enzyme activity, we show that RNase M is, in fact, a multiply altered form of RNase I. In addition to three amino acid substitutions that confer the properties of RNase M on the mutated RNase I, the protein is synthesized from an rna gene that contains a UGA nonsense codon at position 5, apparently as a result of a low level of readthrough. We also suggest that RNase M is just one of several previously described endoribonuclease activities that are actually manifestations of RNase I. 相似文献
