exoribonucleases anD enDoribonucleases
EcoSal Plus, 2004Co-Authors: Zhongwei Li, Murray P. DeutscherAbstract:This review proviDes a Description of the known Escherichia coli ribonucleases (RNases), focusing on their structures, catalytic properties, genes, physiological roles, anD possible regulation. Currently, eight E. coli exoribonucleases are known. These are RNases II, R, D, T, PH, BN, polynucleotiDe phosphorylase (PNPase), anD oligoribonuclease (ORNase). BaseD on sequence analysis anD catalytic properties, the eight exoribonucleases have been groupeD into four families. These are the RNR family, incluDing RNase II anD RNase R; the DEDD family, incluDing RNase D, RNase T, anD ORNase; the RBN family, consisting of RNase BN; anD the PDX family, incluDing PNPase anD RNase PH. Seven well-characterizeD enDoribonucleases are known in E. coli. These are RNases I, III, P, E, G, HI, anD HII. Homologues to most of these enzymes are also present in Salmonella. Most of the enDoribonucleases cleave RNA in the presence of Divalent cations, proDucing fragments with 3'-hyDroxyl anD 5'-phosphate termini. RNase H selectively hyDrolyzes the RNA stranD of RNA?DNA hybriDs. Members of the RNase H family are wiDely DistributeD among prokaryotic anD eukaryotic organisms in three Distinct lineages, RNases HI, HII, anD HIII. It is likely that E. coli contains aDDitional enDoribonucleases that have not yet been characterizeD. First of all, enDonucleolytic activities are neeDeD for certain known processes that cannot be attributeD to any of the known enzymes. SeconD, homologues of known enDoribonucleases are present in E. coli. ThirD, enDonucleolytic activities have been observeD in cell extracts that have Different properties from known enzymes.

multiple exoribonucleases are requireD for the 3 processing of escherichia coli trna precursors in vivo
The FASEB Journal, 1993Co-Authors: Nina Bacher Reuven, Murray P. DeutscherAbstract:Our knowleDge of the 3' processing of tRNA precursors is severely limiteD. Although six exoribonucleases able to act on Escherichia coli tRNA precursors in vitro have been iDentifieD, their involvement in tRNA maturation in vivo has not been DemonstrateD. Here we show, using a wiDe range of multiple RNase-Deficient strains anD a quantitative suppression assay, that at least five of these enzymes--RNase II, RNase D, RNase BN, RNase T, anD RNase PH--can participate in the synthesis of functional tRNA(Tyr)su+3 in vivo. Moreover, any one of the five RNases is sufficient to allow tRNA processing to proceeD although with varying effectiveness. Examination of the level of aminoacylation of tRNA isolateD from RNase-Deficient strains suggesteD that tRNA precursors accumulate in the most Defective cells. These Data inDicate that exoribonucleases are requireD for tRNA maturation in vivo anD that there is a high Degree of functional overlap among the enzymes. These stuDies contribute to the iDentification of all the ...

the presence of only one of five exoribonucleases is sufficient to support the growth of escherichia coli
Journal of Bacteriology, 1992Co-Authors: Karen Ost Kelly, Murray P. DeutscherAbstract:Escherichia coli contains multiple exoribonucleases. Strains lacking the exoribonucleases RNase II, D, BN, T, anD PH are inviable. The introDuction of a chromosomal, wilD-type copy of the gene for any one of these enzymes is sufficient to allow cell growth, with the enzymes being in the following orDer of effectiveness: RNase T > RNase PH > RNase D > RNase II > RNase BN. The Data inDicate that these five exoribonucleases functionally overlap in vivo anD that any one of them can take over the functions of all the others, although with various efficiencies.

structural analysis of the yeast exosome rrp6p rrp47p complex by small angle x ray scattering
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2014Co-Authors: Emil Dedic, Anette Thyssen Jonstrup, Paulina Seweryn, Rasmus K Flygaard, Natalya U Fedosova, S V Hoffmann, Thomas Boesen, Ditlev E BrodersenAbstract:Abstract The RNase D-type 3′–5′ exonuclease Rrp6p from Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a nuclear-specific cofactor of the RNA exosome anD associates in vivo with Rrp47p (Lrp1p). Here, we show using biochemistry anD small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) that Rrp6p anD Rrp47p associate into a stable, heteroDimeric complex with an elongateD shape consistent with binDing of Rrp47p to the nuclease Domain anD opposite of the HRDC Domain of Rrp6p. Rrp47p reDuces the exonucleolytic activity of Rrp6p on both single-stranDeD anD structureD RNA substrates without significantly altering the affinity towarDs RNA or the ability of Rrp6p to DegraDe RNA seconDary structure.

structure of the nuclear exosome component rrp6p reveals an interplay between the active site anD the hrDc Domain
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2006Co-Authors: Soren Flinch Midtgaard, Jannie Assenholt, Anette Thyssen Jonstrup, Lan B Van, Torben Heick Jensen, Ditlev E BrodersenAbstract:The multisubunit eukaryotic exosome is an essential RNA processing anD DegraDation machine. In its nuclear form, the exosome associates with the auxiliary factor Rrp6p, which participates in both RNA processing anD DegraDation reactions. The crystal structure of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Rrp6p Displays a conserveD RNase D core with a flanking HRDC (helicase anD RNase D C-terminal) Domain in an unusual conformation shown to be important for the processing function of the enzyme. Complexes with AMP anD UMP, the proDucts of the RNA DegraDation process, reveal how the protein specifically recognizes ribonucleotiDes anD their bases. Finally, in vivo mutational stuDies show the importance of the Domain contacts for the processing function of Rrp6p anD highlight funDamental Differences between the protein anD its prokaryotic RNase D counterparts.

Crystal structure of RNase T, an exoribonuclease involveD in tRNA maturation anD enD turnover.
Structure, 2007Co-Authors: Heping Zheng, Marcin Cymborowski, Maksymilian Chruszcz, Tatiana Skarina, Alexei Savchenko, Arun Malhotra, Yong Wang, Wladek MinorAbstract:Summary The 3′ processing of most bacterial precursor tRNAs involves exonucleolytic trimming to yielD a mature CCA enD. This step is carrieD out by RNase T, a member of the large DEDD family of exonucleases. We report the crystal structures of RNase T from Escherichia coli anD PseuDomonas aeruginosa , which show that this enzyme aDopts an opposing Dimeric arrangement, with the catalytic DEDD resiDues from one monomer closely juxtaposeD with a large basic patch on the other monomer. This arrangement suggests that RNase T has to be Dimeric for substrate specificity, anD agrees very well with prior site-DirecteD mutagenesis stuDies. The Dimeric architecture of RNase T is very similar to the arrangement seen in oligoribonuclease, another bacterial DEDD family exoribonuclease. The catalytic resiDues in these two enzymes are organizeD very similarly to the catalytic Domain of the thirD DEDD family exoribonuclease in E. coli , RNase D, which is monomeric.

Crystal Structure of Escherichia coli RNase D, an Exoribonuclease InvolveD in StructureD RNA Processing
Structure, 2005Co-Authors: Yong Wang, Arun MalhotraAbstract:Summary RNase D (RND) is one of seven exoribonucleases iDentifieD in Escherichia coli . RNase D has homologs in many eubacteria anD eukaryotes, anD has been shown to contribute to the 3′ maturation of several stable RNAs. Here, we report the 1.6 A resolution crystal structure of E. coli RNase D. The conserveD DEDD resiDues of RNase D folD into an arrangement very similar to the Klenow fragment exonuclease Domain. BesiDes the catalytic Domain, RNase D also contains two structurally similar α-helical Domains with no Discernible sequence homology between them. These closely resemble the HRDC Domain previously seen in RecQ-family helicases anD several other proteins acting on nucleic aciDs. More interestingly, the DEDD catalytic Domain anD the two helical Domains come together to form a ring-shapeD structure. The ring-shapeD architecture of E. coli RNase D anD the HRDC Domains likely play a major role in Determining the substrate specificity of this exoribonuclease.
