Escherichia coli RNase E can efficiently replace RNase Y in Bacillus subtilis

Résumé

Abstract RNase Y and RNase E are disparate endoribonucleases that govern global mRNA turnover/processing in the two evolutionary distant bacteria Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli, respectively. The two enzymes share a similar in vitro cleavage specificity and subcellular localization. To evaluate the potential equivalence in biological function between the two enzymes in vivo we analyzed whether and to what extent RNase E is able to replace RNase Y in B. subtilis. Full-length RNase E almost completely restores wild type growth of the rny mutant. This is matched by a surprising reversal of transcript profiles both of individual genes and on a genome-wide scale. The single most important parameter to efficient complementation is the requirement for RNase E to localize to the inner membrane while truncation of the C-terminal sequences corresponding to the degradosome scaffold has only a minor effect. We also compared the in vitro cleavage activity for the major decay initiating ribonucleases Y, E and J and show that no conclusions can be drawn with respect to their activity in vivo. Our data confirm the notion that RNase Y and RNase E have evolved through convergent evolution towards a low specificity endonuclease activity universally important in bacteria.
