RNase Y Autoregulates Its Synthesis in Bacillus subtilis

Résumé

The instability of messenger RNA is crucial to the control of gene expression. In Bacillus subtilis, RNase Y is the major decay-initiating endoribonuclease. Here, we show how this key enzyme regulates its own synthesis by modulating the longevity of its mRNA. Autoregulation is achieved through cleavages in two regions of the rny (RNase Y) transcript: (i) within the first ~100 nucleotides of the open reading frame, immediately inactivating the mRNA for further rounds of translation; (ii) cleavages in the rny 5′ UTR, primarily within the 5′-terminal 50 nucleotides, creating entry sites for the 5′ exonuclease J1 whose progression is blocked around position −15 of the rny mRNA, potentially by initiating ribosomes. This links the functional inactivation of the transcript by RNase J1 to translation efficiency, depending on the ribosome occupancy at the translation initiation site. By these mechanisms, RNase Y can initiate degradation of its own mRNA when the enzyme is not occupied with degradation of other RNAs and thus prevent its overexpression beyond the needs of RNA metabolism.
