Maturation of polycistronic mRNA by RNase Y and its associated Y-complex in Gram-positive bacteria

ABSTRACT: Endonucleolytic cleavage within polycistronic mRNAs can lead to differential stability and discordant abundance among co-transcribed genes. RNase Y, the major endonuclease for mRNA decay in Bacillus subtilis, was originally identified for its cleavage activity towards the cggR-gapA operon, an event that differentiates the expression of a glycolytic enzyme from its transcriptional regulator. A three-protein Y-complex (YlbF, YmcA, and YaaT) was recently identified that is also required for this cleavage in vivo, raising the possibility that it is an accessory factor acting to regulate RNase Y. However, whether the Y-complex is broadly required for RNase Y activity is unknown. Here we used end-enrichment RNA sequencing (Rend-seq) to globally identify operon mRNAs that undergo maturation post-transcriptionally by RNase Y and the Y-complex. We found that the Y-complex is required for the majority of RNase Y-mediated mRNA maturation events and affects riboswitch abundance in B. subtilis. In contrast, noncoding RNA maturation by RNase Y often do not require the Y-complex. Furthermore, deletion of RNase Y has more pleiotropic effects on the transcriptome and cell growth than deletions of the Y-complex. We propose that the Y-complex is a specificity factor for RNase Y, with evidence that its role is broadly distributed across low-GC Firmicutes.

RNA processing in Bacillus subtilis: Identification of targets of the essential RNase Y

Project description:RNA processing and degradation is initiated by endonucleolytic cleavage of the target RNAs. In many bacteria, this activity is performed by RNase E which is not present in Bacillus subtilis and other Gram-positive bacteria. Recently, the essential endoribonuclease RNase Y has been discovered in B. subtilis. This RNase is involved in the degradation of bulk mRNA suggesting a major role in mRNA metabolism. However, only a few targets of RNase Y have been identified so far. In order to assess the global impact of RNase Y, we compared the transcriptomes of strains expressing RNase Y or depleted for RNase Y. Our results indicate that processing by RNase Y results in accumulation of about 80 mRNAs. Some of these targets were substantially stabilized by RNase Y depletion, resulting in half-lives in the range of an hour. Moreover, about 40 mRNAs were less abundant when RNase Y was depleted among them the mRNAs of the operons required for biofilm formation. Interestingly, overexpression of RNase Y was sufficient to induce biofilm formation. The results emphasize the importance of RNase Y for B. subtilis and are in support of the idea that RNase Y is the functional equivalent of RNase E. To study the global function of RNase Y, a microarray analysis was performed with a B. subtilis strain allowing controlled depletion of RNase Y. Strain GP193 (Commichau et al., 2009, Mol. Cell. Proteomics 8: 1350-1360) expressing the rny gene under the control of a xylose-inducible promoter was cultivated in CSE minimal medium in the presence or absence of the inducer xylose. The transcriptomes of the two cultures (i.e. expressing RNase Y and depleted for RNase Y) were compared at a timepoint at which the reduced RNase Y amounts already affected the mRNA turnover whereas the growth rates of the two cultures were still almost identical.

Mapping of internal monophosphate 5’ ends of Bacillus subtilis messenger RNAs and ribosomal RNAs in wild-type and ribonuclease-mutant strains

Project description:The narrow-specificity endoribonuclease RNase III and the 5’ exonuclease RNase J1 have been recently found to be not essential in the Gram-positive model organism, Bacillus subtilis. In this study, we performed a global analysis of internal 5’ ends that are generated or acted upon by these enzymes. An RNA-Seq protocol known as PARE (Parallel Analysis of RNA Ends) was used to capture 5’ monophosphorylated RNA ends in ribonuclease wild-type and mutant strains. Comparison of PARE peaks in strains with RNase III present or absent showed that, in addition to its well-known role in ribosomal (rRNA) processing, many coding sequences and intergenic regions were direct targets of RNase III. A set of regular RNA-seq experiments were performed to investigate RNA profiles in these strains and used to account for the changes in RNA abundance indirectly caused by the loss of RNase III in PARE. The PARE analysis also revealed an accumulation of 3’-proximal peaks that correlated with the absence of RNase J1, confirming the importance of RNase J1 in degrading RNA fragments that contain the transcription terminator structure. In addition, an endonuclease cleavage just two nucleotides downstream of the 16S rRNA 3’ end was discovered with PARE analysis. This latter observation begins to answer, at least for B. subtilis, a long-standing question on the exonucleolytic vs. endonucleolytic nature of 16S rRNA maturation

In vivo cleavage map illuminates the central role of RNase E in coding and noncoding RNA pathways

Project description:Understanding RNA processing and turnover requires knowledge of cleavages by major endoribonucleases within a living cell. We have employed TIER-Seq (transiently inactivating an endoribonuclease followed by RNA-Seq) to profile cleavage products of the essential endoribonuclease RNase E in Salmonella enterica. A dominating cleavage signature is the location of a uridine two nucleotides downstream in a single-stranded segment, which we rationalize structurally as a key recognition determinant that may favor RNase E catalysis. Our results suggest a prominent biogenesis pathway for bacterial regulatory small RNAs, whereby RNase E acts together with the RNA chaperone Hfq to liberate stable 3’-fragments from various precursor RNAs. Recapitulating this process in vitro, Hfq guides RNase E cleavage of a representative small RNA precursor for interaction with a mRNA target. In vivo, the processing is required for target regulation. Our findings reveal a general maturation mechanism for a major class of post- transcriptional regulators.

Characterization of YlxR/Ssr1238, a conserved RNA binding protein in a model cyanobacterium

Project description:Throughout the tree of life RNA-binding proteins play important roles in the regulation of gene expression and RNA metabolism, but they are only poorly characterized in cyanobacteria. Here, we characterized the protein Ssr1238 from the model cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803, which was predicted as a potential RNA-binding protein. Ssr1238 is a potential homolog of the protein YlxR from Bacillus subtilis and is encoded in a syntenic region within the nusA-ssr1238-infB operon. Co-immunoprecipitation of proteins followed by MS analysis and sequencing of UV-cross-linked co-immunoprecipitated RNA samples identified potential interaction partners of Ssr1238. The most highly enriched transcript was the RNase P RNA, while RnpA, the protein component of RNase P was among the most highly enriched proteins, consistent with recent findings that YlxR proteins can influence the enzymatic activity of RNase P. The data further suggest that Ssr1238 interacts with the 3 region of gene ssl3177, encoding a rare lipoprotein homolog and with the precursor transcript of the initiator tRNAfMet and the group I intron in it. Thus, Ssr1238 may play additional roles in the initiation of translation and cell division. The data also show a strong connection to the RNA maturation and modification system indicated by co-precipitation of riboendonuclease E, RNA methyltransferase Sll1967, the A-adding tRNA nucleotidyltransferase Sll1253 and queuine tRNA-ribosyltransferase, as well as enolase. Our results are consistent with recent findings that the B. subtilis YlxR protein functions as an RNase P modulator (RnpM), extend its proposed role to the phylum cyanobacteria and suggest additional functionalities.

RNA-seq of Bacillus subtilis wild type and RNase J1 null strains

Project description:RNase J1 is the first nuclease with 5-3 exonuclease activity in bacteria and plays an important role in the maturation and degradation of mRNA. Absence of RNase J1 in cells has effect on cell morphology and growth rate. We did RNA-seq of Bacillus subtilis wild type and RNase J1 null strains (triplicates) to obtain more information about cellular role of this nuclease in cells. Complmentary ChIP-seq data have also been deposited in ArrayExpress under accession number E-MTAB-5659 ( https://www.ebi.ac.uk/arrayexpress/experiments/E-MTAB-5659 ).

DNA sequencing coverage in wild type and RNase H deficient Bacillus subtilis cells [1]

Project description:RNA-DNA hybrids form throughout the chromosome during normal cell growth and under stress conditions. When left unresolved, RNA-DNA hybrids can slow replication fork progression, cause DNA breaks, increase mutagenesis, and reduce gene expression. To remove hybrids, all organisms use ribonuclease H (RNase H) to specifically degrade the RNA portion of RNA-DNA hybrids. Here we show that, in addition to chromosomally encoded RNase HII and RNase HIII, Bacillus subtilis NCIB 3610 encodes a previously uncharacterized RNase HI protein, RnhP, on the endogenous plasmid pBS32. Like other RNase HI enzymes, RnhP incises Okazaki fragments, ribopatches, and a complementary RNA-DNA hybrid. We show that while chromosomally encoded RNase HIII is required for pBS32 hyper-replication, RnhP compensates for loss of RNase HIII activity on the chromosome. Consequently, loss of RnhP and RNase HIII impairs bacterial growth. We show that the decreased growth rate can be explained by laggard replication fork progression near the terminus region of the right replichore resulting in SOS-dependent inhibition of cell division. We conclude that B. subtilis NCIB 3610 encodes functional RNase HI, HII, and HIII, and pBS32-encoded RNase HI contributes to replication fork progression and chromosome stability while RNase HIII is important for chromosome stability and plasmid hyper-replication.

RraA. a protein inhibitor of RNase E activity that globally modulates RNA abundance in E. coli

Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE3869: Effects of rraA deletion on transcription GSE3870: Effects of rraA overexpression on transcription Abstract: Ribonuclease E (RNase E) has a key role in mRNA degradation and the processing of catalytic and structural RNAs in E. coli. We report the discovery of an evolutionarily conserved 17.4 kDa protein, here named RraA (regulator of ribonuclease activity A) that binds to RNase E and inhibits RNase E endonucleolytic cleavages without altering cleavage site specificity or interacting detectably with substrate RNAs. Overexpression of RraA circumvents the effects of an autoregulatory mechanism that normally maintains the RNase E cellular level within a narrow range, resulting in the genome-wide accumulation of RNase E-targeted transcripts. While not required for RraA action, the C-terminal RNase E region that serves as a scaffold for formation of a multiprotein degradosome complex modulates the inhibition of RNase E catalytic activity by RraA. Our results reveal a possible mechanism for the dynamic regulation of RNA decay and processing by inhibitory RNase binding proteins. Refer to individual Series
