In Bacillus subtilis, this is achieved through the coordinated action of the alarmones (p)ppGpp and the transcription factor Spx. In this study, through a genetic screening for new factors involved in the heat shock response of B. subtilis, we discovered that the Y-complex, which modulates the substrate selection of the endonuclease RNase Y, is important for the heat shock response and the transition to the stationary growth phase. The Y-complex is required for processing different RNAs, including mRNA maturation. Further, we demonstrate that the Y-complex and RNase Y initiate rRNA degradation in mature ribosomes, lowering their abundance. We propose the Y-complex as a system by which B. subtilis regulates protein synthesis and resource allocation at the entry to stationary phase."],"repository":["ENA"],"additional_accession":[]},"is_claimable":false,"name":"Targeting the translation machinery: The RNase Y specificity factor Y-complex coordinates ribosome degradation","description":"Y-complex coordinates degradation of ribosomes","dates":{"last_updated":"2025-07-01","first_public":"2025-07-01"},"accession":"PRJEB90661","cross_references":{}}
