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

ABSTRACT: 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.

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.

Bacillus subtilis Rnase Y activity in vivo analysed by tiling microarrays

Project description:RNase Y is an essential endoribonuclease affecting global mRNA stability in Bacillus subtilis. We used high-resolution tiling arrays to analyze the effect of RNase Y depletion on RNA abundance covering the entire genome. The data confirm that this endoribonuclease plays a key role in initiating the decay of a large number of mRNAs as well as non coding RNAs. Comparison of the data with that of two other recent studies revealed very significant differences. About two thirds of the mRNAs upregulated following RNase Y depletion were different when compared to either one of these studies and only about 10% of were in common in all three studies.Our data confirmed already known RNase Y substrates and due to the precision and reproducibility of the profiles allows an exceptionally detailed view of the turnover of hundreds of new RNA substrates. A four arrays study of the transcriptome profiles of the B. subtilis RNase Y depletion strain SSB447 (Shahbabian et al., 2009) in which the gene rny is under the control of an IPTG inducible promoter. Rnase Y depleted cells (IPTG-) are compared to the transcript profiles of non depleted cells (IPTG+). As the rny gene is essential, depletion can only be partial. Here we carefully selected the time point for taking the sample in order to minimize growth rate effects and to obtain an highly reproducible data set.

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

RNase G complementation of rne null mutation identifies functional interrelationships with RNase E

Project description:The Escherichia coli endoribonucleases RNase E (Rne) and RNase G (Rng) have sequence similarity and broadly similar sequence specificity. Whereas the absence of Rne normally is lethal, we show here that E. coli bacteria that lack the rne gene can be made viable by overexpression of Rng. Rng-complemented cells accumulated precursors of 5S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and the RNA component of RNase P (i.e. M1 RNA), indicating that normal processing of these Rne-cleaved RNAs was not restored by RNase G; additionally, neither 5S rRNA nor M1 RNA was generated from precursors by RNase G cleavage in vitro. Using DNA microarrays containing 4405 Escherichia coli open reading frames (ORFs), we identified mRNAs whose steady-state level was affected by Rne, Rng or the N-terminal catalytic domain of RNase E. Most transcript species affected by RNase E deficiency were also elevated in an rne deletion mutant complemented by Rng. However, approximately 100 mRNAs that accumulated in Rne-deficient cells were decreased by rng-complemention, thus identifying targets whose processing or degradation may be the basis for RNase E essentiality. Remarkably prominent in this group were mRNAs implicated in energy-generating pathways or in the synthesis or degradation of macromolecules.

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

Project description: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.

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

Project description: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. This SuperSeries is composed of the SubSeries listed below.
