additional information | construction of deletion mutant DELTArnb. Comparison of the mutant transcriptome with the wild-type, to determine the global effects of the deletion of the exoribonucleases in exponential phase, reveals that the deletion of RNase II significantly affects 187 transcripts. Many of the transcripts are actually down-regulated in the exoribonuclease mutants when compared to the wild-type control. The exoribonuclease also affects some stable RNAs. The RNase II mutant is shown to produce more biofilm than the wild-type control. Differential expression analysis of the transcriptome of exoribonucleases mutants and phenotypes, overview. For example, nirB (Nitrite reductase [NAD(P)H] large subunit) is down-regulated in DELTArnb with a fold-change of 0.36 while in the DELTArnr mutant nirB is up-regulated with a fold-change of 9.11 | Escherichia coli |

additional information | Escherichia coli | RNase II is a hydrolytic exoribonuclease that processively degrades RNA in the 3'-5' direction, is sensitive to secondary structures, it is also known to stall before it reaches a double-stranded region. Although RNase II degrading activity is sequence-independent, its favourite substrate is poly(A) tails. RNase II rapidly degrades poly (A) tails, but it halts if it finds secondary structures such as the Rho-independent terminators. The degradation of polyadenylated stretches by RNase II can paradoxically protect some RNAs because the other exoribonucleases (PNPase and RNase R) need a short poly(A) tail as a toehold in order to degrade secondary structures | ? | - |

additional information | Escherichia coli | RNase R is a hydrolytic exoribonuclease that processively degrades RNA in the 3'-5' direction. RNase R can easily degrade highly structured RNAs, but requires a single stranded region in order to be able to bind to the substrates. It was shown to be a key enzyme involved in the degradation of polyadenylated RNA | ? | - |

physiological function | the RNA steady-state levels in the cell are a balance between synthesis and degradation rates. Although transcription is important, RNA processing and turnover are also key factors in the regulation of gene expression. In Escherichia coli there are three main exoribonucleases (RNase II, RNase R and PNPase) involved in RNA degradation. RNase II, RNase R and PNPase significantly impair the motility of the cells | Escherichia coli |

In Escherichia coli there are three main exoribonucleases (RNase II, RNase R and PNPase) involved in RNA degradation. RNase R is a critical enzyme involved in RNA and protein quality control, namely in the degradation of defective tRNAs and rRNAs and is involved in RNA degradation during trans-translation. RNase R is involved in virulence, it affects virulence by altering the motility of the pathogens. RNase II, RNase R and PNPase significantly impair the motility of the cells | Escherichia coli |
