General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
physiological function | RNase J1 is essential, while its paralogue RNase J2 is not. RNases J1 and J2 form a complex that is likely to be the predominant form of these enzymes in wild-type cells: RNase J2 co-purifies with His-tagged RNase J1 from Escherichia coli or with Flag-tagged RNase J1 from Bacillus subtilis and RNases J1 and J2 interact in vivo in a yeast two-hybrid assay. While both RNase J1 and the RNase J1/J2 complex have robust 5'-to-3' exoribonuclease activity in vitro, RNase J2 has at least two orders of magnitude weaker exonuclease activity. Association of the two proteins also has an effect on the endoribonucleolytic properties of RNases J1 and J2. While the individual enzymes have similar endonucleolytic cleavage activities and specificities, as a complex they behave synergistically to alter cleavage site preference and to increase cleavage efficiency at specific sites | Bacillus subtilis |
