Ribonuclease E Organizes the Protein Interactions in the Escherichia Coli RNA Degradosome
Downloaded from genesdev.cshlp.org on September 26, 2021 - Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press Ribonuclease E organizes the protein interactions in the Escherichia coli RNA degradosome Nathalie F.

Carpousis1,5 1Laboratoire de Microbiologie et Ge´ne´tique Mole´culaire, UPR 9007, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), 31062 Toulouse Cedex, France; 2Nuffield Department of Clinical Biochemistry and Imperial Cancer Research Fund Laboratories, Institute of Molecular Medicine, John Radcliffe Hospital, University of Oxford, Oxford OX3 9DS, UK The Escherichia coli RNA degradosome is the prototype of a recently discovered family of multiprotein machines involved in the processing and degradation of RNA. The interactions between the various protein components of the RNA degradosome were investigated by Far Western blotting, the yeast two-hybrid assay, and coimmunopurification experiments. Our results demonstrate that the carboxy-terminal half (CTH) of ribonuclease E (RNase E) contains the binding sites for the three other major degradosomal components, the DEAD-box RNA helicase RhlB, enolase, and polynucleotide phosphorylase (PNPase). The CTH of RNase E acts as the scaffold of the complex upon which the other degradosomal components are assembled. Regions for oligomerization were detected in the amino-terminal and central regions of RNase E. Furthermore, polypeptides derived from the highly charged region of RNase E, containing the RhlB binding site, stimulate RhlB activity at least 15-fold, saturating at one polypeptide per RhlB molecule. A model for the regulation of the RhlB RNA helicase activity is presented. -

Brakke, June 29, 1993 (receivedfor review May 10, 1993) ABSTRACT Ribonuclease E, an enzyme that processes encoding a high molecular mass protein hypothesized to be pre-SS rRNA from Its precursor, is now believed to be the involved in nucleoid partitioning or cell wall invagination major endoribonuclease participating in mRNA turnover in during division (16). The revised DNA sequence, coterminal Escherichia coli. The product of the ams/rne/hmpl gene, with the 5' end of the two previous sequences, encodes a which is required for RNase E activity, was overexpressed, protein of 1025 amino acid residues whose predicted relative purified to near homogeneity by electroelution from an molecular mass would be 114,000. This polypeptide displays SDS/polyacrylamide gel, and renatured. The purified poly- anomalous electrophoretic mobility in SDS/polyacrylamide peptide possesses nucleolytic activity in vitro with a specificity gels, however, and migrates with an apparent size of 180 kDa identical to that observed for crude RNase E preparations.

It has not been proven that the polypeptide encoded by addition, both UV crosslinking and RNA-protein blotting the ams/rne/hmpl gene is, in fact, a ribonuclease or is unambiguously showed that the Ams/Rne/Hmpl polypeptide intimately associated with the cleavage ofRNA either in vitro has a high affnity for RNA. -
DICER1 Gene Dicer 1, Ribonuclease III
DICER1 gene dicer 1, ribonuclease III Normal Function The DICER1 gene provides instructions for making a protein that plays a role in regulating the activity (expression) of other genes. The Dicer protein aids in the production of a molecule called microRNA (miRNA). MicroRNAs are short lengths of RNA, a chemical cousin of DNA. Dicer cuts (cleaves) precursor RNA molecules to produce miRNA. MicroRNAs control gene expression by blocking the process of protein production. In the first step of making a protein from a gene, another type of RNA called messenger RNA (mRNA) is formed and acts as the blueprint for protein production. MicroRNAs attach to specific mRNA molecules and stop the process by which protein is made. Sometimes, miRNAs break down the mRNA, which also blocks protein production. Through this role in regulating the expression of genes, Dicer is involved in many processes, including cell growth and division (proliferation) and the maturation of cells to take on specialized functions (differentiation). Health Conditions Related to Genetic Changes DICER1 syndrome Mutations in the DICER1 gene cause DICER1 syndrome. People with this condition have an increased risk of developing many types of tumors, particularly certain tumors of the lungs (pleuropulmonary blastoma); kidneys (cystic nephroma); ovaries (Sertoli- Leydig tumors); and thyroid, a butterfly-shaped gland in the lower neck (multinodular goiter). Most of these mutations lead to an abnormally short Dicer protein that is likely unable to produce miRNA. Without regulation by -

This enzyme exhibits anticancer properties mediated by degradation of cellular RNA and induction of apoptosis. In this study we assessed cytotoxicity of ONC in combination with currently used anticancer drugs on a human diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL)-derived cell line (Toledo). Cytotoxic activity was measured by the exclusion of propidium iodide assay while apoptosis was assessed using the annexin-V binding method. Additionally, flow cytometry was used to assess the decline of mitochondrial potential and to determine activation of caspases 3, 8 and 9. It was observed that in vitro treatment with ONC in combination with rituximab, mafosfa- mide, vincristine, doxorubicin, and dexamethasone (drugs corresponding with elements of R-CHOP regimen) resulted in increased cytotoxicity. -

Herein, we have used several parameters in order to 17 characterize the Lp16-PSP-induced cell death using HL-60 as model cancer. The results of phase contrast 18 microscopy, nuclear examination, DNA fragmentation detection and flow cytometry revealed that high 19 doses of Lp16-PSP resulted in the induction of apoptosis in HL-60 cells. The colorimetric assay showed the 20 activation of caspase-8, -9 and -3 cascade highlighting the involvement of Fas/FasL-related pathway. 21 Whereas, western blot revealed the cleavage of caspase-3, increased expression of Bax, the release of 22 cytochrome c and decreased expression of Bcl-2 in a dose-dependent manner, suggesting the intrinsic 23 pathway might be involved in Lp16-PSP-induced apoptosis either.
