(Submitter supplied) Streptococcus pyogenes (Group A streptococcus, GAS) is an important human pathogen that causes a variety of infectious diseases and sequelae. Recent studies showed virulence factor expression was controlled at multiple levels, including the post-transcriptional regulation. In this study, we examined the global half-lives of S. pyogenes mRNAs and explored the role RNase Y played in mRNA metabolism with microarray analysis. more...

(Submitter supplied) Purpose: RNase Y is a major enzyme responsible for mRNA degradation in Streptococcus pyogenes. The goals of this study are to understand whether RNase Y plays a role in operon transcription of S. pyogenes NZ131 by using RNA-seq analysis. Methods: S. pyogenes mRNA profiles of wild type (WT) and RNase Y mutant (∆rny) were generated by deep sequencing, in duplicate, using Illumina Hiseq 2000. The sequence reads were aligned to the S. more...

(Submitter supplied) RNases perform indispensable functions in regulating gene expression in many bacterial pathogens by processing and/or degrading RNAs. Despite the pivotal role of RNases in regulating bacterial virulence factors, the functions of RNases have not yet been studied in the major human respiratory pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus). Here, we sought to determine the impact of two conserved RNases, the endoribonuclease RNase Y and exoribonuclease polynucleotide phosphorylase (PNPase), on the physiology and virulence of S. more...

(Submitter supplied) Post-transcriptional gene regulation often involves RNA-binding proteins that modulate mRNA translation and/or stability either directly through protein-RNA interactions or indirectly by facilitating the annealing of small regulatory RNAs (sRNAs). The human pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae D39 (pneumococcus) does not encode in its genome any homologs to RNA-binding proteins known to be involved in promoting sRNA stability and function, such as Hfq or ProQ, even though it contains genes for at least 112 sRNAs. more...

(Submitter supplied) Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) is a major human respiratory pathogen and the leading cause of bacterial pneumonia worldwide. Small regulatory RNAs (sRNAs), which often act by post-transcriptionally regulating gene expression, have been shown to be crucial for the virulence of S. pneumoniae and other bacterial pathogens. Over 170 putative sRNAs have been identified in S. pneumoniae TIGR4 strain (serotype 4) through transcriptomic studies, and a subset of these sRNAs have been further implicated in regulating pneumococcal pathogenesis. more...

(Submitter supplied) The speB gene of Streptococcus pyogenes has a long 5' UTR with unknown functions. Preliminary studies showed that the partial mutation of this region led to altered expression patterns of the speB gene and ropB, its upstream gene. In this study, we used microarray to examine the effect of speB 5' UTR mutation on the S. pyogenes transcriptome.

(Submitter supplied) 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. more...

(Submitter supplied) 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. more...

(Submitter supplied) GAS is a highly virulent Gram-positive bacterium. For the successful infection GAS express many virulence factors, which are clustered together with transcriptional regulators in distinct genomic regions. Ralp3 is a central regulator of the ERES region. In this study, we investigated the role of Ralp3 in GAS pathogenesis. To characterize the Ralp3 regulatory function on the whole genome level, GAS M49 wild type and Äralp3 mutant strains were comprehensively compared by two colour microarray analysis. more...

(Submitter supplied) RNase Y of Bacillus subtilis is a key member of the degradosome and important for bulk mRNA turnover. In contrast to B. subtilis, the RNase Y homologue (rny/cvfA) of Staphylococcus aureus is not essential for growth. Here we found that RNase Y plays a major role in virulence gene regulation. Accordingly, rny deletion mutants demonstrated impaired virulence in a murine bacteraemia model. RNase Y is important for the processing and stabilisation of the immature transcript of the global virulence regulator system SaePQRS. more...

(Submitter supplied) 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. more...

(Submitter supplied) Understanding RNA processing and turnover requires knowledge of cleavages by major endoribonucleases within a living cell. We have employed TIER-Seq (transiently inactivating an endoribonuclease followed by RNA-Seq) to profile cleavage products of the essential endoribonuclease RNase E in Salmonella enterica. A dominating cleavage signature is the location of a uridine two nucleotides downstream in a single-stranded segment, which we rationalize structurally as a key recognition determinant that may favor RNase E catalysis. more...

(Submitter supplied) We investigated the covS-regulation of S. pyogenes in a hypervirulent M23 strain using RNA-sequencing. The differential gene expression comparison between the covS- mutant and isogenic wild type covS+ identified altered expression of 349 (18%) genes, including a broad spectrum of virulence genes and diverse metabolic genes. The data showed that the strain achieved hypervirulence by enhancing the expression of genes responsible for invasiveness and antiphagocytosis (i.e., hasABC), by abrogating the expression of toxic genes (i.e., speB), and by compromising gene products with dispensable functions (i.e., sfb1). more...

The structural characteristics of these RNA fragments suggest that RNase J is responsible for the decay of degradation intermediates that cannot serve as substrates for the 3´-to-5´ exoribonucleases.

(Submitter supplied) In this study, we performed RNA-sequencing on an E. coli model system to confirm known sites, identify novel targets, and determine the impact of RNase III cleavage events on transcript degradation and metabolic phenotypes. To find cleavage sites, we compared the abundance of sequencing reads across the transcriptome of a wild-type E. coli and an rnc- deletion mutant. The RNA-sequencing approach provided wider coverage and unprecedented resolution of mRNA abundance at each position in the transcriptome compared to prior studies that used qPCR, Northern blots, or microarrays. more...
