RNA degradosomes are multienzyme complexes composed of ribonucleases, RNA helicases, and metabolic enzymes. RNase E-based degradosomes are widespread in . The RNA degradosome is sequestered from transcription in the nucleoid and translation in the cytoplasm by localization to the inner cytoplasmic membrane, where it forms short-lived clusters that are proposed to be sites of mRNA degradation. In , RNA degradosomes localize to ribonucleoprotein condensates in the interior of the cell [bacterial ribonucleoprotein-bodies (BR-bodies)], which have been proposed to drive the concerted degradation of mRNA to nucleotides. The turnover of mRNA in growing cells is important for maintaining pools of nucleotides for transcription and DNA replication.Membrane attachment of the RNA degradosome is necessary to avoid wasteful degradation of intermediates in ribosome assembly. Sequestering RNA degradosomes to BR-bodies, which exclude structured RNA, could have a similar role in protecting intermediates in ribosome assembly from degradation.

Background: The gene encodes ATP-dependent RNA helicase SUPV3L1, which is a part of the mitochondrial degradosome complex or SUV3. SUPV3L1 unwinds secondary structures of mitochondrial RNA (mtRNA) and facilitates the degradation of mtRNA molecules. A nonsense homozygous variant in the gene was recently associated with mitochondrial disease.

Bacterial responses to continuously changing environments are addressed through modulation of gene expression at the level of transcription initiation, RNA processing and/or decay. Ribonucleases (RNases) are hydrolytic or phosphorolytic enzymes involved in a majority of RNA metabolism reactions. RNases play a crucial role in RNA degradation, either independently or in collaboration with various trans-acting regulatory factors.

Production of extracellular membrane vesicles plays an important role in communication in bacterial populations and in bacteria-host interactions. Vesicles as carriers of various regulatory and signaling molecules may be potentially used as disease biomarkers and promising therapeutic agents, including vaccine preparations. The composition of membrane vesicles has been deciphered for a limited number of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria.

RNase E is the most common RNA decay nuclease in bacteria, setting the global mRNA decay rate and scaffolding formation of the RNA degradosome complex and BR-bodies. To properly set the global mRNA decay rate, RNase E from and neighboring γ-proteobacteria were found to autoregulate RNase E levels via the decay of its mRNA's 5' untranslated region (UTR). While the 5' UTR is absent from other groups of bacteria in the Rfam database, we identified that the α-proteobacterium RNase E contains a similar 5' UTR structure that promotes RNase E autoregulation.

The ompD transcript, encoding an outer membrane porin in Salmonella, harbors a controlling element in its coding region that base-pairs imperfectly with a 'seed' region of the small regulatory RNA (sRNA) MicC. When tagged with the sRNA, the ompD mRNA is cleaved downstream of the pairing site by the conserved endoribonuclease RNase E, leading to transcript destruction. We observe that the sRNA-induced cleavage site is accessible to RNase E in vitro upon recruitment of ompD into the 30S translation pre-initiation complex (PIC) in the presence of the degradosome components.
