CATALYTIC DOMAIN OF E. COLI RNASE E IN COMPLEX WITH 13-MER RNA
OverviewOverview
The coordinated regulation of gene expression is required for homeostasis, growth and development in all organisms. Such coordination may be partly, achieved at the level of messenger RNA stability, in which the targeted, destruction of subsets of transcripts generates the potential for, cross-regulating metabolic pathways. In Escherichia coli, the balance and, composition of the transcript population is affected by RNase E, an, essential endoribonuclease that not only turns over RNA but also processes, certain key RNA precursors. RNase E cleaves RNA internally, but its, catalytic power is determined by the 5' terminus of the substrate, even if, this lies at a distance from the cutting site. Here we report crystal, structures of the catalytic domain of RNase E as trapped allosteric, ... [(full description)]
