| Abstract |
The rpsO mRNA, encoding ribosomal protein S15, is only partly stabilized when the three ribonucleases implicated in its degradation--RNase E, polynucleotide phosphorylase, and RNase II--are inactivated. In the strain deficient for RNase E and 3'-to-5' exoribonucleases, degradation of this mRNA is correlated with the appearance of posttranscriptionally elongated molecules. We report that these elongated mRNAs harbor poly(A) tails, most of which are fused downstream of the 3'-terminal hairpin at the site where transcription terminates. Poly(A) tails are shorter in strains containing 3'-to-5' exoribonucleases. Inactivation of poly(A) polymerase I (pcnB) prevents polyadenylylation and stabilizes the rpsO mRNA if RNase E is inactive. In contrast polyadenylylation does not significantly modify the stability of rpsO mRNA undergoing RNase E-mediated degradation. |
