    Abstract The alaW alaX operon encodes the Ala2 tRNAs, one of the two alanine tRNA isotypes in Escherichia coli. Our previous RNA-seq study showed that alaW alaX dicistronic RNA levels increased significantly in the absence of both RNase P and poly(A) polymerase I (PAP I), suggesting a role of polyadenylation in its stability. In this report, we show that RNase E initiates the processing of the primary alaW alaX precursor RNA by removing the Rho-independent transcription terminator, which appears to be the rate limiting step in the separation and maturation of the Ala2 pre-tRNAs by RNase P. Failure to separate the alaW and alaX pre-tRNAs by RNase P leads to poly(A)-mediated degradation of the dicistronic RNAs by polynucleotide phosphorylase (PNPase) and RNase R. Surprisingly, the thermosensitive RNase E encoded by the rne-1 allele is highly efficient in removing the terminator (>99%) at the nonpermissive temperature suggesting a significant caveat in experiments using this allele. Together, our data present a comprehensive picture of the Ala2 tRNA processing pathway and demonstrate that unprocessed RNase P substrates are degraded via a poly(A) mediated decay pathway.

    Abstract Ribonuclease P (RNase P), which is required for the 5'-end maturation of tRNAs in every organism, has been shown to play a limited role in other aspects of RNA metabolism in Escherichia coli. Using RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq), we demonstrate that RNase P inactivation affects the abundances of ~46% of the expressed transcripts in E. coli and provide evidence that its essential function is its ability to generate pre-tRNAs from polycistronic tRNA transcripts. The RNA-seq results agreed with the published data and northern blot analyses of 75/83 transcripts (mRNAs, sRNAs, and tRNAs). Changes in transcript abundances in the RNase P mutant also correlated with changes in their half-lives. Inactivating the stringent response did not alter the rnpA49 phenotype. Most notably, increases in the transcript abundances were observed for all genes in the cysteine regulons, multiple toxin-antitoxin modules, and sigma S-controlled genes. Surprisingly, poly(A) polymerase (PAP I) modulated the abundances of ~10% of the transcripts affected by RNase P. A comparison of the transcriptomes of RNase P, RNase E, and RNase III mutants suggests that they affect distinct substrates. Together, our work strongly indicates that RNase P is a major player in all aspects of post-transcriptional RNA metabolism in E. coli.

    Abstract Despite significant progress in understanding the diversity of tRNA processing pathways in Escherichia coli, the mechanism for the maturation of tRNAs encoded within the rRNA operons has not received much attention. Here, we show that the Glu2, Ile1, and Ala1B tRNAs, encoded by 10 genes located between the 16S and 23S rRNAs in the seven rRNA operons, are matured via a RNase E-independent processing pathway that utilizes at least six different enzymes. It has been shown that the Glu2 and Ile1-Ala1B pre-tRNAs released by initial RNase III cleavages of the 30S primary rRNA transcripts retain extended 5'-leader (35-139 nt) and 3'-trailer (166-185 nt) sequences. However, the 5' maturation of the tRNAs by RNase P is inhibited until the trailer sequences are shortened to 1-4 nucleotides, initially by a second RNase III cleavage at 31-42 nucleotides downstream of the CCA determinant followed by exonucleolytic trimming. The RNase III cleaved Glu2 and Ile1-Ala1B trailer fragments are degraded via PAP I- dependent exonucleolytic decay. Compared to the six previously characterized tRNA processing pathways, maturation of the Glu2, Ile1, and Ala1B tRNAs is considerably more complex and appears to be distinct from what occurs in Gram-positive bacteria.

    Abstract Recent studies suggest that poly(A) polymerase I (PAP I)-mediated polyadenylation in Escherichia coli is highly prevalent among mRNAs as well as tRNA precursors. Primary tRNA transcripts are initially processed endonucleolytically to generate pre-tRNA species, which undergo 5'-end maturation by the ribozyme RNase P. Subsequently, a group of 3' → 5' exonucleases mature the 3' ends of the majority of tRNAs with few exceptions. PAP I competes with the 3' → 5' exonucleases for pre-tRNA substrates adding short poly(A) tails, which not only modulate the stability of the pre-tRNAs, but also regulate the availability of functional tRNAs. In this review, we discuss the recent discoveries of new tRNA processing pathways and the implications of polyadenylation in tRNA metabolism in E. coli.

    Abstract Proline tRNA 3'-maturation in Escherichia coli occurs through a one-step RNase E endonucleolytic cleavage immediately after the CCA determinant. This processing pathway is distinct from the 3'-end maturation of the other tRNAs by avoiding the widespread use of 3' → 5' exonucleolytic processing, 3'-polyadenylation and subsequent degradation. Here, we show that the cytosine (C) at the mature 5'-terminus of the proK and proL tRNAs is required for both the RNase E cleavage immediately after the CCA determinant and their functionality. Thus, changing the C nucleotide at the mature 5'-terminus of the proL and proK tRNAs to the more common G nucleotide led to RNase E cleavages 1-4 nucleotides downstream of the CCA determinant. Furthermore, the 5'-modified mutant tRNAs required RNase T and RNase PH for their 3'-maturation and became substrates for polyadenylation and degradation. Strikingly, the aminoacylation of the 5'-modified proline tRNAs was blocked due to the change in the recognition element for prolyl-tRNA-synthetase. An analogous modification of the pheV 5'-mature terminus from G to C nucleotide did not support cell viability. This result provides additional support for the importance of first nucleotide of the mature tRNAs in their processing and functionality.

    Abstract Post-transcriptional RNA metabolic pathways play important roles in permitting prokaryotes to operate under a variety of environmental conditions. Although significant progress has been made during the last decade in deciphering RNA processing pathways in a number of bacteria, a complete understanding of post-transcriptional RNA metabolism in any single microorganism is far from reality. Here we describe multiple experimental approaches that can be used to study mRNA stability, tRNA and rRNA processing, sRNA metabolism, and polyadenylation in prokaryotes. The methods described here can be readily utilized in both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria with simple modifications.

    Abstract Ribonuclease P (RNase P) is essential for the 5'-end maturation of tRNAs in all kingdoms of life. In Escherichia coli, temperature sensitive mutations in either its protein (rnpA49) and or RNA (rnpB709) subunits lead to inviability at nonpermissive temperatures. Using the rnpA49 temperature sensitive allele, which encodes a partially defective RNase P at the permissive temperature, we show here for the first time that the processing of RNase P-dependent polycistronic tRNA operons to release pre-tRNAs is the essential function of the enzyme, since the majority of 5'-immature tRNAs can be aminoacylated unless their 5'-extensions ≥8 nt. Surprisingly, the failure of 5'-end maturation elicits increased polyadenylation of some pre-tRNAs by poly(A) polymerase I (PAP I), which exacerbates inviability. The absence of PAP I led to improved aminoacylation of 5'-immature tRNAs. Our data suggest a more dynamic role for PAP I in maintaining functional tRNA levels in the cell.

    Abstract Gene expression in Gram-negative bacteria is regulated at many levels, including transcription initiation, RNA processing, RNA/RNA interactions, mRNA decay, and translational controls involving enzymes that alter translational efficiency. In this review, we discuss the various enzymes that control transcription, translation, and RNA stability through RNA processing and degradation. RNA processing is essential to generate functional RNAs, while degradation helps control the steady-state level of each individual transcript. For example, all the pre-tRNAs are transcribed with extra nucleotides at both their 5' and 3' termini, which are subsequently processed to produce mature tRNAs that can be aminoacylated. Similarly, rRNAs that are transcribed as part of a 30S polycistronic transcript are matured to individual 16S, 23S, and 5S rRNAs. Decay of mRNAs plays a key role in gene regulation through controlling the steady-state level of each transcript, which is essential for maintaining appropriate protein levels. In addition, degradation of both translated and nontranslated RNAs recycles nucleotides to facilitate new RNA synthesis. To carry out all these reactions, Gram-negative bacteria employ a large number of endonucleases, exonucleases, RNA helicases, and poly(A) polymerase, as well as proteins that regulate the catalytic activity of particular RNases. Under certain stress conditions, an additional group of specialized endonucleases facilitate the cell's ability to adapt and survive. Many of the enzymes, such as RNase E, RNase III, polynucleotide phosphorylase, RNase R, and poly(A) polymerase I, participate in multiple RNA processing and decay pathways.
