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. |
