RraA, a protein regulator of RNase E activity, plays a unique
role in modulating the mRNA abundance in Escherichia coli.
The marine pathogenic bacterium Vibrio vulnificus also possesses
homologs of RNase E (VvRNase E) and RraA (VvRraA1
and VvRraA2). However, their physiological roles have not
yet been investigated. In this study, we demonstrated that
VvRraA1 expression levels affect the pathogenicity of V. vulnificus.
Compared to the wild-type strain, the VvrraA1-deleted
strain (ΔVvrraA1) showed decreased motility, invasiveness,
biofilm formation ability as well as virulence in mice; these
phenotypic changes of ΔVvrraA1 were restored by the exogenous
expression of VvrraA1. Transcriptomic analysis indicated
that VvRraA1 expression levels affect the abundance
of a large number of mRNA species. Among them, the halflives
of mRNA species encoding virulence factors (e.g., smcR
and htpG) that have been previously shown to affect VvrraA1
expression-dependent phenotypes were positively correlated
with VvrraA1 expression levels. These findings suggest that
VvRraA1 modulates the pathogenicity of V. vulnificus by regulating
the abundance of a subset of mRNA species.

RNA metabolism needs to be tightly regulated in response to
changes in cellular physiology. Ribonucleases (RNases) play
an essential role in almost all aspects of RNA metabolism, including
processing, degradation, and recycling of RNA molecules.
Thus, living systems have evolved to regulate RNase
activity at multiple levels, including transcription, post-transcription,
post-translation, and cellular localization. In addition,
various trans-acting regulators of RNase activity have
been discovered in recent years. This review focuses on the
physiological roles and underlying mechanisms of trans-acting
regulators of RNase activity.

Studies have shown that many enzymes involved in glycolysis
are upregulated in Escherichia coli endoribonuclease G (rng)
null mutants. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying
the RNase G-associated regulation of glycolysis have
not been characterized. Here, we show that RNase G cleaves
the 5untranslated region of triosephosphate isomerase A
(tpiA) mRNA, leading to destabilization of the mRNA in E.
coli. Nucleotide substitutions within the RNase G cleavage
site in the genome resulted in altered tpiA mRNA stability,
indicating that RNase G activity influences tpiA mRNA
abundance. In addition, we observed that tpiA expression was
enhanced, whereas that of RNase G was decreased, in E. coli
cells grown anaerobically. Our findings suggest that RNase
G negatively regulates tpiA mRNA abundance in response
to oxygen availability in E. coli.

Abstract
PDF

RraA is a protein inhibitor of RNase E (Rne), which catalyzes
the endoribonucleolytic cleavage of a large proportion
of RNAs in Escherichia coli. The antibiotic‐producing bacterium
Streptomyces coelicolor also contains homologs of
RNase E and RraA, designated as RNase ES (Rns), RraAS1,
and RraAS2, respectively. Here, we report that RraAS2 requires
both scaffold domains of RNase ES for high-affinity
binding and inhibitory action on the ribonucleolytic activity.
Analyses of the steady-state level of RNase E substrates indicated
that coexpression of RraAS2 in E. coli cells overproducing
Rns effectively inhibits the ribonucleolytic activity of
full-length RNase ES, but its inhibitory effects were moderate
or undetectable on other truncated forms of Rns, in which the
N- or/and C-terminal scaffold domain was deleted. In addition,
RraAS2 more efficiently inhibited the in vitro ribonucleolytic
activity of RNase ES than that of a truncated form
containing the catalytic domain only. Coimmunoprecipitation
and in vivo cross-linking experiments further showed
necessity of both scaffold domains of RNase ES for high-affinity
binding of RraAS2 to the enzyme, resulting in decreased
RNA-binding capacity of RNase ES. Our results indicate that
RraAS2 is a protein inhibitor of RNase ES and provide clues
to how this inhibitor affects the ribonucleolytic activity of
RNase ES.
