General annotation (Comments)

Function

3'-5' exoribonuclease that releases 5'-nucleoside monophosphates and is involved in maturation of structured RNAs (rRNAs, tRNAs and SsrA/tmRNA). In stationary phase, involved in the post-transcriptional regulation of ompA mRNA stability. Shortens RNA processively to di- and trinucleotides. In vitro, exhibits helicase activity, which is independent of its RNase activity. Required for the expression of virulence genes in enteroinvasive strains of E.coli. Ref.5 Ref.8 Ref.10 Ref.12

Catalytic activity

Exonucleolytic cleavage in the 3'- to 5'-direction to yield nucleoside 5'-phosphates. Ref.5

Cofactor

Magnesium. Ref.5

Enzyme regulation

Stimulated by the presence of a monovalent cation. Ref.5

Subunit structure

Monomer. Ref.5

Subcellular location

Cytoplasm Potential HAMAP-Rule MF_01895.

Induction

Induced seven- to eightfold by cold shock. Induction is mainly a result of the stabilization of the rnr transcripts. Also induced at stationary phase. Ref.5 Ref.8 Ref.9 Ref.10

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the RNR ribonuclease family. RNase R subfamily.

Contains 1 S1 motif domain.

Biophysicochemical properties

Kinetic parameters:

Vmax=26900 nmol/min/mg enzyme with Poly(A) as substrate Ref.5

Vmax=4840 nmol/min/mg enzyme with 23S rRNA as substrate

Vmax=2750 nmol/min/mg enzyme with 16S rRNA as substrate

Vmax=290 nmol/min/mg enzyme with 5S rRNA as substrate

Vmax=350 nmol/min/mg enzyme with tRNA as substrate

pH dependence:

Optimum pH is 7.5-9.5.

Temperature dependence:

Optimum temperature is 50 degrees Celsius.

Sequence caution

The sequence AAA97075.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous initiation. Translation N-terminally shortened.
