    Phenotypes of a mutant

  • The ''pnpA'' mutant is cold sensitive and sensitive to tetracyclin, it shows multiseptate filamentous growth. [Pubmed|8636041]
  • The mutant is deficient in genetic competence (no expression of the late competence genes) [Pubmed|8825779]
  • The ''[SW|pnpA]'' mutant exhibits reduced motility and reduced expression of the [SW|fla-che operon] [Pubmed|26857544]
  • The mutant overexpresses the ''trp'' and ''[protein|search|putB]-[protein|search|putC]-[protein|search|putP]'' operons.
  • accumulation of ''[SW|slrA]'' mRNA [Pubmed|26857544]
  • The protein

    Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity

  • 3'-5' exoribonuclease, [SW|RNase]
  • PNPase degrades the trp mRNA from the RNA-TRAP complex
  • involved in double-strand break (DSB) repair via homologous recombination (HR) or non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) [Pubmed|21859751]
  • degrades ssDNA (3' --> 5') (stimulated by [protein|search|RecA], inhibited by [protein|search|SsbA]) [Pubmed|21859751]
  • can polymerize ssDNA at a free 3' OH end, stimulated by [protein|search|RecN] [Pubmed|21859751]
  • Structure

  • [PDB|3CDI] (protein from ''E. coli''), [PDB|3GCM] (protein from ''E. coli'', PNPase/RNase E micro-domain/RNA tetragonal crystal form )
  • [SW|Localization]

  • cytoplasm (homogeneous) [Pubmed|27708634]
  • [SW|Interactions]

  • part of the [SW|RNA degradosome] [Pubmed|19193632]
  • [protein|search|PnpA]-[protein|search|RnjA] [Pubmed|19193632], K(D) of the interaction: 250 nM [Pubmed|22198292]
  • [protein|search|PnpA]-[protein|search|PfkA] [Pubmed|19193632]
  • [protein|search|PnpA]-[protein|search|Rny] [Pubmed|19193632,21803996,26797123], K(D) of the interaction: 5 nM [Pubmed|22198292]
  • [protein|search|PnpA]-[protein|search|CshA] [Pubmed|20572937]
  • Additional information

  • required for the expression of late competence genes ''[SW|comGA]'' and ''[protein|search|comK]'', requirement bypassed by a ''[protein|search|mecA]'' disruption; may be necessary for modification of the ''[SW|srfAA]'' transcript (stabilization or translation activation)
  • Expression and Regulation

    Regulation

  • [protein|search|RelA] dependent downregulation (Class I) during stringent response [Pubmed|11948165]
  • Additional information

  • belongs to the 100 [SW|most abundant proteins] [PubMed|15378759]
