Description
Summary:Abstract Background In Antarctic P. syringae RNase R play an essential role in the processing of 16S and 5S rRNA, thereby playing an important role in cold-adapted growth of the bacterium. This study is focused on deciphering the in vivo functional activity of mesophilic exoribonuclease R and its catalytic domain (RNB) in an evolutionary distant psychrophilic bacterium Pseudomonas syringae Lz4W. Results Our results confirm that E. coli RNase R complemented the physiological functions of the psychrophilic bacterium P. syringae RNase R and rescued the cold-sensitive phenotype of Pseudomonas syringae ∆rnr mutant. More importantly, the catalytic domain (RNB) of the E. coli RNase R is also capable of alleviating the cold-sensitive growth defects of ∆rnr mutant as seen with the catalytic domain (RNB) of the P. syringae enzyme. The Catalytic domain of E. coli RNase R was less efficient than the Catalytic domain of P. syringae RNase R in rescuing the cold-sensitive growth of ∆rnr mutant at 4°C, as the ∆rnr ...
