Bacterial RNA polyadenylation apears to be a signal for RNA degradation. Variants: 1 = poly(A) polymerase without Hfq 2 = poly(A) polymerase and Hfq Hfq is included because of evidence for a functional association with poly(A) polymerase: Mohanty, B. K., Maples, V. F., and Kushner, S. R. 2004. The Sm-like protein Hfq regulates polyadenylation dependent mRNA decay in Escherichia coli. Mol. Microbiol. 54: 905-920. Hfq protein has limited phylogenetic distribution. PSI-BLAST very impressively finds a set of proteins, and nothing else close. Present in Aquifex Present in Thermotoga Present in many, but not all Proteobacteria (no epsilons, not rickettsia group) Present Leptospira, but not Treponema Present in Bacillus and relatives, but not in most low G+C gram positives not in high G+C gram positives not in cyanobacteria not in Chloroflexus not in Deinococcus and Thermus not in Chlamydia group Polyribonucleotide nucleotidyltransferase is included because of evidence for functional association. tRNA nucleotidyltransferase (EC 2.7.7.25) is included because it is a difficult-to-separate paralogue of Poly(A) polymerase (EC 2.7.7.19). | ||||||||||||
