Biogenesis of the essential precursor of the bacterial cell envelope, glucosamine‐6‐phosphate (GlcN6P), is controlled by intricate post‐transcriptional networks mediated by GlmZ, a small regulatory RNA (sRNA). GlmZ stimulates...
Polynucleotide phosphorylase (PNPase) is an ancient exoribonuclease conserved in the course of evolution and is found in species as diverse as bacteria and humans. Paradoxically, Escherichia coli PNPase can act not only as an...
In all domains of life, RNA chaperones safeguard and guide the fate of the cellular RNA pool. RNA chaperones comprise structurally diverse proteins that ensure proper folding, stability, and ribonuclease resistance of RNA, and...
RNA-remodeling proteins, including RNA helicases and chaperones, act to remodel RNA structures and/or protein-RNA interactions and are required for all processes involving RNAs. Although many viruses encode RNA helicases and...
