    Phenotypes of a mutant

  • growth is strongly impaired (doubling time in complex medium 145 minutes vs. 43 minutes for the wild type) [pubmed|26883633]
  • the mutant is strongly impaired in [SW|sporulation], [SW|genetic competence] and many other phenotypes [Pubmed|23504012]
  • it is not possible to construct a ''[gene|3EB289D0F58A58C693AB588798EE66A731341999|rnjA] [gene|872CCB5A49C9000BD95E4B0472556D5F60F7D7A4|rny]'' double mutant [Pubmed|23504012]
  • The protein

    Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity

  • endonuclease and 5'-3' exonuclease
  • degrades [protein|8950A485A0FEA4BA2FFC0C74A8D3D5D73D44B3FF|SR5] and ''[gene|EB6512177418B1601C6641FB2DEE99C2CD10E671|gapA]'' RNAs [pubmed|27449348]
  • degrades [gene|search|yflS ]mRNA [pubmed|28436820]
  • resolves stalled transcription complexes by a “torpedo” mechanism, whereby RNase J1 degrades the nascent RNA and causes the transcription complex to disassemble upon collision with [SW|RNA polymerase] [pubmed|31840842]
  • Protein family

  • [SW|metallo-beta-lactamase superfamily] (according to UniProt)
  • Paralogous protein(s)

  • [protein|B73CE26E7AEFACFA82C67F3E7DBBB3F766F739CA|RnjB]
  • Effectors of protein activity

  • initeraction with [protein|EB6512177418B1601C6641FB2DEE99C2CD10E671|GapA]-[protein|FC93BA60BD185DE5EF31D5605F0B8294EC2E8E5A|Sr1] stimulates activity [Pubmed|27449348]
  • a NAD-cap stabilizes RNA against exonucleolytic attack by RNase J1 [pubmed|30110644]
  • Structure

  • [PDB|3ZQ4] [Pubmed|21893285]
  • [SW|Localization]

  • cytoplasm, colocalizes with the ribosomes [Pubmed|27708634]
  • Additional information

  • subject to Clp-dependent proteolysis upon glucose starvation [PubMed|17981983]
  • required for [gene|3E1131CFA3EDEB3865638F09BE2F6B6ED2570BE2|thrS] RNA processing, involved in maturation of the 5-end of the 16S rRNA
