RNA degradosome

Components of the RNA degradosome

• RNase Y: ssRNA endonuclease
• RNase J1: 5'-3' exonuclease, does also have endonuclease activity
• polynucleotide phosphorylase: 3'-5' exonuclease
• RNase J2: ssRNA endonuclease, may also have exonuclease activity
• CshA
• enolase
• phosphofructokinase
