Abstract excerpt
Polynucleotide phosphorylase (PNPase) is a phosphate-dependent 3' to 5' exonuclease widely diffused among bacteria and eukaryotes. The enzyme, a homotrimer, can also be found associated with the endonuclease RNase E and other proteins in a heteromultimeric complex, the RNA degradosome. PNPase negatively controls its own gene (pnp) expression by destabilizing pnp mRNA. A current model of autoregulation maintains...
