Functional narrative    

Ribonuclease E is made up of two domains, the N-terminal domain, NTD and the C-terminal domain, CTD. The CTD, which is disordered, functionally organizes the RNA degradosome (Callaghan 2004). Within the CTD, there are sites for self-association and interaction with helicase-RhlB, PNPase and RNA.

Comments:
CTD can be cross-linked to itself, thus forming dimers. The region that can self-interact is from 500-752 residues.


Within the disordered CTD, there are four regions that have predicted structural propensity. These segments are called RISPs (regions of increased structural propensity). The RISPs are; segment A- residues 565-585, segment B- residues 633-712, segment C- residues 839-850 and segment D- residues 1021-1061.

Comments:
The experimental domain included the coiled coil segment B region.


The 7SrRNA binding region is within this domain.


There is an arginine-rich region within this domain, residues 796-819, that may gain some structure upon the binding to RNA.


This domain contains the portion of the disordered CTD that binds helicase RhlB. It binds helicase RhlB in a 1:1 ratio. The binding of helicase RhlB to this domain stimulates the ATPase activity of the helicase. Binding to the helicase protein does not induce folding of the R-domain.

Comments:
This region is completely contained within the R-domain.


This region is disordered because it is within the CTD domain of the protein but it is thought to gain structure upon the binding of RNA.

Comments:
This domain contains the entire C segment, residues 839-850.


This fragment is a version of CTD isolated under native conditions without affinity tags.


This domain was co-purified with enolase. The binding region included residues 816-1038.
