RNase R and Hfq are two important proteins that are implicated in post-transcrip-tional gene expression that also integrate the bacterial RNA degradation mechanisms. RNase R is known to preferably bind to polyadenylated 3’-end tails of RNAs besides being also capable of degrading structured RNA molecules. Hfq also preferably binds to polyadenylated stretches near structured RNA regions. The apparent sharing of substrates has prompted us to further investigate the role of both these proteins in RNA degradation. In this work we have found evidence of a possible functional cooperation between RNase R and Hfq. Cells lacking these proteins were found to accumulate products of ribosomal RNA degradation. Our data also indicates accumulation of rR...
