RESUMEN
In this work, we characterize the domains for the in vivo interaction between ribonuclease E (RNase E) and ribonuclease PH (RNase PH). We initially explored the interaction using pull-down assays with full wild-type proteins expressed from a chromosomal monocopy gene. Once the interaction was confirmed, we narrowed down the sites of interaction in each enzyme to an acidic 16-amino acid region in the carboxy-terminal domain of RNase E and a basic 80-amino acid region in RNase PH including an α3 helix. Our results suggest two novel functional domains of interaction between ribonucleases.
