PNPase and RhlB Interact and Reduce the Cellular Availability of Oxidized RNA in Deinococcus radiodurans

Abstract

Oxidative RNA damage can be caused by oxidative stress, such as hydrogen peroxide, ionizing radiation, and antibiotic treatment. 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (8-oxoG), a major type of oxidized RNA, is highly mutagenic and participates in a variety of disease occurrences and development. Although several proteins have been identified to recognize 8-oxoG-modified RNA, the knowledge of how RNA oxidative damage is controlled largely remains unclear, especially in nonmodel organisms.
