- W4313487886 abstract "tRNAs and ribosomal RNAs are often considered stable RNAs. In contrast to this view, we recently proposed that tRNAs are degraded during amino acid starvation and drug-induced transcription inhibition. However, reevaluation of our experimental approach revealed that common RNA extraction methods suffer from alarming extraction and size biases that can lead to gross underestimation of RNA levels in starved Escherichia coli populations. Quantification of tRNAs suffers additional biases due to differing fractions of tRNAs with base modifications in growing versus starved bacteria. Applying an improved methodology, we measured tRNA levels after starvation for amino acids, glucose, phosphate, or ammonium and transcription inhibition by rifampicin. We report that tRNA levels remain largely unaffected in all tested conditions, including several days of starvation. This confirms that tRNAs are remarkably stable RNAs and serves as a cautionary tale about quantification of RNA from cells cultured outside the steady-state growth regime. rRNA, conversely, is extensively degraded during starvation. Thus, E. coli downregulates the translation machinery in response to starvation by reducing the ribosome pool through rRNA degradation, while a high concentration of tRNAs available to supply amino acids to the remaining ribosomes is maintained. IMPORTANCE We show that E. coli tRNAs are remarkably stable during several days of nutrient starvation, although rRNA is degraded extensively under these conditions. The levels of these two major RNA classes are considered to be strongly coregulated at the level of transcription. We demonstrate that E. coli can control the ratio of tRNAs per ribosome under starvation by means of differential degradation rates. The question of tRNA stability in stressed E. coli cells has become subject to debate. Our in-depth analysis of RNA quantification methods reveals hidden technical pitfalls at every step of the analysis, from RNA extraction to target detection and normalization. Most importantly, starved E. coli populations were more resilient to RNA extraction than unstarved populations. The current results underscore that the seemingly trivial task of quantifying an abundant RNA species is not straightforward for cells cultured outside the exponential growth regime." @default.
