RNA polyadenylation is catalyzed by poly(A) polymerases which use ATP as a substrate to add adenine to the 3’-end of RNAs, which can alter their stability. In E. coli, RNA polyadenylation mediated by the major poly(A) polymerase was previously shown to facilitate degradation of individual RNAs. In this study, we performed the first genome-wide study of RNA stability in the absence of PAP I. Inactivation of the pcnB gene coding for PAP I led to the stabilization of more than a thousand of E. coli RNAs in the form of full-length functional molecules or non-functional fragments. The absence of PAP I altered the energy metabolism, with an almost 20% reduction in ATP levels. To better understand how RNA and energy metabolisms are interconnected, we investigated the role of ATP levels in regulating RNA stability. When we lowered intracellular ATP levels below 0.5mM, many RNAs were stabilized demonstrating the causal link between ATP levels and RNA stability for the first time in E. coli. Above this concentration, changes in ATP levels had no impact on RNA stability. We also demonstrated that some RNAs were stabilized when PAP I was inactivated by low ATP availability. These results clearly demonstrate that PAP I mediates an energy-dependent RNA stabilization which may contribute to cell energy homeostasis under energy-limited conditions.
