Description (originally from EcoCyc[1]) degradosome
Comments (originally from EcoCyc[1]) The degradosome is a large, multiprotein complex involved in RNA degradation. It consists of the RNA degradation enzymes RNase E and PNPase, as well as the ATP-dependent RNA helicase RhlB and the metabolic enzyme enolase [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][10][14][15][16][16][17][18][19][20][21][22].
Proteomic analysis has been used to examine components of the degradosome[23]
