Ribonuclease P (RNase P), which is required for the 5'-end maturation of tRNAs in every organism, has been shown to play a limited role in other aspects of RNA metabolism in Escherichia coli. Using RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq), we demonstrate that RNase P inactivation affects the abundances of ~46% of the expressed transcripts in E. coli and provide evidence that its essential function is its ability to generate pre-tRNAs from polycistronic tRNA transcripts. The RNA-seq results agreed with the published data and northern blot analyses of 75/83 transcripts (mRNAs, sRNAs and tRNAs). Changes in transcript abundances in the RNase P mutant also correlated with changes in their half-lives. Inactivating the stringent response did not alter the rnpA49 phenotype. Most notably, increases in the transcript abundances were observed for all genes in the cysteine regulons, multiple toxin-antitoxin modules, and sigma S-controlled genes. Surprisingly, poly(A) polymerase (PAP I) modulated the abundances of ~10% of the transcripts affected by RNase P. A comparison of the transcriptomes of RNase P, RNase E and RNase III mutants suggest that they affect distinct substrates. Together, our work strongly indicates that RNase P is a major player in all aspects of post-transcriptional RNA metabolism in E. coli. The ribonuclease RNase P is known to be essential for the 5'-end maturation of every tRNAs in all kingdom of life. Our RNA-seq analyses of the transcriptome of the rnpA49 temperature sensitive mutant showed that the enzyme also affects the abundance of RNAs other than tRNAs, suggesting it plays a major role in post-transcriptional RNA metabolism in E. coli. PAP I mediated polyadenylation modulates the abundance of ~10% of the transcripts in the absence of RNase P.
