Bacterial RNases process RNAs until only short oligomers (2–5 nucleotides) remain, which are then processed by one or more specialized enzymes until only nucleoside monophosphates remain. Oligoribonuclease (Orn) is an essential enzyme that acts in this capacity. However, many bacteria do not encode for Orn and instead encode for NanoRNase A (NrnA). Yet, the catalytic mechanism, cellular roles and physiologically relevant substrates have not been fully resolved for NrnA proteins. We herein utilized a common set of reaction assays to directly compare substrate preferences exhibited by NrnA-like proteins from Bacillus subtilis, Enterococcus faecalis, Streptococcus pyogenes and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. While the M. tuberculosis protein specifically cleaved cyclic di-adenosine monophosphate, the B. subtilis, E. faecalis and S. pyogenes NrnA-like proteins uniformly exhibited striking preference for short RNAs between 2–4 nucleotides in length, all of which were processed from their 5′ terminus. Correspondingly, deletion of B. subtilis nrnA led to accumulation of RNAs between 2 and 4 nucleotides in length in cellular extracts. Together, these data suggest that many Firmicutes NrnA-like proteins are likely to resemble B. subtilis NrnA to act as a housekeeping enzyme for processing of RNAs between 2 and 4 nucleotides in length.
