Ribonuclease E (EC 3.1.26.12, endoribonuclease E, RNase E, Rne protein) is an enzyme.[1][2][3][4][5][6] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

Endonucleolytic cleavage of single-stranded RNA in A- and U-rich regions

RNase E is a bacterial ribonuclease that participates in the processing of ribosomal RNA (9S to 5S rRNA) and the chemical degradation of bulk cellular RNA.
