Its mode of function is controversial; it has been proposed to be an mRNA interferase but also an inhibitor of translation initiation. When overproduced in wild-type cells, inhibits bacterial growth and translation by cleavage of mRNA molecules while it has a weak effect on colony forming ability. Overproduction of Lon protease specifically activates YoeB-dependent mRNA cleavage, leading to lethality. YefM binds to the promoter region of the yefM-yeoB operon to repress transcription, YeoB acts as a corepressor. Shown in vitro to be an mRNA interferase that requires translation for substrate cleavage; if the mRNA is mutated so as to not be translatable it is no longer cleaved. Cleavage only occurs within translated regions. Has RNase activity and preferentially cleaves at the 3'-end of purine ribonucleotides. Also shown in vitro to be a translation initiation blocker. Binds to the 70S ribosome and 50S ribosomal subunit; binding is inhibited by hygromycin A and tetracycline, both of which bind to the 30S subunit in the A site. Thus YoeB is located at the interface between 50S and 30S ribosomes and interacts with the A site where it cleaves mRNA, blocking translation initiation.

Publication Abstract from PubMed The eubacterial chromosome encodes various addiction modules that control global levels of translation through RNA degradation. Crystal structures of the Escherichia coli YefM2 (antitoxin)-YoeB (toxin) complex and the free YoeB toxin have been determined. The structure of the heterotrimeric complex reveals an asymmetric disorder-to-order recognition strategy, in which one C terminus of the YefM homodimer exclusively interacts with an atypical microbial ribonuclease (RNase) fold of YoeB. Comparison with the YefM-free YoeB structure indicates a conformational rearrangement of the RNase catalytic site of YoeB, induced by interaction with YefM. Complementary biochemical experiments demonstrate that the YoeB toxin has an in vitro RNase activity that preferentially cleaves at the 3' end of purine ribonucleotides.
