Crystal structure of stable protein CutA1 from psychrotrophic bacterium Shewanella sp. SIB1
CutA1 is widely found in bacteria, plants and animals, including humans. The functions of CutA1, however, have not been well clarified. It is known that CutA1s from Pyrococcus horikoshii, Thermus thermophilus and Oryza sativa unfold at temperatures remarkably higher than the growth temperatures of the host organisms. In this work the crystal structure of CutA1 from the psychrotrophic bacterium ...
متن کاملCharacterization of RNase HII substrate recognition using RNase HII-argonaute chimaeric enzymes from Pyrococcus furiosus.
RNase H (ribonuclease H) is an endonuclease that cleaves the RNA strand of RNA-DNA duplexes. It has been reported that the three-dimensional structure of RNase H is similar to that of the PIWI domain of the Pyrococcus furiosus Ago (argonaute) protein, although the two enzymes share almost no similarity in their amino acid sequences. Eukaryotic Ago proteins are key components of the RNA-induced ...
متن کاملRedesignation of the RNase D activity associated with retroviral reverse transcriptase as RNase H.
In the presence of Mn2+, reverse transcriptase of both human immunodeficiency virus and murine leukemia virus hydrolyzes duplex RNA. However, designating this novel activity RNase D conflicts with Escherichia coli RNase D, which participates in tRNA processing. On the basis of its location in the RNase H domain, we propose that this novel retroviral activity be redesignated RNase H*.
متن کاملBiochemical characterization of RNase HII from Aeropyrum pernix.
Aeropyrum pernix contains one homolog of ribonuclease H (RNase H), A. pernix RNase HII (Ape-RNase HII). Activity characterization showed that Ape-RNase HII exhibited the highest activity in the presence of 5 mM Mn(2+), 1 mM Co(2+), or 10 mM Mg(2+), respectively; however, its cleavage efficiencies at different cleavage sites for Mn(2+) and Mg(2+) were different. Ape-RNase HII cleaved 12-bp RNA/D...
متن کاملStructure-specific nuclease activities of Pyrococcus abyssi RNase HII.
Faithful DNA replication involves the removal of RNA residues from genomic DNA prior to the ligation of nascent DNA fragments in all living organisms. Because the physiological roles of archaeal type 2 RNase H are not fully understood, the substrate structure requirements for the detection of RNase H activity need further clarification. Biochemical characterization of a single RNase H detected ...
