چکیده
The preceding paper described the purification and some of the properties of a nuclease from Neurospora crussa (1). The purpose of this communication is to describe its mode of attack as an endonuclease with a high degree of specificity for polynucleotides (both riboand deoxyribo-) lacking an ordered structure. Moreover, it has a distinct preference for diester bonds within a polynucleotide in which guanine residues are involved.

متن کاملRapid RNA sequencing: nucleases from Staphylococcus aureus and Neurospora crassa discriminate between uridine and cytidine.
Using end-labelled RNA, significant changes in base specificity of three nucleases have been detected under defined conditions. Staphylococcus aureus nuclease at pH 3.5 without Ca++ cleaves all Pyr-N bonds more uniformly and efficiently than RNase A, without any preference for Pyr-A bonds. At pH 7.5 in 10 mM Ca++ this enzyme cleaves all N-C and N-G bonds slowly, whereas N-U and N-A bonds are hy...
متن کاملBiotransformation of Hydrocortisone by Neurospora crassa
The ability of Neurospora crassa FGSC 4335 in the biotransformation of hydrocortisone was investigated. The microorganism produced two major metabolites after incubation with the substrate for seven days. Each microbial product was purified chromatographically and identified on the basis of spectral data. The products were identified as 11?,17?,20?,21-tetrahydroxypregn-4-en-3-one (II) and 11?-h...
متن کاملStructure and engineering of L-arabinitol 4-dehydrogenase from Neurospora crassa.
L-arabinitol 4-dehydrogenase (LAD) catalyzes the conversion of l-arabinitol into l-xylulose with concomitant NAD(+) reduction. It is an essential enzyme in the development of recombinant organisms that convert l-arabinose into fuels and chemicals using the fungal l-arabinose catabolic pathway. Here we report the crystal structure of LAD from the filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa at 2.6 A res...
متن کاملThe Conversion of Shikimic Acid to Anthranilic Acid by Extracts of Neurospora Crassa.
The role of shikimic acid as a common intermediate in the synthesis of phenylalanine, tyrosine, tryptophan, and p-aminobenzoic acid has been recognized for some time (l-3). The enzymes which catalyze the synthesis of shikimic acid from intermediates of carbohydrate metabolism have been observed in extracts of bacteria (4-6) as well as Neurospora crassa (7). On the other hand, the reactions lead...
