Ribonucleases and their Applications

open access: yes, 2016
Ribonuclease (RNase) is a type of nuclease that catalyzes degradation of RNA into smaller components. RNase can be classified into two broader categories namely endoribonucleases and exoribonucleases on the basis of their site of action.

Identification of unknown functions in Lassa virus L protein

open access: yes, 2010
The central domain of the 200-kDa Lassa virus L protein is a putative RNA-dependent RNA polymerase. N- and C-terminal domains may harbor enzymatic functions important for viral mRNA synthesis, including capping enzymes or cap-snatching endoribonucleases.

Metal ions govern coronavirus endoribonuclease activity

open access: yesNucleic Acids Research
Abstract Coronavirus nonstructural protein 15 (nsp15) is an endoribonuclease that restricts viral double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) accumulation in the cytosol to evade host immunity. Given the co-localization of nsp15 and replicating viral RNA, the mechanism controlling nsp15 activity is essential, yet poorly understood.

Dicer promotes tumorigenesis by translocating to nucleus to promote SFRP1 promoter methylation in cholangiocarcinoma cells

open access: yes, 2017
Dicer, a member of the RNase III family of endoribonucleases, has an important role in regulating methylation of CpG islands in mammal cancer cells. However, the underlying mechanism of action remains unclear.

Comparative functional analysis of ribonuclease 1 homologs: molecular insights into evolving vertebrate physiology

open access: yes, 2017
Pancreatic-type ribonucleases (ptRNases) comprise a class of highly conserved secretory endoribonucleases in vertebrates. The prototype of this enzyme family is ribonuclease 1 (RNase 1).

VapCs of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Cleave RNAs Essential for Translation:VapCs of M. tuberculosis cleave tRNAs and 23S rRNA [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The major human pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis can survive in the host organism for decades without causing symptoms. A large cohort of Toxin-Antitoxin (TA) modules contribute to this persistence.

Basis for regulated RNA cleavage by functional

open access: yes, 2001
RNase L and Ire1p are members of a superfamily of regulated endoribonucleases that play essential roles in mediating diverse types of cellular stress responses.
