Preliminary investigation of deoxyoligonucleotide binding to ribonuclease A using mass spectrometry: An attempt to develop a lab experience for undergraduates [version 1; referees: 2 approved]

open access: yesF1000Research, 2018
Deoxyoligonucleotide binding to bovine pancreatic ribonuclease A (RNase A) was investigated using electrospray ionization ion-trap mass spectrometry (ESI-IT-MS). Deoxyoligonucleotides included CCCCC (dC5) and CCACC (dC2AC2).

Ligand-Induced Variations in Structural and Dynamical Properties Within an Enzyme Superfamily

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2018
Enzyme catalysis is a complex process involving several steps along the reaction coordinates, including substrate recognition and binding, chemical transformation, and product release.

Construction of Highly Stable Cytotoxic Nuclear-Directed Ribonucleases

open access: yesMolecules, 2018
Ribonucleases are proteins whose use is promising in anticancer therapy. We have previously constructed different human pancreatic ribonuclease variants that are selectively cytotoxic for tumor cells by introducing a nuclear localization signal into ...

Elevated serum ribonuclease in patients with pancreatic cancer.

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 1976
Serum RNase (ribonuclease) of normal persons and of patients with pancreatitis, carcinoma of pancreas, or other neoplasms was determined with poly(C) as substrate. Strikingly abnormal elevations occur in the serum RNase of patients with pancreatic cancer.

NMR studies on structure and dynamics of the monomeric derivative of BS-RNase: new insights for 3D domain swapping. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Three-dimensional domain swapping is a common phenomenon in pancreatic-like ribonucleases. In the aggregated state, these proteins acquire new biological functions, including selective cytotoxicity against tumour cells.

Endowing Human Pancreatic Ribonuclease with Toxicity for Cancer Cells*

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2001
Onconase® is an amphibian protein that is now in Phase III clinical trials as a cancer chemotherapeutic. Human pancreatic ribonuclease (RNase 1) is homologous to Onconase® but is not cytotoxic. Here, ERDD RNase 1, which is the L86E/N88R/G89D/R91D variant

Localization of Disulfide Bonds in Ribonuclease Using Low pH Trypsin and LC-ESI-QTOF-MS

open access: yesCHIMIA
We evaluated a method to localize disulfide bonds in bovine pancreatic ribonuclease (RNase) by applying low pH trypsin protein digestion with a bottom-up LC-ESI-QTOF-MS approach.

Nonenzymic reactivation of reduced bovine pancreatic ribonuclease by air oxidation and by glutathione oxidoreduction buffers.

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 1975
With the glutathione system that leads to rapid regeneration of reduced lysozyme (Saxena, V. P., and Wetlaufer, D. B. (1971) Biochemistry 9, 5015), reduced pancreatic ribonuclease (RNase) regenerated activity in high yield (greater than 90%) but at a ...

Deciphering transcriptional plasticity in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma reveals alterations in sensory neuron innervation

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Pancreatic sensory neurons innervating healthy and PDAC tissue were retrogradely labeled and profiled by single‐cell RNA sequencing. Tumor‐associated innervation showed a dominant neurofilament‐positive subtype, altered mitochondrial gene signatures, and reduced non‐peptidergic neurons.

Conserved amino acid networks modulate discrete functional properties in an enzyme superfamily

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
In this work, we applied the sequence-based statistical coupling analysis approach to characterize conserved amino acid networks important for biochemical function in the pancreatic-type ribonuclease (ptRNase) superfamily.
