Abstract excerpt
In a previous study, we showed that the RNA-binding domain of human RNase H1 is responsible for the positional preference for cleavage exhibited by the enzyme (Wu, H., Lima, W. F., and Crooke, S. T. (2001) J. Biol. Chem. 276, 23547-23553). Here, we identify the substituents on the heteroduplex substrate and the amino acid residues within the RNA-binding domain of human RNase H1 involved in positioning of the...
