Abstract excerpt
In order to elucidate on the mechanism of action of RNase Rh from Rhizopus niveus, we investigated the role of Lys108, which is conserved among the RNase T2 family RNases except for two cases. The RNase activities of Lys108 mutant RNases, RNase RNAP K108R and K108L, are about 33.5 and 3.1% of that of the wild type enzyme, respectively. The relative rates of cleavage of dinucleoside phosphates by these two mutant...
