Ribonuclease H: from discovery to 3D structure
R J Crouch. New Biol. 1990 Sep.
Abstract
Ribonucleases H (RNases H) from Escherichia coli and retroviruses share common features at the primary amino acid sequence and activity levels. RNase H is involved in selection of the origins of replication in E. coli and in DNA synthesis of the positive strand of retroviruses. Crystallographic studies of E. coli RNase H indicate that several amino acids, conserved in both cellular and retroviral RNases H, form an active site for hydrolysis of the RNA of RNA-DNA hybrids. Multiple forms of RNase H are present in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It is suggested that these RNases H may be part of larger polypeptides and, as has been shown for reverse transcriptase RNase H derived from retroviruses, that the location and/or activity of the RNase H may be influenced by other regions of the polypeptides.
