degradation | RNA-binding domains of RNase II play a more important role in its exoribonuclease activity than they do in the activity of RNase R | Escherichia coli |

D155M | truncated RNase II protein pETIIDELTACSD1DELTAS1 consisting of the nuclease domain alone, but lacking any part of CSD2. Removal of the RNA-binding domains does allow RNase II to proceed further | Escherichia coli |
D278N | mutation at the catalytic center of RNase R, is inactive on A(4), but retains 4% activity of wild-type RNase R on poly(A) and A(17) | Escherichia coli |
additional information | RNase RDELTACSDs is missing the first 221 amino acids of RNase R, which include CSD1 and CSD2. RNase RDELTABasic lacks the 83 amino acids from the C terminus, which comprise the low complexity, highly basic region. RNase RDELTAS1 is truncated 170 amino acids from the C-terminus to remove both the S1 domain and the low complexity, highly basic region. RNase RDELTACSDsDELTAS1 consists of the nuclease domain alone, and, therefore, lacks all of the putative RNA-binding domains. Decrease in affinity upon deletion of either the CSDs or the S1 domain. RNase RDELTABasic displays 2fold higher activity than full-length wild-type RNase R. RNase RDELTACSDs looses 30% of the activity of full-length RNase R on poly(A) 90% on the shorter A(17) substrate. The RNase RDELTACSDsDELTAS1 truncated protein retains only 0.5% activity of the full-length protein on poly(A), and only 0.02% activity on A(17). All of the RNase R-truncated proteins have comparable activity on A(4) | Escherichia coli |

A(17) + H2O | full-length RNase R has similar activity on both poly(A) and A(17) substrates. Full-length RNase II is 20fold more active on A(17) than full-length RNase R | Escherichia coli | AMP + ? | - |

A(4) + H2O | poor substrate, is degraded by RNase R 400fold more slowly than A(17) | Escherichia coli | AMP + ? | - |

additional information | cold-shock domains of RNase R appear to play a role in substrate recruitment, whereas the S1 domain is most likely required to position substrates for efficient catalysis. The nuclease domain alone, devoid of the cold-shock and S1 domains, is sufficient for RNase R to bind and degrade structured RNAs. RNase R binds RNA more tightly than the nuclease domain of RNase II | Escherichia coli | ? | - |
