  • Sun, W.; Nicholson, A.W.
    Mechanism of action of Escherichia coli ribonuclease III. Stringent chemical requirement for the glutamic acid 117 side chain and Mn2+ rescue of the Glu117Asp mutant (2001), Biochemistry, 40, 5102-5110.

Protein Variants

Protein Variants Comment Organism
E117D mutant is unable to cleave substrate in vitro without affecting substrate binding, substitution of Mn2+ for Mg2+ increases the activity Escherichia coli
E117Q mutant is unable to cleave substrate in vitro but can bind substrate, substitution of Mn2+ for Mg2+ does not increase the activity Escherichia coli

Inhibitors

Inhibitors Comment Organism Structure
Mn2+ at concentrations above 5 mM Escherichia coli

Metals/Ions

Metals/Ions Comment Organism Structure
Mg2+ required, a high concentration of Mg2+ does not inhibit enzyme nor relieve the Mn2+-dependent inhibition Escherichia coli
Mn2+ the optimal concentration is 1 mM, while concentrations above 5 mM are inhibitory Escherichia coli
