dimer constituted by two identical subunits covalently bound through two antiparallel disulfide bridges Bos taurus

Bos taurus
More native RNase A can be induced to form various N- or C-terminal domain-swapped dimers, trimers, and larger oligomers, all reconstituting the active site and augmenting the enzymatic activity against dsRNA with respect to the native monomer. RNase A oligomers can also acquire cytotoxic activity both in vitro and in vivo Bos taurus
oligomer the enzyme can oligomerize through the 3D domain swapping of both N- and C-termini, and its multimers is enzymatically and biologically more active than the native dimer Bos taurus

General Information

General Information Comment Organism
evolution the enzyme belongs to the pancreatic-type secretory ribonuclease superfamily Bos taurus
evolution the enzyme belongs to the pancreatic-type secretory ribonuclease superfamily as a unique natively dimeric member Bos taurus
physiological function the enzyme has almost no anti-tumoral property in pancreatic adenocarcinoma cell lines and in nontumorigenic cells as normal control, and is largely ineffective as anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic agent Bos taurus
physiological function the enzyme has good anti-tumoral property in pancreatic adenocarcinoma cell lines and in nontumorigenic cells as normal control, it stimulates a strong anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic effect in cancer cells. The enzyme triggers Beclin1-mediated autophagic cancer cell death, providing evidence that high proliferation rate of cancer cells may render them more susceptible to autophagy by treatment with the enzyme Bos taurus
