[Intracellular and extracellular ribonucleases of Bacillus intermedius]
Abstract:
Endocellular and exocellular ribonucleases were studied in Bacillus intermedius. Two fractions of ribonucleases (Rf 0.72 and 0.96) were found to be associated with the cellular surface and seven fractions (Rf 0.1, 0.17, 0.33, 0.45, 0.72, 0.82 and 0.96) were detected in the cytoplasm. RNAase with Rf 0,096 had the highest activity and was repressed by inorganic orthophosphate. This RNase accumulated in the cell during the stationary growth phase just as the free enzyme form did in the culture medium. The immunological characteristics of these enzymes were identical as was shown by immunochemical analysis.

Types of RNA
Three main types of RNA are involved in protein synthesis: messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), and ribosomal RNA (rRNA). These RNAs perform diverse functions and can be broadly classified as protein-coding or non-coding RNA. Non-coding RNAs play important roles in the regulation of gene expression in response to developmental and environmental changes. Non-coding RNAs in prokaryotes can be manipulated to develop more effective antibacterial drugs for human or animal use.
