[Primary structure and catalytic properties of extracellular ribonuclease from Bacillus circulans]
Abstract:
A comparative research of individual peptide structures obtained after hydrolysing of Bacillus circulans and B. amyloliquefaciens RNases by the Glu-specific staphylococcal protease was carried out by means of mass-spectrometry and Edman degradation methods. A complete amino acid sequence of B. circulans RNase was determined. Gln15, Gly65 and Gln104 residues in B. amyloliquefaciens RNase were found to be substituted by Leu, Ala and Lys residues in B. circulans RNase, respectively. Catalytic properties of the B. circulans RNase in transesterification reactions with poly- and oligonucleotides as substrates were investigated.

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.
