NonStd Res: PCA Related: 1km8 Activity: Pancreatic ribonuclease, with EC number 3.1.27.5 Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Function [RNASO_LITCT] Preferentially cleaves single-stranded RNA at pyrimidine residues with a 3'flanking guanine. Hydrolyzes poly(U) and poly(C) as substrates, and prefers the former. The S-lectins in frog eggs may be involved in the fertilization and development of the frog embryo. This lectin agglutinates various animal cells, including normal lymphocytes, erythrocytes, and fibroblasts of animal and human origin. It is cytotoxic against several tumor cells.

Publication Abstract from PubMed The Rana catesbeiana (bullfrog) ribonucleases, which belong to the RNase A superfamily, exert cytotoxicity toward tumor cells. RC-RNase, the most active among frog ribonucleases, has a unique base preference for pyrimidine-guanine rather than pyrimidine-adenine in RNase A. Residues of RC-RNase involved in base specificity and catalytic activity were determined by site-directed mutagenesis, k(cat)/K(m) analysis toward dinucleotides, and cleavage site analysis of RNA substrate. The results show that Pyr-1 (N-terminal pyroglutamate), Lys-9, and Asn-38 along with His-10, Lys-35, and His-103 are involved in catalytic activity, whereas Pyr-1, Thr-39, Thr-70, Lys-95, and Glu-97 are involved in base specificity. The cytotoxicity of RC-RNase is correlated, but not proportional to, its catalytic activity. The crystal structure of the RC-RNase.d(ACGA) complex was determined at 1.80 A resolution. Residues Lys-9, His-10, Lys-35, and His-103 interacted directly with catalytic phosphate at the P(1) site, and Lys-9 was stabilized by hydrogen bonds contributed by Pyr-1, Tyr-28, and Asn-38. Thr-70 acts as a hydrogen bond donor for cytosine through Thr-39 and determines B(1) base specificity. Interestingly, Pyr-1 along with Lys-95 and Glu-97 form four hydrogen bonds with guanine at B(2) site and determine B(2) base specificity.
