Activity: Ribonuclease H, with EC number 3.1.26.4 Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Function [RNH_ECOLI] Endonuclease that specifically degrades the RNA of RNA-DNA hybrids. RNase H participates in DNA replication; it helps to specify the origin of genomic replication by suppressing initiation at origins other than the oriC locus; along with the 5'-3' exonuclease of pol1, it removes RNA primers from the Okazaki fragments of lagging strand synthesis; and it defines the origin of replication for ColE1-type plasmids by specific cleavage of an RNA preprimer.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00042] Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMed Systematic replacement of the amino acid residues in Escherichia coli ribonuclease HI with those in the thermophilic counterpart has revealed that two mutations, His62-->Pro (H62P) and Lys95-->Gly (K95G), increased the thermostability of the protein. These single-site mutant proteins, together with the mutant proteins His62-->Ala (H62A), Lys95-->Asn (K95N) and Lys95-->Ala (K95A), were crystallized and their structures were determined at 1.8 A resolution. The crystal structures of these mutant proteins reveal that only the local structure around each mutation site is essential for the increase in thermostability. For each mutant protein, the stabilization mechanism is considered to be as follows: (i) H62P is stabilized because of a decrease in the entropy of the unfolded state, without a change in the native backbone structure; (ii) K95G is stabilized since the strain caused by the left-handed backbone structure in the typical 3:5 type loop is eliminated; and (iii) K95N is slightly stabilized by a hydrogen bond formed between the side-chain N delta-atom of the mutated aspargine residue and the main-chain carbonyl oxygen within the same residue.
