STRUCTURE OF RIBONUCLEASE H PHASED AT 2 ANGSTROMS RESOLUTION BY MAD ANALYSIS OF THE SELENOMETHIONYL PROTEIN
Overview
Ribonuclease H digests the RNA strand of duplex RNA.DNA hybrids into, oligonucleotides. This activity is indispensable for retroviral infection, and is involved in bacterial replication. The ribonuclease H from, Escherichia coli is homologous with the retroviral proteins. The crystal, structure of the E. coli enzyme reveals a distinctive alpha-beta tertiary, fold. Analysis of the molecular model implicates a carboxyl triad in the, catalytic mechanism and suggests a likely mode for the binding of RNA.DNA, substrates. The structure was determined by the method of multiwavelength, anomalous diffraction (MAD) with the use of synchrotron data from a, crystal of the recombinant selenomethionyl protein.
