D303C | mutation results in nearly full loss of activity regardless of metal ion | Escherichia coli |
D346C | the mutation leads to almost complete loss of activity dependent on Mg2+. The activity of the mutant enzyme is fully restored by the presence of Mn2+ with kinetic parameters fully equivalent to those of wild-type enzyme | Escherichia coli |

Mg2+ | RNase E requires a divalent metal ion for its activity. Mg2+ is the physiological divalent metal ion supporting activity of RNase E in vivo. Mg2+ and Mn2+ support significant rates of activity in vitro against natural RNAs, with Mn2+ being preferred. Both Mg2+ and Mn2+ also support cleavage of an oligonucleotide substrate with similar kinetic parameters for both ions | Escherichia coli | |
Mn2+ | RNase E requires a divalent metal ion for its activity. Mg2+ is the physiological divalent metal ion supporting activity of RNase E in vivo. Mg2+ and Mn2+ support significant rates of activity in vitro against natural RNAs, with Mn2+ being preferred. Both Mg2+ and Mn2+ also support cleavage of an oligonucleotide+substrate with similar kinetic parameters for both ions | Escherichia coli | |
additional information | Ca2+, Co3+, Cu2+ and Fe2+ are unable to support the activity of RNase E | Escherichia coli | |
Ni2+ | RNase E requires a divalent metal ion for its activity. Mg2+ is the physiological divalent metal ion supporting activity of RNase E in vivo. Ni2+ and Zn2+ permits low levels of activity in vitro | Escherichia coli | |
Zn2+ | RNase E requires a divalent metal ion for its activity. Mg2+ is the physiological divalent metal ion supporting activity of RNase E in vivo. Ni2+ and Zn2+ permits low levels of activity in vitro | Escherichia coli |
