Specifically cleaves at the 3'-side of pyrimidine (uracil or cytosine) phosphate bonds in RNA. The reaction takes place in two steps, with the 2',3'-cyclic phosphodiester intermediates released from the enzyme at the completion of the first step. Hydrolysis of these cyclic compounds occurs at a much slower rate through a reversal of the first step, in which the -OH group of water substitutes for the 2'-OH group of the ribose used in the first step, and does not take place until essentially all the susceptible 3',5'-phosphodiester bonds have been cyclised.

an [RNA] containing cytidine + H2O = an [RNA]-3'-cytidine-3'-phosphate + a 5'-hydroxy-ribonucleotide-3'-[RNA]
RNase A catalyzes a well-characterized acid-base mechanism involving two histidines (His12 and His119) and a transition state stabilizing positive charge (Lys41). The transphosphorylation of a single-stranded RNA molecule by the enzyme yields a 2',3'-cyclic phosphomonoester intermediate, which can be expelled from the active site or hydrolyzed in a microscopic reverse reaction involving the same two histidines

RNA lyase ([RNA]-3'-cytidine/uridine-3'-phosphate and 5'-hydroxy-ribonucleotide-3'-[RNA] producing)

endonucleolytic cleavage to 3'-phosphomononucleotides and 3'-phosphooligonucleotides ending in Cp or Up with 2',3'-cyclic phosphate intermediates, e.g. tRNA, 18S and 28S rRNA, yeast RNA,4.5S RNA
predominant cleavage sites for onconase are at UG and GG residues. With the tRNA substrates studied, the predominant cleavages mapin the triplet UGG located in the context of the variable loop or the D-arm of the tRNA

RNA subsites and reaction mechanism catalyzed by RNase A, molecular interactions between the RNA substrate and residues of the catalytic groove. The following residues are known to interact with each subsite: Lys66 (P0), Thr45 and Asp83 (B1), Gln11, His12, Lys41, His119, and Asp121 (P1), Asn71 and Glu111 (B2), and Lys7 and Arg10 (P2). Structure-function relationship, overview. Potential role for catalytic base His119 in ligand discrimination and/or stabilization in addition to its critical role in catalysis, molecular dynamic simulations show that His119 adopts both rotameric positions in solution, most likely experiencing conformational exchange over the course of a catalytic reaction. Functional importance of long-range conformational rearrangements in RNase A
comparison of folding kinetics with bovine RNase A and angiogenin at pH 8.0 and 15°C. Direct correlation between the number of cis-prolyl bonds in a native protein and the complexity with which it folds via slower phases
wild-type in complex with oligonucleotide d(AUGA) at 1.9 A resolution, mutant T89N/E91A in complex with 5'-AMP at 1.65 A resolution. In wild-type, residue E91 forms two hydrogen bonds with the guanine nucleobase in d(AUGA), and T89 is in close proximity to that nucleobase. One nucleic acid molecule is bound to one enzyme molecule. In the mutant, four 5'-AMP molecules are bound to each enzyme molecule in a non-productive mode
