Crystallization (Comment) | Organism |
---|---|
purified recombinant unliganded wild-type enzyme and pNP-TMP-bound D163A mutant, and uridine-bound wild-type and mutant enzymes, sitting drop vapour diffusion method, crystals of unliganded CpsORN are obtained from 15% w/v PEG 3350 and 0.1 M magnesium formate, 20°C, for larger single crystals, by hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method, the drop volume is increased from 200 nl to 0.001 ml against 0.5 ml reservoir solution, optimised single crystals are obtained in the same condition as that of initial screening. The crystals of pNP-TMP-bound CpsORN are observed under several conditions. Among them, the most suitable crystals are obtained from the 1.4 M ammonium tartrate dibasic and 0.1 M Tris, pH 8.5, condition. The crystals of linked RNA-bound form are obtained with 0.04 M citric acid, 0.06 M Bis-Tris propane pH 6.4, and 20% w/v PEG 3350. Crystals of uridine-bound form are obtained with 0.2 M potassium thiocyanate and 20% w/v PEG 3350.

exonucleolytic cleavage of oligonucleotides to yield nucleoside 5'-phosphates | RNA binding and hydrolysis mechanism of oligoribonuclease CpsORN, overview. The His158 residue shows inward movement toward the active site to interact with the cleaved uridine phosphate, in the two-uridine complex structure. The side chain of His158 is also near the cleavage site of the U-U RNA substrate. The His158 is an activator of the water molecule during the enzymatic reaction of enzyme CpsORN. The manganese ion forms a new interaction with the 3'-oxygen of the ribose in the U1 ribonucleotide | Colwellia psychrerythraea |

additional information | structure analysis, identification of active site structure and key residues responsible for enzymatic catalysis of CpsORN, the active site of CpsORN has a negatively charged surface, created by Asp12, Glu14, Asp112, and Asp163, overview. His66 is located near the active site and potentially stabilises the negative charge of the nucleotide. His66 residue also plays a significant role in the cleavage mechanism. His66 and His158 are completely conserved among other ORNs. Residues Ser108 and Tyr129 are not essential for the RNase activity of CpsORN | Colwellia psychrerythraea |
physiological function | cells regulate their intracellular mRNA levels by using specific ribonucleases. Oligoribonuclease (ORN) is a 3'-5' exoribonuclease for small RNA molecules, important in RNA degradation and re-utilisation | Colwellia psychrerythraea |
