Protein Variants

Protein Variants Comment Organism
Q157A is a conserved glutamine in the Aa-RNase III dsRNA-binding domain. Aa-RNase III cleavage of the pre-16S substrate is blocked by the Q157A mutation, which reflects a loss of substrate binding affinity. But the Q157A mutation does not affect folding or structure in a significant manner Aquifex aeolicus

additional information Aquifex aeolicus small hairpins based on the stem structures associated with the Aquifex 16S and 23S rRNA precursors are cleaved at sites that are consistent with production of the immediate precursors to the mature rRNAs. Substrate reactivity is independent of the distal box sequence, but is strongly dependent on the proximal box sequence. RNase III mechanism of dsRNA cleavage, overview ?
