alteration of the 3'-terminal base has no effect on the rate of hydrolysis, whereas modification of the 3'-terminal sugar has a major effect. tRNA terminating with a 3'-phosphate is completely inactive as a substrate. The rate of hydrolysis of intact tRNA is very slow compared to tRNAs containing extra residues or compared to tRNAs from which part of the -C-C-A sequence has been removed. Oxidation of the terminal sugar, reduction of the dialdehyde with borohydride, or removal of the terminal AMP from intact tRNA increase the activity of the substrate. Addition of a second -C-C-A sequence gives an active substrate indicating that the relative resistance of intact tRNA to RNase D hydrolysis is not due to the sequence per se but to the structural environment of the 3'-terminus. The enzyme is an exonuclease which initiates hydrolysis at the 3'-terminus and removes 5'-mononucleotides in a random fashion |

exonuclease activity. RNase D can recognize structurally altered tRNA molecules. The enzyme acts poorly on intact tRNA and is inactive with the synthetic polyribonucleotides, poly(A), poly(U), or double-stranded poly(A)*poly(U). The enzyme acts on diesterase-treated tRNA, but relatively poorly on intact tRNA. RNase D does not attack ribosomal RNA |
