ENZYME entry: EC 4.6.1.18

Accepted Name
Pancreatic ribonuclease.
Alternative Name(s)
Pancreatic RNase.
Ribonuclease I.
RNA lyase ((RNA)-3'-cytidine/uridine-3'-phosphate and 5'-hydroxy- ribonucleotide-3'-(RNA) producing).
RNase.
RNase A.
RNase I.
Reaction catalysed
  • An (RNA) containing cytidine + H(2)O <=> an (RNA)-3'-cytidine-3'-phosphate + a 5'-hydroxy-ribonucleotide-3'-(RNA)
  • An (RNA) containing uridine + H(2)O <=> an (RNA)-3'-uridine-3'-phosphate + a 5'-hydroxy-ribonucleotide-3'-(RNA)
Comment(s)
  • 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.
  • The enzyme can act as an endo- or exo ribonuclease.
  • Formerly EC 2.7.7.16, EC 3.1.4.22 and EC 3.1.27.5.
