RNases
Contents
RNases are involved in the processing and degradation of the different classes of mRNAs, tRNAs, rRNAs and small RNAs
Exoribonucleases
- RNase J1: 5'-3' activity, does also have endonuclease activity
- RNase PH: 3'-5' activity
- YhaM: 3'-5' activity
- RNase R: 3'-5' activity
- polynucleotide phosphorylase: 3'-5' activity
Endoribonucleases
- RNase J1: ssRNA endonuclease, does also have exonuclease activity
- RNase J2: ssRNA endonuclease, may also have exonuclease activity
- RNase HII: cleaves RNA in RNA-DNA hybrids
- RNase HIII: cleaves RNA in RNA-DNA hybrids
- RNase Bsn: extracellular RNase
- RNase III: dsRNA endonuclease
- mini-III: dsRNA endonuclease
- RNase RNase M5: dsRNA endonuclease
