  • Title: A new endoribonuclease from Escherichia coli. Ribonuclease N.
    Author: Misra TK, Rhee S, Apirion D.
    Journal: J Biol Chem; 1976 Dec 10; 251(23):7669-74. PubMed ID: 12174.
    Abstract:
    A new ribonuclease called RNase N was isolated from Escherichia coli. It is a nonspecific endoribonuclease that can cleave rRNA, poly(U), and poly(C) to small oligonucleotides and 5'-mononucleotides. It requires monovalent cations and is inhibited by divalent cations. It is suggested that this enzyme plays a role in the decay of rRNA,under various starvation conditions and perhaps in the decay of mRNA.
