Ribonuclease
From Proteopedia
Ribonuclease (RNase) degrades RNA. The endonucleases cleave single or double stranded RNA and include RNase III, A, T1 H and P. Exo-RNases remove terminal nucleotide
from the ends of the RNA molecule. They include RNase II D, T, PH, Polynucleotide Phosphorylase (PNPase) and oligoribonuclease (ORNase).
RNase A cleaves C or U of single-stranded RNA (ssRNA). RNase BA is RNase from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens. RNase D degrades 3'-end pre-tRNA. RNase H cleaves RNA/DNA double-strand to produce ssDNA. RNase I cleaves 3'-end of ssRNA. RNase II degrades 3'-end ssRNA. RNase III cleaves rRNA. RNase P is a ribozyme. RNase S is RNase A cleaved by subtilisin. RNase SA is RNase from Streptomyces auerofaciens. RNase T is involved in RNA maturation. RNase T1 cleaves 3'-end G from ssRNA. RNase U2 cleaves 3'-end A from ssRNA.
