| UniProt functional annotation for P61823 | |||
| UniProt code: P61823. |
| Organism: | Bos taurus (Bovine). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Laurasiatheria; Artiodactyla; Ruminantia; Pecora; Bovidae; Bovinae; Bos. | |
| Function: | Endonuclease that catalyzes the cleavage of RNA on the 3' side of pyrimidine nucleotides. Acts on single-stranded and double- stranded RNA. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7479688}. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=An (RNA) containing cytidine + H(2)O = an (RNA)-3'-cytidine- 3'-phosphate + a 5'-hydroxy-ribonucleotide-3'-(RNA).; EC=4.6.1.18; | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=An (RNA) containing uridine + H(2)O = an (RNA)-3'-uridine-3'- phosphate + a 5'-hydroxy-ribonucleotide-3'-(RNA).; EC=4.6.1.18; | |
| Subunit: | Interacts with and forms tight 1:1 complexes with RNH1. Dimerization of two such complexes may occur. Interaction with RNH1 inhibits this protein (By similarity). Monomer. {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11513604}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Secreted. | |
| Tissue specificity: | Pancreas. | |
| Miscellaneous: | Ribonuclease can destabilize or unwind the DNA helix by complexing with single-stranded DNA; this complex arises by an extended multisite cation-anion interaction between the lysine and arginine residues of the enzyme and the phosphate groups of the nucleotides. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the pancreatic ribonuclease family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
