Purification and some novel properties of Escherichia coli RNase II

R. S. Gupta, T. Kasai and D. Schlessinger

RNase II of Escherichia coli (EC 3.1.4.23) has been purified to apparent homogeneity. The K+-activated diesterase activity against poly(U), which defines RNase II, cochromatographs with activity against T4 mRNA or pulse-labeled E. coli RNA successively on DEAE-cellulose, hydroxyapatite or phosphocellulose, and Sephadex G-150 columns. Activities with both substrates are selectively reduced to less than 2% of the wild type level in a newly isolated mutant strain, S296, or after thermal inactivation in a mutant strain with temperature-sensitive RNase II. RNase II releases 5'-XMP without a lag as its only detectable alcohol-soluble produce from all substrates and has an apparent molecular weight of 80,000 to 90,000 in both nondissociating and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels. The pure enzyme shows the standard K+ activation against poly(A), poly(U), or poly(C), but only a slight preference for K+ over Na+ ions with T4 mRNA or pulse labeled E. coli RNA as substrate. Uniformly labeled E. coli rRNA or tRNA is degraded little if at all.
