Specific interactions of
glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) with RNA have been
reported both in vitro and in vivo. We show
that eukaryotic and bacterial GAPDH and two proteins from the
hyperthermophilic archaeon Sulfolobus solfataricus, which are annotated as dehydrogenases, cleave RNA producing similar degradation patterns. RNA cleavage is most efficient at 60 °C, at
MgCl2 concentrations up to 5 mM, and takes
place between pyrimidine and adenosine. The RNase active center of the
putative aspartate semialdehyde dehydrogenase from S. solfataricus is located within the N-terminal 73 amino acids,
which comprise the first mononucleotide-binding site of the predicted
Rossmann fold. Thus, RNA cleavage has to be taken into account in the
ongoing discussion of the possible biological function of RNA binding
by dehydrogenases.
