In addition to hydrolysing RNA, bovine pancreatic ribonuclease splits esters of pyrimidine nucleoside 3'-phosphates, including dinucleotides. For a series of 3':5'-linked dinucleotides of general structure CpN, where N is a 5' linked nucleoside, kcat for the release of N varies enormously with the precise structure of N. Structural studies have been interpreted to indicate that the group N interacts with a subsite, B2, on the enzyme that comprises Gln69, Asn71 and Glu111. We report studies by site-directed mutagenesis that indicate that Gln69 is not involved in productive interactions with any of the dinucleotide substrates and that Asn71 is an important component of subsite B2 for all dinucleotide substrates tested. Glu111 appears to be functionally involved in catalysis for dinucleotide substrates solely when N is guanosine.

D009154 Mutation Any detectable and heritable change in the genetic material that causes a change in the GENOTYPE and which is transmitted to daughter cells and to succeeding generations. Mutations
D010179 Pancreas A nodular organ in the ABDOMEN that contains a mixture of ENDOCRINE GLANDS and EXOCRINE GLANDS. The small endocrine portion consists of the ISLETS OF LANGERHANS secreting a number of hormones into the blood stream. The large exocrine portion (EXOCRINE PANCREAS) is a compound acinar gland that secretes several digestive enzymes into the pancreatic ductal system that empties into the DUODENUM.

D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
