RNases
Contents
RNases are involved in the processing and degradation of the different classes of mRNAs, tRNAs, rRNAs and small RNAs
Exoribonucleases
- RNase J1: 5'-3' activity, does also have endonuclease activity
- RNase PH: 3'-5' activity
- YhaM: 3'-5' activity
- RNase R: 3'-5' activity
- polynucleotide phosphorylase: 3'-5' activity
Endoribonucleases
- RNase J1: ssRNA endonuclease, does also have exonuclease activity
- RNase J2: ssRNA endonuclease, may also have exonuclease activity
- RNase Y: ssRNA endonuclease
- RNase P: ssRNA endonuclease
- RNase Z: ssRNA endonuclease
