RNase activity in human interferon preparations.
The level of RNase activity in human interferon preparations was examined. Although sequential purification of interferon resulted in nearly a 300-fold increase in specific activity, RNase-specific activity remained more or less constant. The implications of this finding for the analyses of the mode of action of interferon are discussed.
متن کاملPotentiation of interferon activity by mixed preparations of fibroblast and immune interferon.
Mixed preparations of fibroblast and immune interferons interacted with cells synergistically to cause the development of a much greater level of protection than expected on the basis of their separate activities. This increased level of protection was 5- to 20-fold greater than expected on the basis of a simple additive effect of the interferons. The potentiating factor copurified with both fi...
متن کاملA subunit of human nuclear RNase P has ATPase activity.
Human nuclear RNase P purified from HeLa cells has ATPase activity. This activity is associated with one of the protein subunits of the enzyme, Rpp20. Thus, human nuclear RNase P, which contains several proteins and one essential RNA, has at least one other enzymatic activity in addition to cleavage of phosphoester bonds in RNA. The amino acid sequence of Rpp20 has a signature motif found in an...
متن کاملHuman immunodeficiency virus reverse transcriptase-associated RNase H activity.
Biochemical characteristics of the RNase H activity associated with immunoaffinity purified human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) reverse transcriptase (RT) were examined. Glycerol gradient centrifugation of HIV RT resulted in a single peak of RNase H, associated with RT activity, with an apparent molecular weight of 110,000. HIV RNase H exhibited a marked substrate preference for poly(dC).[3H]pol...
متن کاملStructure and activity of the only human RNase T2
Mutations in the gene of human RNase T2 are associated with white matter disease of the human brain. Although brain abnormalities (bilateral temporal lobe cysts and multifocal white matter lesions) and clinical symptoms (psychomotor impairments, spasticity and epilepsy) are well characterized, the pathomechanism of RNase T2 deficiency remains unclear. RNase T2 is the only member of the Rh/T2/S ...
