摘要: RNase H是一种专一性水解RNA:DNA杂合链中RNA链的核糖核酸酶,它广泛存在于从原核生物到人的生物体中.本文通过等温滴定量热技术研究了Mg2+,Mn2+和Ca2+与一种古细菌Methanococcus jannaschii中的II型RNase H结合的热力学.首次用这种方法获得了这一结合过程的热力学参数.并证实了这些金属离子与RNase HII按1∶1结合.为RNase HII酶反应机理和折叠研究提供了重要信息.

关键词: RNase HII, 等温滴定量热, 二价金属离子

Abstract: RNase H,a ribonuclease specifically degrades the RNA chain in RNA:DNA hybrid,exists vastly in organisms from procaryotic to humanic.We use isothermal titration calorimetry to study the binding thermodynamics of Mg2+,Mn2+,Ca2+ to a type II RNase H from an archaeon:Methanococcus jannaschii.For the first time we obtain the thermodynamic parameters of this binding reaction and verify that these metal ions bind with RNase HII with a ratio of 1:1.This will give an important information for studying RNase HII reaction mechanism and folding properties.

Key words: RNase HII, Isothermal titration calorimetry, Divalent metal ion
