A number of multidrug-resistant bacterial pathogens code for S1-P1 nucleases with a poorly understood role. We have characterized a recombinant form of S1-P1 nuclease from Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, an opportunistic pathogen. S. maltophilia nuclease 1 (SmNuc1) acts predominantly as an RNase and is active in a wide range of temperatures and pH. It retains a notable level of activity towards RNA and ssDNA at pH 5 and 9 and about 10% of activity towards RNA at 10 °C. SmNuc1 with very high catalytic rates outperforms S1 nuclease from Aspergillus oryzae and other similar nucleases on all types of substrates. SmNuc1 degrades second messenger c-di-GMP, which has potential implications for its role in the pathogenicity of S. maltophilia.
许多多药耐药细菌病原体编码具有未知作用的 S1-P1 核酸酶。我们已经对来自嗜麦芽寡养单胞菌的 S1-P1 核酸酶的重组形式进行了表征,嗜麦芽寡养单胞菌是一种机会性病原体。S. maltophilia nuclease 1 (SmNuc1) 主要作为 RNase 起作用,并在广泛的温度和 pH 值范围内具有活性。它在 pH 值为 5 和 9 时对 RNA 和 ssDNA 保持显著的活性,在 10°C 时对 RNA 的活性约为 10%。SmNuc1 的催化速率非常高,在所有类型的底物上的表现均优于来自米曲霉和其他类似核酸酶的 S1 核酸酶。SmNuc1 降解第二信使 c-di-GMP,这可能与其在嗜麦芽寡养单胞菌致病性中的作用有关。
