An acid ribonuclease (RNase RCL2) was purified to homogeneity on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) from a homogenate of bullfrog liver (Rana catesbeiana). The apparent molecular weight estimated from SDS-PAGE was ca. 25kDa. The pH optimum of the RNase was 5.0. The RNase released mononucleotides from RNA in the order of 3'-UMP, 3'-GMP and 3'-AMP. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of RNase RCL2 was determined up to the 20th residue, and it was found to have a 5 residue sequence homology with that of oyster acid RNase [H. Watanabe et al. J. Biochem. (Tokyo), 114, 800 (1993)]. Thus, RNase RCL2 seems to be a member of the RNase T2 family RNases. This is the first evidence of the RNase T2 family RNase in amphibians.
从牛蛙(牛蛙)肝脏匀浆中通过十二烷基硫酸钠 - 聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳(SDS - PAGE)将一种酸性核糖核酸酶(RNase RCL2)纯化至同质。SDS - PAGE估计的表观分子量约为25kDa。该核糖核酸酶的最适pH为5.0。该核糖核酸酶从RNA中释放单核苷酸的顺序为3'-UMP、3'-GMP和3'-AMP。测定了RNase RCL2的N端氨基酸序列直至第20个残基,发现它与牡蛎酸性核糖核酸酶的序列有5个残基的同源性[H. Watanabe等人,《生物化学杂志》(东京),114,800(1993)]。因此,RNase RCL2似乎是核糖核酸酶T2家族核糖核酸酶的一员。这是两栖动物中存在核糖核酸酶T2家族核糖核酸酶的首个证据。
