Identification
Name:Ribonuclease HI
Synonyms:
  • RNase HI
  • Ribonuclease H
  • RNase H
Gene Name:rnhA
Enzyme Class:
Biological Properties
General Function:Involved in ribonuclease H activity
Specific Function:Endonuclease that specifically degrades the RNA of RNA- DNA hybrids. RNase H participates in DNA replication; it helps to specify the origin of genomic replication by suppressing initiation at origins other than the oriC locus; along with the 5'-3' exonuclease of pol1, it removes RNA primers from the Okazaki fragments of lagging strand synthesis; and it defines the origin of replication for ColE1-type plasmids by specific cleavage of an RNA preprimer
Cellular Location:Cytoplasm (Potential)
