General description
Polynucleotide phosphorylase (PNPase) is required for cell viability and mRNA turnover in Escherichia coli.
Application
Polynucleotide phosphorylase (PNP) has been used in a study to show that spontaneous mutations resulting from replication errors are reduced in a PNP-deficient strain. It has also been used in a study to show that the absence of PNPase makes E. coli cells sensitive to UV, which suggests PNP has a role in survival of UV damage.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Polynucleotide phosphorylase from Escherichia coli functions as a exonuclease as well as a poly(A) polymerase and can add C and U nucleotides to poly(A) tails.
Physical form
Supplied as a solution in 20 mM Hepes buffer pH 7.9, 0.1 mM EDTA, 2 mM DTT, 12.5 mM MgCl2, 200 mM KCl, 21.4% (w/v) Glycerol
Other Notes
One unit will polymerize 1.0 μmole of ADP releasing 1.0 μmole of inorganic phosphate in 15 minutes, at pH 9.1 at 37 °C.
