Type | Family |
Description | This family of proteins are about 50 to 77kDa. The central region is well conserved and contains three conserved histidines. Most of these proteins are related at the N-terminal region to the beta-lactamase family. The family has been characterised as ribonuclease J. RNase J cleaves the 5'-leader sequence of certain mRNAs and may play a role in the maturation and stability of specific mRNAs [ ]. It is also required for the maturation of the 16S rRNA acting preferentially on 16S rRNA precursors after association of the 30S and 50S ribosomal subunits [, ]. |
