Abstract
A novel endoribonuclease activity exhibiting polypeptide; a nucleic acid coding for the polypeptide; a recombinant DNA comprising the nucleic acid; a transformant obtained by transformation using the recombinant DNA; a process for producing the polypeptide, characterized by including the steps of culturing the transformant and collecting the polypeptide from the culture; a process for producing single-strand RNA fragments, characterized by including the step of causing the polypeptide to act on a single-strand RNA; and a method of fragmenting a single-strand RNA.
Claims1
A method for degrading a single-stranded RNA, the method comprising:
- allowing a polypeptide having an endoribonuclease activity specific for single-stranded RNA which cleaves RNA in a nucleotide sequence-specific manner to act on a single-stranded RNA,
- wherein said polypeptide has the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 1 or an amino acid sequence having 90% or more homology to the polypeptide of SEQ ID NO:
- 1.
