Description
Ribonuclease T1 (RNase T1) from Aspergillus oryzae is an endoribonuclease that hydrolyzes after G residues. Cleavage occurs between the 3’-phosphate group of a guanidine ribonucleotide and 5’-hydroxyl of the adjacent nucleotide. The initial product is a 2’:3’ cyclic phosphate nucleoside that is hydrolyzed to the corresponding 3’-nucleoside phosphate. It differs from Pancreatic RNase in that it attacks the guanine sites specifically to yield 3'-GMP and oligonucleotides with a 3'-GMP terminal group.
