Escherichia coli ribonucleases (RNases) HII, III, II, PH and D have been
used to characterise new and known viral, bacterial, archaeal and
eucaryotic sequences similar to these endo- (HII and III) and
exoribonucleases (II, PH and D). Statistical models, hidden Markov models
(HMMs), were created for the RNase HII, III, II and PH and D families as
well as a double-stranded RNA binding domain present in RNase III. Results
suggest that the RNase D family, which includes Werner syndrome protein and
the 100 kDa antigenic component of the human polymyositis scleroderma
(PMSCL) autoantigen, is a 3'-->5' exoribonuclease structurally and
functionally related to the 3'-->5' exodeoxyribonuclease domain of DNA
polymerases. Polynucleotide phosphorylases and the RNase PH family, which
includes the 75 kDa PMSCL autoantigen, possess a common domain suggesting
similar structures and mechanisms of action for these 3'-->5'
phosphorolytic enzymes. Examination of HMM-generated multiple sequences
alignments for each family suggest amino acids that may be important for
their structure, substrate binding and/or catalysis.
