Prior sequence analysis studies have suggested that bacterial ribonuclease
(RNase) Ds comprise a complete domain that is found also in Homo sapiens
polymyositis-scleroderma overlap syndrome 100 kDa autoantigen and Werner
syndrome protein. This RNase D 3'-->5' exoribonuclease domain was
predicted to have a structure and mechanism of action similar to the
3'-->5' exodeoxyibonuclease (proofreading) domain of DNA polymerases.
Here, hidden Markov model (HMM) and phylogenetic studies have been used to
identify and characterise other sequences that may possess this exonuclease
domain. Results indicate that it is also present in the RNase T family;
Borrelia burgdorferi P93 protein, an immunodominant antigen in Lyme
disease; bacteriophage T4 dexA and Escherichia coli exonuclease I,
processive 3'-->5' exodeoxyribonucleases that degrade single-stranded
DNA; Bacillus subtilis dinG, a probable helicase involved in DNA repair and
possibly replication, and peptide synthase 1; Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Pab1p- dependent poly(A) nuclease PAN2 subunit, required for shortening
mRNA poly(A) tails; Caenorhabditis elegans and Mus musculus CAF1,
transcription factor CCR4-associated factor 1; Xenopus laevis XPMC2,
prevention of mitotic catastrophe in fission yeast; Drosophila melanogaster
egalitarian, oocyte specification and axis determination, and exuperantia,
establishment of oocyte polarity; H.sapiens HEM45, expressed in tumour cell
lines and uterus and regulated by oestrogen; and 31 open reading frames
including one in Methanococcus jannaschii . Examination of a multiple
sequence alignment and two three-dimensional structures of proofreading
domains has allowed definition of the core sequence, structural and
functional elements of this exonuclease domain.
