The Native Monomer of Bacillus Pumilus Ribonuclease Does Not Exist Extracellularly

Abstract: Supported by crystallography studies, secreted ribonuclease of Bacillus pumilus (binase) has long been considered to be monomeric in form. Recent evidence obtained using native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and size-exclusion chromatography suggests that binase is in fact dimeric. To eliminate ambiguity and contradictions in the data we have measured conformational changes, hypochromic effect, and hydrodynamic radius of binase. The immutability of binase secondary structure upon transition from low to hig… Show more

“…Secretion of enzymes including RNases, which participate in mobilization of organic phosphates, is one of the mechanisms of bacterial adaptation to changing environmental conditions. The ability of Bacillus pumilus , Bacillus amyloliquefaciens , and Bacillus licheniformis to produce extracellular RNases (binases, baRNases, and baliphases, respectively) is actively investigated ( Ulyanova et al, 2016 ; Ilinskaya et al, 2018 ). Low concentrations of RNases stimulate plant growth and resistance to a broad spectrum of stress factors, and high levels of them show antiviral properties by destroying viral RNA.…”

“…This method is helpful to detect aggregates in macromolecular solutions, to determine the size of proteins and to monitor the binding of ligands. The hydrodynamic diameter of binase and balifase was found to be 3.67 nm and 3.25 nm, respectively (Figure 3), while the calculated size of their monomers is 1.6 nm [44]. Therefore, these RNases are represented in solution mainly by dimeric forms.…”

“…Currently, more than 20 extracellular RNases of Bacillus have been discovered. For example, B. amyloliquefaciens, B. pumilus, and B. licheniformis produce extracellular RNases called barnases, binases, and baliphases, respectively [63,64]. Among endophytic microorganisms isolated from diverse cultivated Cucurbitaceae, 73% of Bacillus, 27% of Paenibacillus, and 30% of Enterobacteriaceae isolates, as well as all Cronobacter, Pantoea, Microbacterium, and Staphylococcus isolates displayed RNase activity [65].…”
