T7 gene 6 exonuclease has an RNase H activity.

T7 gene 6 exonuclease has been shown to have an RNase H activity as well as a double-strand specific DNase activity by the following experiments: The RNase H activity coelutes with the DNase activity from DEAE-cellulose, phosphocellulose, hydroxyapatite, and Sephadex G-200 columns. Gene 6 exonuclease specified by a T7 strain with a temperature sensitive mutation in gene 6 has an extremely heat-labile RNase H activity as well as a heat-labile DNase activity. T7 gene 6 exonuclease degrades the RNA region of a poly(A) . poly(dT) hybrid polymer exonucleolytically from the 5' terminus, releasing a ribonucleoside 5'-monophosphate product. When the RNA strand of a 0X174 RNA . DNA hybrid molecule synthesized with E. coli RNA polymerase is degraded, a ribonucleoside triphosphate is produced from the 5'-triphosphate terminus. Participation of T7 gene 6 exonuclease in the removal of primer RNA in discontinuous replication of T7 DNA is discussed.[1]
