T2 Family ribonucleases: ancient enzymes with diverse roles Luhtala N; Parker RTrends Biochem Sci 2010[May]; 35 (5): 253-9Ribonucleases of the T2 family are found in the genomes of protozoans, plants, bacteria, animals and viruses. A broad range of biological roles for these ribonucleases have been suggested, including scavenging of nucleic acids, degradation of self-RNA, serving as extra- or intracellular cytotoxins, and modulating host immune responses. Recently, RNaseT2 family members have been implicated in human pathologies such as cancer and parasitic diseases. Interestingly, certain functions of RNaseT2 family members are independent of their nuclease activity, suggesting that these proteins have additional functions. Moreover, humans lacking RNASET2 manifest a defect in neurological development, perhaps due to aberrant control of the immune system. We review the basic structure and function of RNaseT2 family members and their biological roles.|*Ribonucleases/chemistry/genetics/physiology[MESH]|Animals[MESH]|Bacteria/enzymology/genetics[MESH]|Endoribonucleases[MESH]|Genome[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Neoplasms/enzymology/genetics[MESH]|Plants/enzymology/genetics[MESH]|Proteins/genetics[MESH]|Viruses/enzymology/genetics[MESH] |
