basic FUNCTION
| endonuclease degrading the RNA of RNA-DNA hybrids specifically |
|
is required for effective mtDNA replication in humans |
|
has acquired a hybrid binding domain that confers processivity and affinity for the substrate |
|
translational organization of RNASEH1 allows tight control of expression of RNASEH1 in mitochondria, where its excess or absence can lead to cell death, without affecting the expression of the nuclear RNASEH1 |
|
RNASEH1, RNASEH2A are necessary for the removal of RNA that is found in DNA |
|
RNase H1 functions to processively cleave long stretches of RNA/DNA hybrids |
|
implicated in mitochondrial DNA replication and RNA processing and is required for embryonic development |
|
is a member of the 'RNase H1 degradosome' and the key C1QBP enhances the enzymatic efficiency of RNASEH1 |
|
potential roles for RNase H1 to include assuring proper transcription and processing of guanosine-cytosine rich pre-ribosomal RNA in mitochondria |
|
maintains regulated levels of telomeric RNA-DNA hybrids at 'Alternative Lengthening of Telomeres' to trigger HR without compromising telomere integrity too severely |
