Reaction: RNA = a 5'-hydroxy-ribonucleotide + n nucleoside-2',3'-cyclophosphates
Other name(s): Proteus mirabilis RNase; ribonucleate nucleotido-2'-transferase (cyclizing); bacterial RNA lyase; Bacillus subtilis intracellular ribonuclease
Systematic name: [RNA] 5'-hydroxy-ribonucleotide-3'-[RNA fragment]-lyase (cyclicizing; [RNA fragment]-3'- nucleoside -2',3'-cyclophosphate-forming)
Comments: This enzyme catalyses endonucleolytic cleavage to 2',3'-cyclic nucleotides. The cyclic products may be hydrolysed to the corresponding 3'-phosphates by 2',3'-cyclic-nucleotide 2'-phosphodiesterase (EC 3.1.4.16). The enzyme from B. subtilis is inhibited by ATP.
