Bacillus subtilis YhcR endonuclease and related proteins, N-terminal metallophosphatase domain YhcR is a Bacillus subtilis sugar-nonspecific endonuclease. It cleaves endonucleolytically to yield nucleotide 3'-monophosphate products, similar to Staphylococcus aureus micrococcal nuclease. YhcR appears to be located in the cell wall, and is thought to be a substrate for a Bacillus subtilis sortase. YhcR is the major calcium-activated nuclease of B. subtilis. The N-terminal metallophosphatase domain belongs to a large superfamily of distantly related metallophosphatases (MPPs) that includes: Mre11/SbcD-like exonucleases, Dbr1-like RNA lariat debranching enzymes, YfcE-like phosphodiesterases, purple acid phosphatases (PAPs), YbbF-like UDP-2,3-diacylglucosamine hydrolases, and acid sphingomyelinases (ASMases). MPPs are functionally diverse, but all share a conserved domain with an active site consisting of two metal ions (usually manganese, iron, or zinc) coordinated with octahedral geometry by a cage of histidine, aspartate, and asparagine residues. The conserved domain is a double beta-sheet sandwich with a di-metal active site made up of residues located at the C-terminal side of the sheets. This domain is thought to allow for productive metal coordination. |
