Metal interactions in the active site of RNase E. (A) Schematic of RNase E NTD showing mutant D346C in the active site. The mutant is catalytically active in the presence of Mn++ but not any other metal as seen for processing of 9S and sRNA RprA (B,C, respectively). (D) An isothermal calorimetry titration curve for NTD.D346C interactions with Mn++. The KD is 17 µM for Mn++. The titration curve is representative of three independent experiments.
