Abstract

Abstract Ribonuclease A (RNase A) dimers have been recently found to be endowed with some of the special, i.e., non-catalytic biological activities of RNases, such as antitumor and aspermatogenic activities. These activities have been so far attributed to RNases which can escape the neutralizing action of the cytosolic RNase inhibitor (cRI). However, when the interactions of the two cytotoxic RNase A dimers with cRI were investigated in a quantitative fashion and at the molecular level, the dimers were found to bind cRI with high affinity and to form tight complexes. _ 2005 Federation of European Biochemical Societies.
