A pyrimidine base specific and most basic alkaline RNase named RNase BL4 was isolated from bovine liver as a protein showing a single band on slab gel-electrophoresis. The enzyme is most active at pH 7.5. The enzyme was immunologically distinguishable from the known bovine RNases such as pancreatic RNase (RNase A), seminal RNase, kidney non-secretory RNase (RNase K2), and brain RNase (RNase BRb). The primary structure of this pyrimidine base-specific RNase was determined to be less than GNDSYCNLMMQRRKMTSHQCKRFNTFIHEDLWNIRSICSTTNIQCKNGQMNCHEGVVRV- TDCRETGSSRAPNCRYRAKASTRRVVIACEGNPEVPVHFDK. It consists of 119 amino acid residues, and is 5 amino acid residues shorter than RNase A. The sequence homology of RNase BL4 with RNase A is 46.2%, and optimal alignment of RNase A and RNase BL4 requires five deletions, one at the 24th position, two at the 75th and 76th positions, and two at the C-terminus in RNase BL4. The RNase BL4 was highly homologous with a porcine liver RNase (RNase PL3, 94.1% homology) studied by Hofsteenge et al. (personal communication from Hofsteenge, J., Matthies, R., and Stones, S.R.).
