Phosphorolysis of RNA and ssDNA oligonucleotides by PNPase mutants in the RNA binding domains. [32P]-5'-end labeled RNA (RNA01; panel a) or ssDNA (DNA02; panel b) 20-mers, 4 nM each, were incubated at 26 °C with purified His-tagged PNPase or PNPase mutants in the RBDs (10 nM each) in buffer a with 10 μM Pi for the times indicated. The reaction products were fractionated by denaturing 6% PAGE. The oligonucleotide band intensities were evaluated by ImageQuant, normalized to the intensity of the 0 min sample, and plotted versus the time. Data from panels a and b are shown in panels c and d, respectively
