The results of genotoxicity testing of microbial ribonucleases from Bacillus species with different catalytic activity obtained by site-directed mutagenesis in SOS chromotest are reported. At the concentrations 0.1-1 mg/ml, the induction factor for wild-type bacillar binase, barnase and mutant Arg(58)Lys binase with 100% activity was found to be significantly higher than 1.5 (1.8-2.8). Mutant RNases having decreased catalytic activity (binases with replacements Lys(26)Ala, Arg(61)Gln, His(101)Glu) or through natural inhibitor barstar inactivated wild-type RNase exhibited no SOS-inducing potency. The ability of native bacillar RNases and mutant enzymes possessing high catalytic activity comparable with the activity of wild-type RNase to cause the SOS response indicates that genotoxicity is mediated through the probable cleavage of cellular RNA.The possible mechanisms of mutagenesis induced by catalytically active RNases are discussed.
