A conserved double-stranded RNA-binding domain.

TL;DR: On the basis of the binding studies and computer analysis, a consensus sequence is derived that defines a 65- to 68-amino acid dsRNA-binding domain, the minimal region that binds ds RNA.

Ribonuclease activity and RNA binding of recombinant human Dicer.

TL;DR: Cl cloning and expression of the 218 kDa human Dicer are reported, and characterization of its ribonuclease activity and dsRNA‐binding properties are described, suggesting that ionic interactions are involved in ds RNA cleavage.

The release of enzymes by osmotic shock from Escherichia coli in exponential phase.

TL;DR: A number of degradative enzymes are specifically released from exponentially growing Escherichia coli by osmotic shock, which includes alkaline phosphatase, cyclic phosphodiesterase, 5'-nucleotidase, acid phosphat enzyme, and the ribonucleic acid-inhibited endonuclease that is active with deoxyribon nucleic acid.
