Ribonucleases are promising candidates for use in anticancer therapy. There are different ways to endow an RNase with antitumor properties. Targeting the enzyme to the cell nucleus is a potential approach. PE5 is a variant of HP-RNase that it’s cytotoxic because it contains a nuclear localization signal. It has been shown that this sequence allows its interaction with α-importin. An alternative strategy to endow an RNase with cytotoxic activity is its dimerization. An HP-RNase variant, PM8, which forms a dimer through domain swapping, was produced in solution. This variant dimerized through a two-steps mechanism of domain swapping. To prove his model several variants of PM8 were produced in which the side chains of residues involved were re...
