Substrate Specificity of d Ribozyme Cleavage
The specificity of d ribozyme cleavage was investigated using a trans-acting antigenomic d ribozyme. Under single turnover conditions, the wild type ribozyme cleaved the 11-mer ribonucleotide substrate with a rate constant of 0.34 min, an apparent Km of 17.9 nM and an apparent second-order rate constant of 1.89 3 10 min M. The substrate specificity of the d ribozyme was thoroughly investigated ...
متن کاملSpecificity of hammerhead ribozyme cleavage.
To be effective in gene inactivation, the hammerhead ribozyme must cleave a complementary RNA target without deleterious effects from cleaving non-target RNAs that contain mismatches and shorter stretches of complementarity. The specificity of hammerhead cleavage was evaluated using HH16, a well-characterized ribozyme designed to cleave a target of 17 residues. Under standard reaction condition...
متن کاملSubstrate specificity and reaction kinetics of an X-motif ribozyme.
The X-motif is an in vitro-selected ribozyme that catalyzes RNA cleavage by an internal phosphoester transfer reaction. This ribozyme class is distinguished by the fact that it emerged as the dominant clone among at least 12 different classes of ribozymes when in vitro selection was conducted to favor the isolation of high-speed catalysts. We have examined the structural and kinetic properties ...
متن کاملA two-metal ion mechanism operates in the hammerhead ribozyme-mediated cleavage of an RNA substrate.
Evidence for a two-metal ion mechanism for cleavage of the HH16 hammerhead ribozyme is provided by monitoring the rate of cleavage of the RNA substrate as a function of La3+ concentration in the presence of a constant concentration of Mg2+. We show that a bell-shaped curve of cleavage activation is obtained as La3+ is added in micromolar concentrations in the presence of 8 mM Mg2+, with a maxim...
متن کاملEffect of substrate RNA sequence on the cleavage reaction by a short ribozyme.
Leadzyme is a ribozyme that requires Pb2+. The catalytic sequence, CUGGGAGUCC, binds to an RNA substrate, GGACC downward arrowGAGCCAG, cleaving the RNA substrate at one site. We have investigated the effect of the substrate sequence on the cleavage activity of leadzyme using mutant substrates in order to structurally understand the RNA catalysis. The results showed that leadzyme acted as a cata...
