RNA substrate specificity and structure-guided mutational analysis of bacteriophage T4 RNA ligase 2.
Here we report that bacteriophage T4 RNA ligase 2 (Rnl2) is an efficient catalyst of RNA ligation at a 3'-OH/5'-PO(4) nick in a double-stranded RNA or an RNA.DNA hybrid. The critical role of the template strand in approximating the reactive 3'-OH and 5'-PO(4) termini is underscored by the drastic reductions in the RNA-sealing activity of Rnl2 when the duplex substrates contain gaps or flaps ins...
متن کاملo-Succinylbenzoate: coenzyme A ligase, an enzyme involved in menaquinone (vitamin K2) biosynthesis, displays broad specificity.
o-Succinylbenzoate: coenzyme A ligase, an enzyme involved in menaquinone biosynthesis, was purified from Mycobacterium phlei and characterized with respect to isoelectric point, molecular weight, pH optimum, temperature optimum and kinetic data. The enzyme hydrolyses ATP to AMP. The substrate and cofactor specificity of the enzyme was tested with analogues of o-succinylbenzoic acid, different n...
متن کاملmRNA-decapping enzyme from Saccharomyces cerevisiae: purification and unique specificity for long RNA chains.
An enzyme that hydrolyzes one PPi bond of the cap structure of mRNA, yielding m7GDP and 5'-p RNA was purified from Saccharomyces cerevisiae to a stage suitable for characterization. The specificity of the enzyme was studied, using both yeast mRNA and synthetic RNAs labeled in the cap structure. A synthetic capped RNA (540 nucleotides) was not reduced in size, while as much as 80% was decapped. ...
متن کاملT4 RNA ligase catalyzes the synthesis of dinucleoside polyphosphates.
T4 RNA ligase has been shown to synthesize nucleoside and dinucleoside 5'-polyphosphates by displacement of the AMP from the E-AMP complex with polyphosphates and nucleoside diphosphates and triphosphates. Displacement of the AMP by tripolyphosphate (P3) was concentration dependent, as measured by SDS/PAGE. When the enzyme was incubated in the presence of 0.02 mm [alpha-32P] ATP, synthesis of l...
متن کاملEnzymatic Synthesis of RNAs Capped with Nucleotide Analogues Reveals the Molecular Basis for Substrate Selectivity of RNA Capping Enzyme: Impacts on RNA Metabolism
RNA cap binding proteins have evolved to specifically bind to the N7-methyl guanosine cap structure found at the 5' ends of eukaryotic mRNAs. The specificity of RNA capping enzymes towards GTP for the synthesis of this structure is therefore crucial for mRNA metabolism. The fact that ribavirin triphosphate was described as a substrate of a viral RNA capping enzyme, raised the possibility that R...
