Outline• RNA transesterification
• Naturally occurring catalysts
• Catalytic functions
• Catalytic mechanisms
![Page 3: RNA catalysis](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050821/568160cc550346895dcffee6/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
RNA transesterification• Exchange one phosphate ester for another
• Free energy change is minimal (reversible)
![Page 4: RNA catalysis](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050821/568160cc550346895dcffee6/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
RNA transesterification• Nucleophile can be either the adjacent 2´ hydroxyl or
another ester
• Referred to as hydrolysis when water serves as the nucleophile
![Page 5: RNA catalysis](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050821/568160cc550346895dcffee6/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
RNA transesterification• Nucleophilic attack on the phosphorus center leads to a
penta-coordinate intermediate
• Ester opposite from the nucleophile serves as the leaving group (in-line attack)

Small self-cleaving ribozymes• Hammerhead, hairpin, VS, HDV ribozymes
• Derivative of viral, viroid, or satellite RNAs
• Involved in RNA processing during rolling circle replication
• RNA transesterification via 2´ hydroxyl

Hammerhead ribozyme• In nature is self-
cleaving (not a true enzyme)
• Can be manipulated to function as a true catalyst
• Biotechnological and potential therapeutic applications for target RNA cleavage

Hammerhead ribozyme• Separation of catalytic and substrate strands
• Strand with hairpin is the enzyme
• Single strand is substrate
• KM = 40nM; kcat = ~1 min-1;kcat/KM = ~107 M -1 min -1 (catalytic efficiency)
• Compare to protein enzymes?

Hairpin ribozyme• In nature is part of a four-stem junction
• Ribozyme consists of two stems with internal loops
• Stems align side-by-side with 180 degree bend in the junction (hence ‘hairpin’)
• Internal loops interact to form active site
![Page 15: RNA catalysis](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050821/568160cc550346895dcffee6/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Hairpin ribozyme
• Crystal structure reveals interactions between stems
• Nucleobases position and activate sessile phosphodiester linkage
• Combination of transition state stabilization and acid-base catalysis?

Group II introns
• Usually found in organelles (e.g. plant chloroplasts, mitochondria)
• mechanism proceeds through a branched lariat intermediate structure which is produced by the attack of a 2’-OH of an internal A on the phosphodiester of the 5’-splice site
• proteins thought to stabilize structure but not necessary for catalysis
• no ATP or exogenous G needed
