Dissociative Transition State in Hepatitis Delta Virus Ribozyme Catalysis.
Journal of the American Chemical Society(2023)
摘要
Ribonucleases and small nucleolytic ribozymes are both able to catalyze RNA strand cleavage through 2'--transphosphorylation, provoking the question of whether protein and RNA enzymes facilitate mechanisms that pass through the same or distinct transition states. Here, we report the primary and secondary O kinetic isotope effects for hepatitis delta virus ribozyme catalysis that reveal a dissociative, metaphosphate-like transition state in stark contrast to the late, associative transition states observed for reactions catalyzed by specific base, Zn ions, or ribonuclease A. This new information provides evidence for a discrete ribozyme active site design that modulates the RNA cleavage pathway to pass through an altered transition state.
