Nucleobase modification by an RNA enzyme #MMPMID28180302

Ribozymes can catalyze phosphoryl or nucleotidyl transfer onto ribose hydroxyls of RNA chains. We report a single ribozyme that performs both reactions, with a nucleobase serving as initial acceptor moiety. This unprecedented combined reaction was revealed while investigating potential contributions of ribose hydroxyls to catalysis by kinase ribozyme K28. For a 58nt, cis-acting form of K28, each nucleotide could be replaced with the corresponding 2?F analog without loss of activity, indicating that no particular 2?OH is specifically required. Reactivities of two-stranded K28 variants with oligodeoxynucleotide acceptor strands devoid of any 2?OH moieties implicate modification on an internal guanosine N-2, rather than a ribose hydroxyl. Product mass suggests formation of a GDP(S) adduct along with a second thiophosphorylation, implying that the ribozyme catalyzes both phosphoryl and nucleotidyl transfers. This is further supported by transfer of radiolabels into product from both ? and ? phosphates of donor molecules. Furthermore, periodate reactivity of the final product signifies acquisition of a ribose sugar with an intact 2?-3? vicinal diol. Neither nucleobase modification nor nucleotidyl transfer has previously been reported for a kinase ribozyme, making this a first-in-class ribozyme. Base-modifying ribozymes may have played important roles in early RNA world evolution by enhancing nucleic acid functions.
