The smallest ribozyme is UUU, which can promote the cleavage between G and A of the GAAA tetranucleotide via the first mechanism in the presence of Mn 2+. The reason why this trinucleotide (rather than the complementary tetramer) catalyzes this reaction may be because the UUU-AAA pairing is the weakest and most flexible trinucleotide among the ...
The hammerhead ribozyme-catalyzed reaction, unlike the formally identical non-enzymatic alkaline cleavage of RNA, is a highly sequence-specific cleavage reaction with a typical turnover rate of approximately 1 molecule of substrate per molecule of enzyme per minute at pH 7.5 in 10 mM Mg 2+ (so-called “standard reaction conditions” for the ...
The Beta-globin co-transcriptional cleavage ribozyme (CotC ribozyme) was proposed to be an RNA enzyme known as a ribozyme. Transcription termination of RNA polymerase II transcripts is proposed to occur by a two-stage process. [1] The first stage involves pre-termination cleavage (PTC) of the nascent transcript downstream of the poly(A) site ...
The hairpin ribozyme is a small section of RNA that can act as a ribozyme. Like the hammerhead ribozyme it is found in RNA satellites of plant viruses. It was first identified in the minus strand of the tobacco ringspot virus (TRSV) satellite RNA where it catalyzes self-cleavage and joining ( ligation ) reactions to process the products of ...
The twister ribozyme [1] is a catalytic RNA structure capable of self-cleavage.The nucleolytic activity of this ribozyme has been demonstrated both in vivo and in vitro and has one of the fastest catalytic rates of naturally occurring ribozymes with similar function.
The pistol ribozyme is an RNA structure that catalyzes its own cleavage at a specific site. In other words, it is a self-cleaving ribozyme. The pistol ribozyme was discovered through comparative genomic analysis. [1] Subsequent biochemical analysis determined further biochemical characteristics of the ribozyme. [2]

Nucleolytic ribozymes like the Hatchet Ribozyme adopt an SN2-like mechanism that results in site-specific phosphodiester bond cleavage. An activated 2 ′-OH of the ribose 5 ′ to the scissile phosphate adopts an in-line alignment to target the adjacent to-be-cleaved P-O5 ′ phosphodiester bond, resulting in formation of 2 ′,3 ′-cyclic phosphate and 5 ′-OH groups.
