Transition State Stabilization by a Catalytic RNA
Overview
The hairpin ribozyme catalyzes sequence-specific cleavage of RNA through, transesterification of the scissile phosphate. Vanadate has previously, been used as a transition state mimic of protein enzymes that catalyze the, same reaction. Comparison of the 2.2 angstrom resolution structure of a, vanadate-hairpin ribozyme complex with structures of precursor and product, complexes reveals a rigid active site that makes more hydrogen bonds to, the transition state than to the precursor or product. Because of the, paucity of RNA functional groups capable of general acid-base or, electrostatic catalysis, transition state stabilization is likely to be an, important catalytic strategy for ribozymes.
