Structure and Mechanism of RNA Ligase
Overview
T4 RNA ligase 2 (Rnl2) exemplifies an RNA ligase family that includes the, RNA editing ligases (RELs) of Trypanosoma and Leishmania. The Rnl2/REL, enzymes are defined by essential signature residues and a unique, C-terminal domain, which we show is essential for sealing of 3'-OH and, 5'-PO4 RNA ends by Rnl2, but not for ligase adenylation or phosphodiester, bond formation at a preadenylated AppRNA end. The N-terminal segment, Rnl2(1-249) of the 334 aa Rnl2 protein comprises an autonomous, adenylyltransferase/AppRNA ligase domain. We report the 1.9 A crystal, structure of the ligase domain with AMP bound at the active site, which, reveals a shared fold, catalytic mechanism, and evolutionary history for, RNA ligases, DNA ligases, and mRNA capping enzymes.
