Ribonuclease P Catalysis Differs from Ribosomal RNA Self-Splicing Journal Article uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • ; Two RNA-catalyzed reactions have been described, the; Tetrahymena; self-splicing ribosomal RNA and ribonuclease P. The; Tetrahymena; self-splicing reaction proceeds through a transesterification cascade that is dependent upon nucleophilic attacks by ribose 3′-OH groups. Periodate oxidation of the catalytic (or substrate) RNA, which destroys the nucleophilicity of RNA 3′ termini, did not inhibit ribonuclease P activity. Thus, catalysis by ribonuclease P differs from the self-splicing reaction.;
