Tri-partite assay for studying exon ligation by the ai5gamma group II intron.

Abstract:

:Group II introns self-splice via a two-step mechanism: cleavage at the 5' splice site followed by exon ligation at the 3' splice site. The second step has been difficult to study in vitro because it is generally faster than the first. Herein we describe development and partial kinetic characterization of a novel assay for studying the second step in isolation. In this system, a truncated linear intron (nucleotides 1-881) mediates exon ligation between two oligonucleotide substrates: a 19 nt 5' exon and a 3' substrate consisting of the last 6 nucleotides of the intron plus a 6 nucleotide 3' exon. We found that neither the exact structure of domain 6 nor the identity of nucleotides flanking the 3' splice site is critical for accurate 3' splice site choice by the ai5gamma group II intron. The multiple turnover k(cat) (0.14 min(-)(1)) is slower than the single turnover k(obs) (0.6-0.7 min(-)(1)), consistent with rate-limiting product release under steady-state conditions. Decreased single turnover rates at lower pHs were more consistent with loss of catalytic activity than with rate-limiting chemistry. Binding of the 3' substrate (K(m) = 2.6 microM) could be improved by changing a long-range A:U base pair involving the last intronic nucleotide (the gamma-gamma' interaction) to G:C (K(m(3)(')(substrate)) = 1 microM).
