ENZYME entry: EC 6.5.1.3

PURL: https://purl.expasy.org/enzyme/EC/6.5.1.3
Accepted Name
RNA ligase (ATP)
Alternative Name(s)
polyribonucleotide synthase (ATP)
ribonucleic ligase
Reaction catalysed
ATP + (ribonucleotide)n-3'-hydroxyl + 5'-phospho-(ribonucleotide)m = (ribonucleotide)n+m + AMP + diphosphate
Comment(s)
  • The enzyme catalyzes the ligation of RNA strands with 3'-hydroxyl and 5'-phosphate termini, forming a phosphodiester and sealing certain types of single-strand breaks in RNA.
  • Catalysis occurs by a three-step mechanism, starting with the activation of the enzyme by ATP, forming a phosphoramide bond between adenylate and a lysine residue.
  • The adenylate group is then transferred to the 5'-phosphate terminus of the substrate, forming the capped structure 5'-(5'-diphosphoadenosine)-[RNA].
  • Finally, the enzyme catalyzes a nucleophilic attack of the 3'-OH terminus on the capped terminus, which results in formation of the phosphodiester bond and release of the adenylate.
