摘要

RelE and related prokaryotic toxins have been implicated in the regulation of diverse cellular processes, including persistence. During nutrient stress, RelE cleaves A-site mRNA, leading to a global inhibition of translation. Highly conserved RelE residues- Lys52, Lys54, Arg61, Arg81, and Tyr87- surround the mRNA scissile phosphate and ribosomal contacts further contribute to substrate positioning, but the active-site composition lacks obvious candidates for general acid-base catalysis. We used a single-turnover kinetic assay to evaluate the catalytic importance of individual residues in the RelE active-site. RelE rapidly and selectively cleaves ribosomal A-site mRNA at a rate similar to traditional ribonucleases. The mutant rate effects for residues Arg61 and Arg81 are consistent with the catalytic roles proposed for each arginine in charge stabilization and leaving group protonation. Mutation of either lysine decreased catalysis 103-fold. On the basis of structural proximity, Lys52 may be responsible for proton abstraction at the 2'-hydroxyl, with Lys54 contributing to phosphate charge stabilization. In the absence of a robust general base, RelE may principally promote catalysis via transition state charge stabilization and leaving group protonation, in addition to achieving in-line substrate positioning in cooperation with the ribosome. This kinetic analysis complements structural information to provide a foundation for understanding the molecular mechanism of a novel endoribonuclease involved in prokaryotic regulation.
