摘要

In the hypothetical RNA world divalent Mg2+ ions were exploited for cleavage (or ligation) ofribonucleic acids. Although some Mg2+ ions are involved in forming the tertiary structures ofRNAs, the key Mg2+ ions are directly involved in catalysis not only in the case of hammerhead ribozymes but also in the case of Tetrahymena and, possibly, other types of ribozyme. RNAcomponents bind the indispensable Mg2+ ions to the phosphodiester bonds that are being broken (or formed). Our analysis indicates that the chemical cleavage step of reactions catalyzed by the hammerhead ribozyme does not appear to have been perfected and, thus, it seems possible to create RNA-cleaving agents that are significantly more active than the standard hammerhead ribozyme. Moreover, RNA-cleaving mechanisms might converge as one unique and universal mechanism, exploited not only by various kinds of ribozyme but also by artificially created metal-ion-dependent DNAzymes and other RNA-cleaving agents that are yet to be identified.
