Comparison of the Structures and Mechanisms of the Pistol and Hammerhead Ribozymes [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the American Chemical Society, 2019
Comparison of the secondary and three-dimensional structures of the hammerhead and pistol ribozymes reveals many close similarities, so in this work we have asked if they are mechanistically identical.

The hammerhead ribozyme [PDF]

open access: possibleBiopolymers, 1999
The hammerhead ribozyme is an intriguing RNA molecule with the ability to serve as a catalyst to cleave sequence-specifically RNA molecules in an intermolecular reaction. Preferentially Mg(2+) is required for optimal activity by inducing the catalytically competent conformation and by possibly acting as an acid-base catalyst.

The hammerhead ribozyme

Biochemical Society Transactions, 2002
The hammerhead ribozyme is a small RNA motif consisting of three helices that intersect at a conserved core. When correctly folded, the hammerhead ribozyme stimulates nearly complete cleavage of the phosphodiester chain at a defined internal site to give 2′,3′-cyclic and 5′-hydroxy termini. The cleavage rate is approx.

Cytotoxic Hammerhead Ribozymes

Antisense and Nucleic Acid Drug Development, 1999
Small catalytic RNA molecules of the hammerhead ribozyme type were found to have cytotoxic effects unrelated to their intended activity. An expression library of ribozyme sequence variants was constructed in a recA-deficient strain of Escherichia coli such that individual library members differed in regions designed to form base pairs with human ...

Hammerhead ribozyme engineering

Current Opinion in Structural Biology, 1996
Of all the catalytic RNAs the hammerhead ribozyme is the most chemically modified and structurally studied. Such studies have resulted in improvements in the nuclease resistance of ribozymes, reductions in their size, and improvements in their catalytic efficiency.

An Allosteric Hammerhead Ribozyme

Nature Biotechnology, 1995
We have constructed an RNA molecule containing a hammerhead ribozyme that is under allosteric control. In the inactive state, the RNA enzyme is unable to cleave a suitable substrate. The formation of the active state of the ribozyme is triggered by a specific interaction with a DNA oligonucleotide effector that is complementary to a single-stranded ...

Allosteric Hammerhead Ribozyme TRAPs

Biochemistry, 2002
A new mode of allosteric regulation of nucleic acid enzymes is described and shown to operate effectively with hammerhead ribozymes. In the "TRAP" design (for targeted ribozyme-attenuated probe), a 3' terminal "attenuator" anneals to conserved bases in the catalytic core to form the "off" state of the ribozyme.
