Abstract

Kinetic parameters of cleavage of CpA and UpA sites in an oligoribonucleotide under the action of artificial ribonuclease ABL3C1 were measured. The compounds were built of RNA-binding domain B, catalytic fragment C, linker L3 comprising 3 methylene groups, and aliphatic fragment A. The rate of cleavage of phosphodiester bonds in the CpA site within decaribonucleotide UUCAUGUAAA was shown to be 3.4 ± 0.2 times higher than in UpA. The rate of cleavage of phosphodiester bonds was found to depend on substrate length: a thousandfold increase in cleavage rate constant was observed for the CpA site in decaribonucleotide as compared with diribonucleoside monophosphate CpA. A slight decrease in the cleavage rates was observed for the reactions proceeding in different buffers at pH 7.0: imidazole > HEPES > phosphate > cacodylate. At the same time, the ratio of cleavage rates for CpA and UpA sites remained constant.
