The RNA lariat debranching enzyme, Dbr1, is a metallophosphoesterase that cleaves 2′-5′ phosphodiester bonds within intronic lariats. Previous reports have indicated that Dbr1 enzymatic activity is supported by diverse metal ions including Ni2+, Mn2+, Mg2+, Fe2+, and Zn2+. While in initial structures of the Entamoeba histolytica Dbr1 only one of the two catalytic metal-binding sites were observed to be occupied (with a Mn2+ ion), recent structures determined a Zn2+/Fe2+ heterobinucleation. We solved a high-resolution X-ray crystal structure (1.8 Å) of the E. histolytica Dbr1 and determined a Zn2+/Mn2+ occupancy. ICP- AES corroborate this finding, and in vitro debranching assays with fluorescently labeled branched substrates confirm activity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
