IUBMB Comments

The enzyme catalyses the ligation of RNA strands with 3′-hydroxyl and 5′-phosphate termini, forming a phosphodiester and sealing certain types of single-strand breaks in RNA. Catalysis occurs by a three-step mechanism, starting with the activation of the enzyme by ATP, forming a phosphoramide bond between adenylate and a lysine residue. The adenylate group is then transferred to the 5′-phosphate terminus of the substrate, forming the capped structure 5′-(5′-diphosphoadenosine)-[RNA]. Finally, the enzyme catalyses a nucleophilic attack of the 3′-OH terminus on the capped terminus, which results in formation of the phosphodiester bond and release of the adenylate.
