Abstract:The contribution of substrate binding to cooperative regulation in the rate process of ribozyme catalysis has been investigated using allosteric ribozymes. The high sensitivity to the substrate lengths is attributed to the catalytic core folding which proceeds due to the energetic contribution of the substrate binding. One role of the effector (FMN) is the promotion of the core folding through the stabilization of the aptamer domain. Another role is the inhibition of the cleavage chemistry by perturbing the intermediate state in the rate process. The total effects of these two types of kinetic regulation determine the substrate dependency of the cooperative interaction on the catalytic reaction. An adequate correlation between the type of regulation and the substrate binding is responsible for the cooperative interaction in the kinetic process.
