The hepatitis delta virus (HDV) ribozyme is a non-coding RNA found in the hepatitis delta virus that is necessary for viral replication and is the only known human virus that utilizes ribozyme activity to infect its host. [1] The ribozyme acts to process the RNA transcripts to unit lengths in a self-cleavage reaction during replication of the hepatitis delta virus, which is thought to propagate by a double rolling circle mechanism. [2] [3] The ribozyme is active in vivo in the absence of any protein factors and was the fastest known naturally occurring self-cleaving RNA at the time of its discovery. [4]

Contents

The crystal structure of this ribozyme has been solved using X-ray crystallography and shows five helical segments connected by a double pseudoknot. [1]

In addition to the sense (genomic version), all HDV viruses also have an antigenomic version of the HDV ribozyme. [5] This version is not the exact complementary sequence but adopts the same structure as the sense (genomic) strand. The only "significant" differences between the two are a small bulge in P4 stem and a shorter J4/2 junction. Both the genomic and antigenomic ribozymes are necessary for replication. [2]

HDV-like ribozymes

The HDV ribozyme is structurally and biochemically related to many other self-cleaving ribozymes. These other ribozymes are often referred to as examples of HDV ribozymes, because of these similarities, even though they are not found in hepatitis delta viruses. They can also be referred to as "HDV-like" to indicate this fact. [6]

HDV-like ribozymes include the mammalian CPEB3 ribozyme, retrotransposons members (e.g. in the R2 RNA element in insects and in the L1Tc and probably other retrotransposons in trypanosomatids) and sequences from bacteria. [7] [8] [6] [9] [10] The grouping is probably a result of convergent evolution: Deltavirus found outside of humans also possess a DV ribozyme, and no horizontal gene transfer scenarios proposed can yet explain this. [11] [12] [13]

Mechanism of catalysis

The HDV ribozyme catalyzes cleavage of the phosphodiester bond between the substrate nucleotide or oligonucleotide and the 5′-hydroxyl of the ribozyme. In the hepatitis delta virus, this substrate nucleotide sequence begins with uridine and is known as U(-1), however, the identity of the -1 nucleotide does not significantly change the rate of catalysis. [1] There is only a requirement for its chemical nature, since as shown by Perrotta and Been, substitution of the U(-1) ribose with deoxyribose abolishes the reaction, which is consistent with the prediction that the 2′-hydroxyl is the nucleophile in the chemical reaction. [14] Hence, unlike many other ribozymes, such as the hammerhead ribozyme, the HDV ribozyme has no upstream requirements for catalysis and requires only a single -1 ribonucleotide as a substrate to efficiently react. [1]

Initially, it was believed that the 75th nucleotide in the ribozyme, a cytosine known as C75, was able to act as a general base with the N3 of C75 abstracting a proton from the 2′-hydroxyl of the U(-1) nucleotide to facilitate nucleophilic attack on the phosphodiester bond. [1] However, although it is well established that the N3 of C75 has a pKa perturbed from its normal value of 4.45 and is closer to about 6.15 or 6.40, [15] [16] it is not neutral enough to act as a general base catalyst. Instead, the N3 of C75 is believed to act as a Lewis acid to stabilize the leaving 5′-hydroxyl of the ribozyme; this is supported by its proximity to the 5′-hydroxyl in the crystal structure. [1] [17] Substitution of the C75 nucleotide with any other nucleotide abolishes or substantially impairs ribozyme activity, although this activity can be partially restored with imidazole, further implicating C75 in catalytic activity. [18]

The C75 in the HDV ribozyme has been the subject of several studies because of its peculiar pKa. The typical pKa values for the free nucleosides are around 3.5 to 4.2; these lower pKa values are acidic and it is unlikely that they would become basic. However, it is likely that the structural environment within the ribozyme, which includes a desolvated active site cleft, provides negative electrostatic potential that could perturb the pKa of cytosine enough to act as a Lewis acid. [19] [20] [21] [22]

In addition to Lewis acid stabilization of the 5′-hydroxyl leaving group, it is also now accepted that the HDV ribozyme can use a metal ion to assist in activation of the 2′-hydroxyl for attack on the U(-1) nucleotide. A magnesium ion in the active site of the ribozyme is coordinated to the 2’-hydroxyl nucleophile and an oxygen of the scissile phosphate, and may act as a Lewis acid to activate the 2′-hydroxyl. [18] [17] In addition, it is possible that the phosphate of U23 can act as a Lewis acid to accept a proton from the 2′-hydroxyl with the magnesium serving as a coordinating ion. [23] Because the HDV ribozyme does not require metal ions to have activity, it is not an obligate metalloenzyme, but the presence of magnesium in the active site significantly improves the cleavage reaction. The HDV ribozyme does seem to have a nonspecific requirement for low amounts of divalent cations to fold, being active in Mg2+, Ca2+, Mn2+, and Sr2+. [1] In the absence of metal ions, it seems likely that water can replace the role of magnesium as a Lewis acid.

Regulation by upstream RNA

As limited by the rapid self-cleaving nature of HDV ribozyme, the previous ribonuclease experiments were performed on the 3′ product of self-cleavage rather than the precursor. [24] However, flanking sequence is known to participate in regulating the self-cleavage activity of HDV ribozyme. [25] [26] [27] Therefore, the upstream sequence 5′ to the self-cleavage site has been incorporated to study the resultant self-cleavage activity of the HDV ribozyme. [25] Two alternative structures have been identified.

The first inhibitory structure is folded by an extended transcript (i.e. -30/99 transcript, coordinates are referenced against the self-cleavage site) spanning from 30 nt upstream of the cleavage site to 15 nt downstream of the 3′-end. [25] The flanking sequence sequesters the ribozyme in a kinetic trap during transcription and results in the extremely diminished self-cleavage rate. [25] This self-cleavage-preventing structure includes 3 alternative stems: Alt1, Alt2 and Alt3, which disrupt the active conformation. Alt1 is a 10-bp Long-Range-Interaction formed by an inhibitory upstream stretch (-25/-15 nt) and the downstream stretch (76/86 nt). [25] The Alt1 disrupts the stem P2 in the active conformation wherein P2 is proposed to have an activating role for both genomic and antigenomic ribozyme. [25] [28] [29] Alt2 is an interaction between upstream flanking sequence and the ribozyme, and Alt3 is a nonnative ribozyme-ribozyme interaction. [25]

The secondary structure of this inhibitory conformation is supported by various experimental approaches. [25] First, direct probing via ribonucleases was performed and the subsequent modeling via mfold 3.0 using constraints from the probing results agrees with the proposed structure. [25] Second, a series of DNA oligomer complementary to different regions of AS1/2 were used to rescue the ribozyme activity; the results confirms the inhibitory roles of AS1/2. [25] Third, mutational analysis introduces single/double mutations outside the ribozyme to ensure the observed ribozyme activity is directly associated with the stability of the Alt1. [25] The stability of AS1 is found to be inversely related to the self-cleavage activity. [25]

The second permissive structure enables the HDV ribozyme to self-cleave co-transcriptionally and this structure further includes the -54/-18 nt portion of the RNA transcript. [25] The upstream inhibitory -24/-15 stretch from the aforementioned inhibitory conformation is now sequestered in a hairpin P(-1) located upstream of the cleavage site. [25] [30] [31] The P(-1) motif, however, is only found in the genomic sequence, which may be correlated with the phenomenon that genomic HDV RNA copies are more abundant in the infected liver cells. [25] [5] Experimental evidence also supports this alternative structure. First, structural mapping via ribonuclease is used to probe the -54/-1 fragment instead of the whole precursor transcript due to the fast-cleaving nature of this structure, which agrees with the local hairpin P(-1) (between -54/-40 and -18/-30 nt). [25] Secondly, evolutionary conservation is found in P(-1) and the linking region between P(-1) and P1 among 21 genomic HDV RNA isolates. [25]

Use in RNA transcript preparation

The special properties of the HDV ribozyme's cleavage reaction make it a useful tool to prepare RNA transcripts with homogenous 3′ ends, an alternative to transcription of RNA with T7 RNA polymerase than can often produce heterogenous ends or undesired additions. The cDNA version of the ribozyme may be prepared adjacent to cDNA of the target RNA sequence and RNA prepared from transcription with T7 RNA polymerase. The ribozyme sequence will efficiently cleave itself with no downstream requirements, as the -1 nucleotide is invariant, leaving a 2′–3′ cyclic phosphate that can easily be removed by treatment with a phosphatase or T4 polynucleotide kinase. [32] The target RNA can then be purified with gel purification.

The hammerhead ribozyme is an RNA motif that catalyzes reversible cleavage and ligation reactions at a specific site within an RNA molecule. It is one of several catalytic RNAs (ribozymes) known to occur in nature. It serves as a model system for research on the structure and properties of RNA, and is used for targeted RNA cleavage experiments, some with proposed therapeutic applications. Named for the resemblance of early secondary structure diagrams to a hammerhead shark, hammerhead ribozymes were originally discovered in two classes of plant virus-like RNAs: satellite RNAs and viroids. They are also known in some classes of retrotransposons, including the retrozymes. The hammerhead ribozyme motif has been ubiquitously reported in lineages across the tree of life.

The hairpin ribozyme is a small section of RNA that can act as a ribozyme. Like the hammerhead ribozyme it is found in RNA satellites of plant viruses. It was first identified in the minus strand of the tobacco ringspot virus (TRSV) satellite RNA where it catalyzes self-cleavage and joining (ligation) reactions to process the products of rolling circle virus replication into linear and circular satellite RNA molecules. The hairpin ribozyme is similar to the hammerhead ribozyme in that it does not require a metal ion for the reaction.

Leadzyme is a small ribozyme (catalytic RNA), which catalyzes the cleavage of a specific phosphodiester bond.

However, since then, it has been discovered in several natural systems. Leadzyme was found to be efficient and dynamic in the presence of micromolar concentrations of lead ions. Unlike in other small self-cleaving ribozymes, other divalent metal ions cannot replace Pb2+ in the leadzyme. Due to obligatory requirement for a lead, the ribozyme is called a metalloribozyme.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">RNA hydrolysis</span>

RNA hydrolysis is a reaction in which a phosphodiester bond in the sugar-phosphate backbone of RNA is broken, cleaving the RNA molecule. RNA is susceptible to this base-catalyzed hydrolysis because the ribose sugar in RNA has a hydroxyl group at the 2’ position. This feature makes RNA chemically unstable compared to DNA, which does not have this 2’ -OH group and thus is not susceptible to base-catalyzed hydrolysis.

<i>Ribozyviria</i> Realm of viruses

Ribozyviria is a realm of satellite nucleic acids. Established in ICTV TaxoProp 2020.012D, the realm is named after the presence of genomic and antigenomic ribozymes of the Deltavirus type. Additional common features include a rod-like structure, a RNA-binding "delta antigen" encoded in the genome, and animal hosts. Furthermore, the size range of the genomes of these viruses is between around 1547–1735nt, they encode a hammerhead ribozyme or a hepatitis delta virus ribozyme, and their coding capacity only involves one conserved protein. Most lineages of this realm are poorly understood, the notable exception being members of the genus Deltavirus, the causal agents of Hepatitis D in humans.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Hovlinc</span>

Hovlinc RNA is a self-cleaving ribozyme of about 168 nucleotides found in a very long noncoding RNA (vlincRNA) in humans, chimpanzees, and gorillas. The word "hovlinc" comes from "hominin vlincRNA-located" RNA. Hovlinc is only a fourth known case of a ribozyme in human. Self-cleavage activity of Hovlinc has been shown in human, chimpanzees and bonobos, but is absent in gorillas, raising questions about Hovlinc's biological function and evolution.

Retrozymes are a family of retrotransposons first discovered in the genomes of plants but now also known in genomes of animals. Retrozymes contain a hammerhead ribozyme (HHR) in their sequences, although they do not possess any coding regions. Retrozymes are nonautonomous retroelements, and so borrow proteins from other elements to move into new regions of a genome. Retrozymes are actively transcribed into covalently closed circular RNAs and are detected in both polarities, which may indicate the use of rolling circle replication in their lifecycle.
