Ribozymes

10.0K
The term ribozyme is used for RNA that can act as an enzyme. Ribozymes are mainly found in selected viruses, bacteria, plant organelles, and lower eukaryotes. Ribozymes were first discovered in 1982 when Tom Cech’s laboratory observed Group I introns acting as enzymes. This was shortly followed by the discovery of another ribozyme, Ribonulcease P, by Sid Altman’s laboratory. Both Cech and Altman received the Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1989 for their work on ribozymes.

Overview
Three main types of RNA are involved in protein synthesis: messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), and ribosomal RNA (rRNA). These RNAs perform diverse functions and can be broadly classified as protein-coding or non-coding RNA. Non-coding RNAs play important roles in the regulation of gene expression in response to developmental and environmental changes. Non-coding RNAs in prokaryotes can be manipulated to develop more effective antibacterial drugs for human or animal use.

Area of Science:

  • Plant reproductive biology
  • Enzymology
  • Molecular biology

Background:

  • Ribonuclease (RNase) plays a role in plant reproductive processes.
  • Understanding RNase activity in pistils is crucial for reproductive success.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the localization and characteristics of Ribonuclease (RNase) activity within pistil tissues.
  • To determine the optimal conditions for stylar RNase activity and explore its inhibition.

Main Methods:

  • Comparing RNase activity in different stylar tissues (conducting vs. open).
  • Assessing the effect of pollination on RNase activity.
  • Determining temperature and pH optima for stylar RNase.
  • Purifying RNase from Petunia styles.
  • Using RNase inhibitors like DEP for polysome isolation.

Main Results:

  • RNase activity is approximately 20-fold higher in conducting tissues compared to open styles.
  • Activity is localized within or between cells of the conducting tissue and unaffected by pollination.
  • Stylar RNase exhibits optimal activity at 45°C and pH 6.5.
  • Purification revealed 2-3 active RNase fractions.
  • 10 μg/ml DEP effectively inhibits RNase, aiding polysome isolation.

Conclusions:

  • Stylar RNase is predominantly found in conducting tissues and is characterized by specific temperature and pH optima.
  • RNase activity is independent of pollination status.
  • DEP is a valuable tool for studying stylar RNase and isolating polysomes.
