摘要
Synthetic metallonucleases are versatile metal ion catalysts that use multiple catalytic strategies for the cleavage of RNA. Recent work in the design of more active metallonucleases combines a single metal ion with functional groups that interact with RNA, including amino acid fragments or additional metal ions. Rate enhancements by multifunctional catalysts for cleavage of simple model substrates with good leaving groups are as high as 106 but somewhat lower (105) for real RNA. However, cleavage of RNA substrates is complicated by different binding modes and steric interactions that can interfere with catalysis. Antisense oligonucleotides, peptides and small molecules that act as RNA recognition agents increase the strength of substrate binding, but not necessarily the catalytic rate constant. In general, catalytic strategies used by synthetic metallonucleases are probably not optimized. A better grasp of the mechanism of RNA cleavage by metal ions and more effort on positioning the metal ion complex with respect to the cleavage site may lead to improved catalysts.
