EC 6.5.1.3     
Accepted name: RNA ligase (ATP)
Reaction: ATP + (ribonucleotide)n-3′-hydroxyl + 5′-phospho-(ribonucleotide)m = (ribonucleotide)n+m + AMP + diphosphate (overall reaction)
(1a) ATP + [RNA ligase]-L-lysine = [RNA ligase]-N6-(5′-adenylyl)-L-lysine + diphosphate
(1b) [RNA ligase]-N6-(5′-adenylyl)-L-lysine + 5′-phospho-(ribonucleotide)m = 5′-(5′-diphosphoadenosine)-(ribonucleotide)m + [RNA ligase]-L-lysine
(1c) (ribonucleotide)n-3′-hydroxyl + 5′-(5′-diphosphoadenosine)-(ribonucleotide)m = (ribonucleotide)n+m + AMP
Other name(s): polyribonucleotide synthase (ATP); RNA ligase; polyribonucleotide ligase; ribonucleic ligase; poly(ribonucleotide):poly(ribonucleotide) ligase (AMP-forming)
Systematic name: poly(ribonucleotide)-3′-hydroxyl:5′-phospho-poly(ribonucleotide) ligase (ATP)
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.
