Mutational analysis of the RNA triphosphatase component of vaccinia virus mRNA capping enzyme

Abstract: Vaccinia virus mRNA capping enzyme is a multifunctional protein with RNA triphosphatase, RNA guanylyltransferase, and RNA (guanine-7-) methyltransferase activities. The enzyme is a heterodimer of 95-and 33-kDa subunits encoded by the vaccinia virus D1 and D12 genes, respectively. The N-terminal 60-kDa of the D1 subunit (from residues 1 to 545) is an autonomous domain which catalyzes the triphosphatase and guanylyltransferase reactions. Mutations in the D1 subunit that specifically inactivate the guanylyltransf… Show more

“…The D1 subunit contains triphosphatase and guanylyltransferase activities in the N-terminal domain, and a cap0 methyltransferase domain that forms a heterodimer with the D12 subunit. 28,29 The methyltransferase active site is located entirely in the D1 subunit and has a weak cap0 modification activity that is stimulated allosterically by D12. [30][31][32] Interestingly, the D12 structure resembles a degenerate cap 2 0 -O-ribose methyltransferase domain (see below), but it lacks a proper SAM binding site and does not show any methyltransferase activity on its own.…”

“…Catalytic domains are organized in a modular fashion. The amino-terminal 545-amino-acid segment of the 844-amino-acid D1 subunit catalyzes the triphosphatase and guanylyltransferase reactions (9,16,29,34). The methyltransferase reaction is catalyzed by a distinct, nonoverlapping domain consisting of the carboxyl portion of the D1 subunit heterodimerized with the D12 protein (1,10,13).…”

“…Vaccinia virus capping enzyme hydrolyzes the ␥-phosphate of triphosphate-terminated RNA and the ␥-phosphate of nucleoside triphosphates (NTPs) (31,33). Both reactions occur at a single active site, which is distinct from the active site of the guanylyltransferase (17,34). The triphosphatase active site includes essential constituents located within the N-terminal half of the D1(1-545) protein.…”
