Features
Gel electrophoresis showing replication by HCV RdRP of a number of potential RNA promoters. The bands show the amount of replicated product and its approximate length, and quantify the tendency to produce strands of wrong size. B2 (lane 7) is extremely efficient in directing replication of the full template and produces very little products with an incorrect size.
Ribozyme
The use of a ribozyme is necessitated due to the complicated binding process between the RNA template and the RdRP. In order to optimise the process and avoid any risk of unfavourable secondary structures or obstruction by unneeded nucleotides, a self-cleaving ribozyme was put after the RNA promoter. The rationale being that after transctiption (either in vitro for human cell tests or in vivo for e-coli tests), any added bases as a result of the T7 polymerase would be removed from the main template strand.
The chosen ribozyme taken from the Hepatitis Delta virus was investigated at length by the team of J. Doudna and is reported to be the fastest naturally occurring self-cleaving protein. It also functions independently, without the need for adding chemical substances, and is resistant to denaturants. Its close genetic origin to the RdRP also contributes to a better working and more compatible system.
The structure of the molecule and its active site in particular are shown below.
