In eukaryotic cells, intron lariats produced by the spliceosome contain a 2'5' phosphodiester linkage. The RNA lariat debranching enzyme, Dbr1, is the only enzyme known to hydrolyze this bond. Dbr1 is a member of the metallophosphoesterase (MPE) family of enzymes, and recent X-ray crystal structures and biochemistry data demonstrate that Dbr1 from Entamoeba histolytica uses combinations of Mn2+, Zn2+, and Fe2+ as enzymatic cofactors. Here, we examine the kinetic properties and metal dependence of the Dbr1 homolog from Saccharomyces cerevisiae (yDbr1). Elemental analysis measured stoichiometric quantities of Fe and Zn in yDbr1 purified following heterologous expression E. coli We analyzed the ability of Fe2+, Zn2+, and Mn2+ to reconstitute activity in metal-free apoenzyme. Purified yDbr1 was highly active, turning over substrate at 5.6 sec-1, and apo-yDbr1 reconstituted with Fe2+ was the most active species, turning over at 9.2 sec-1 We treated human lymphoblastoid cells with the iron-chelator deferoxamine and measured a twofold increase in cellular lariats. These data suggest that Fe is an important biological cofactor for Dbr1 enzymes.

D008670 Metals Electropositive chemical elements characterized by ductility, malleability, luster, and conductance of heat and electricity. They can replace the hydrogen of an acid and form bases with hydroxyl radicals. (Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed) Metal
D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
