Abstract
A new enzyme, which we named ribosome RNA apurinic site specific lyase (RALyase), has been characterized. The enzyme specifically cleaves a phosphodiester bond at the apurinic site in the sarcin/ricin domain of 28S rRNA in ribosomes. The cut ends of wheat 28S rRNA were determined as 5'---GUACG-alpha-hydroxy-alpha, beta-unsaturated aldehyde and pGAGGA---3' for the 3' fragment, demonstrating that the enzyme catalyzes the beta-elimination reaction.
