Hepatitis delta virus (HDV) replicates its circular RNA genome via a rolling circle mechanism. During this process, cis-acting ribozymes cleave adjacent upstream sequences and thereby resolve replication intermediates to unit-length RNA. The subsequent ligation of these 5'OH and 2',3'-cyclic phosphate termini to form circular RNA is an essential step in the life cycle of the virus. Here we present evidence for the involvement of a host activity in the ligation of HDV RNA. We used both HDV and hammerhead ribozymes to generate a panel of HDV and non-HDV RNA substrates that bear 5' hydroxyl and 2', 3'- cyclic phosphate termini. We found that ligation of these substrates occurred in host cells, but not in vitro or in Escherichia coli. The host-specific ligation activity was capable of joining RNA in both bimolecular and intramolecular reactions and functioned in a sequence-independent manner. We conclude that mammalian cells contain a default pathway that efficiently circularizes ribozyme processed RNAs. This pathway could be exploited in the delivery of stable antisense and decoy RNA to the nucleus.
