pubmed:abstractText
In DNA-dependent RNA polymerases, reactions of RNA synthesis and degradation are performed by the same active center (in contrast to DNA polymerases in which they are separate). We propose a unified catalytic mechanism for multisubunit RNA polymerases based on the analysis of its 3'-5' exonuclease reaction in the context of crystal structure. The active center involves a symmetrical pair of Mg(2+) ions that switch roles in synthesis and degradation. One ion is retained permanently and the other is recruited ad hoc for each act of catalysis. The weakly bound Mg(2+) is stabilized in the active center in different modes depending on the type of reaction: during synthesis by the beta,gamma-phosphates of the incoming substrate; and during hydrolysis by the phosphates of a non-base-paired nucleoside triphosphate. The latter mode defines a transient, non-specific nucleoside triphosphate-binding site adjacent to the active center, which may serve as a gateway for polymerization of substrates.
