Three variants of minimized hepatitis delta virus (HDV) RNA ribozyme systems designed on the basis of the "pseudoknot" model were synthesized and their tertiary interactions were analyzed by NMR spectroscopy. Rz-1 is a cis-acting ribozyme system (the cleaved form, 56-mer) in which stem IV is deleted from the active domain of genomic HDV RNA. Rz-1 was uniformly labeled with stable isotopes, 13C and 15N. Rz-2 is a trans-acting ribozyme system (substrate: 8-mer, the cytidine residue at the cleavage site is replaced by 2'-O-methylcytidine; enzyme: 16-mer plus 35-mer). Rz-2 was partially labeled with stable isotopes in guanosine residues of enzyme 35mer. Rz-4 is a trans-acting ribozyme system (substrate: 8mer, the cytidine residue at the cleavage site is replaced by 2'-O-methylcytidine; enzyme 53mer) which was designed by Perrotta and Been. Rz-4 has the same sequence and an extra loop closing stem IV. From 2D-NOESY and 2D-HSQC (except for Rz-4) spectra, it was suggested each ribozyme forms "pseudoknot" type structure in solution. Additionally, it was found that G38 of Rz-1, G28 and G29 of Rz-2 and Rz-4 form base-pairs. These novel base-pairs are observed in the crystal structure of a modified genomic HDV RNA. From temperature change experiment of Rz-2, the imino proton signal of G28 disappeared at 50 degrees C earlier than the other corresponding signals. Upon MgCl2 titration of Rz-2, this signal showed the largest shift.
