We previously developed a synthetic cis ‐acting RNA ligase ribozyme with 3′–5′ joining activity termed “DSL” (designed and selected ligase). DSL was easily transformed into a trans ‐acting form because of its highly modular architecture. In this study, we investigated the modular properties and turnover capabilities of a trans ‐acting DSL, t DSL‐1/GUAA. t DSL‐1/GUAA exhibited remarkably high activity compared with the parental cis ‐acting DSL, and it attained a high turnover number. Taken together, the results indicate that a loop–receptor interaction plays a significant role in determining the activity of the trans ‐acting ribozyme and in its ability to perform multiple turnovers of the reaction.
