Description
The enzyme catalyses the ligation of RNA strands with 3'-hydroxyl and 5'-phosphate termini, forming a phosphodiester and sealing certain types of single-strand breaks in RNA. Catalysis occurs by a three-step mechanism, starting with the activation of the enzyme by ATP, forming a phosphoramide bond between adenylate and a lysine residue. The adenylate group is then transferred to the 5'-phosphate terminus of the substrate, forming the capped structure 5'-(5'-diphosphoadenosine)-[RNA]. Finally, the enzyme catalyses a nucleophilic attack of the 3'-OH terminus on the capped terminus, which results in formation of the phosphodiester bond and release of the adenylate.
Form

Synonyms
polyribonucleotide synthase (ATP); RNA ligase; polyribonucleotide ligase; ribonucleic ligase; poly(ribonucleotide):poly(ribonucleotide) ligase (AMP-forming)
Reaction
ATP + (ribonucleotide)n-3'-hydroxyl + 5'-phospho-(ribonucleotide)m = (ribonucleotide)n+m + AMP + diphosphate (overall reaction); (1a) ATP + [RNA ligase]-L-lysine = [RNA ligase]-N6-(5'-adenylyl)-L-lysine + diphosphate; (1b) [RNA ligase]-N6-(5'-adenylyl)-L-lysine + 5'-phospho-(ribonucleotide)m = 5'-(5'-diphosphoadenosine)-(ribonucleotide)m + [RNA ligase]-L-lysine; (1c) (ribonucleotide)n-3'-hydroxyl + 5'-(5'-diphosphoadenosine)-(ribonucleotide)m = (ribonucleotide)n+m + AMP
