6.5.1.4 ATP + [RNA 3'-phosphate cyclase]-L-histidine = [RNA 3'-phosphate cyclase]-Ntau-(5'-adenylyl)-L-histidine + diphosphate (1a) - 6.5.1.4 ATP + [RNA]-3'-(3'-phospho-ribonucleoside) = AMP + diphosphate + [RNA]-3'-(2',3'-cyclophospho)-ribonucleoside formation of a covalent cyclase-AMP intermediate 2005 6.5.1.4 ATP + [RNA]-3'-(3'-phospho-ribonucleoside) = AMP + diphosphate + [RNA]-3'-(2',3'-cyclophospho)-ribonucleoside overall reaction - 6.5.1.4 ATP + [RNA]-3'-(3'-phospho-ribonucleoside) = AMP + diphosphate + [RNA]-3'-(2',3'-cyclophospho)-ribonucleoside upon binding of Mg2+ to residue E10, the triphosphate group of the trapped ATP changes its conformation, with help of ligands R17 and R39. The Nepsilon atom of H307 attacks the alpha-phosphate group to form a new P-N bond. When a truncated RNA is bound, its 3'-phosphate group may be forced to react with the phosphate group of AMP, and the activated 3'-phosphate group may be attacked by the 2'-hydroxyl group to generate the 2',3'-cyclic phosphodiester 694474 6.5.1.4 [RNA 3'-phosphate cyclase]-Ntau-(5'-adenylyl)-L-histidine + [RNA]-3'-(3'-phospho-ribonucleoside) = [RNA 3'-phosphate cyclase]-L-histidine + [RNA]-3'-ribonucleoside-3'-(5'-diphosphoadenosine) (1b) - 6.5.1.4 [RNA]-3'-ribonucleoside-3'-(5'-diphosphoadenosine) = [RNA]-3'-(2',3'-cyclophospho)-ribonucleoside + AMP (1c) -
