Based on these studies, we designed a series of Group I aptazymes in which the anti-theophylline aptamer was substituted for either a portion of P6 or P5 (Figure 1).
Design of Group I aptazymes
The effector specificity could be rationally changed by changing the specificity of the conjoined aptamer: when a mutation was introduced into the anti-theophylline aptamer that led to discrimination against theophylline and in favor of 3-methylxanthine (that also differed from theophylline by a single methyl group), the aptamer became solely responsive to 3-methylxanthine in vivo . Group I aptazymes may have a number of important biotechnology applications, including use as in vivo , real-time reporters and as regulatable gene therapeutics.
Based on these results, the primary mechanism of activation is likely the same as has been observed for other aptazymes: ligand-induced conformational changes that stabilize functional ribozyme sequences and structures.
In contrast, aptazymes that may have yielded even modestly greater amounts of functional Thymidylate Synthase (e.g.
