Revised Manuscript Received June 25, 1992 abstract: We describe 12 new catalytic RNA reactions which are intermolecular variants of the well-known intramolecular Pb2+-promoted hydrolysis of yeast tRNAphe. Fragments derived from the native yeast tRNAphe which possess the T stem-loop can function as catalysts for the site-specific hydrolysis at pi 8 of D stem-loop-containing fragments. Aninitial report described the catalytic cleavage of an unmodified T7 transcript corresponding to the 5'half of tRNAPhe by a 3'half-molecule derived from the native tRNA.[Sampson, J. R., Sullivan, F. X., Behlen, L. S., DiRenzo, A. B., & Uhlenbeck, OC (1987) Cold SpringHarbor Symp. Quant. Biol. 52, 267-275]. We have investigated the trans reaction further by creating a family of substrate and catalyst RNA molecules by dissection of the native tRNAphe using a combination of chemical and enzymatic methods. A search for cleavage activity in trans was conducted using a combinatorial approach with the available T and D stem-loop-containing fragments. Twelve combinations were found to be catalytic, and initial rates, fccat’s, and Km's are reported for each. The fccat’s for thereactions differ by~
