DNAzymes are catalytic DNA molecules which can perform a variety of reactions. Although advances have been made in obtaining DNAzymes via in vitro selection and many of them have been developed into sensors and imaging agents for metal ions, bacteria and other molecules, the structural features responsible for these enzymatic reactions are still not well understood. Previous studies of the 8-17 DNAzyme have suggested conserved guanines close to the phosphodiester transfer site may play a role in the catalytic reaction. To identify the specific guanine and functional group of the guanine responsible for the reaction, we herein report the effects of replacing G1.1 and G14 (G, pKa,N1 9.4) with analogs with a different pKa at the N1 position, such as inosine (G14I, pKa,N1 8.7), 2,6-diaminopurine (G14diAP, N1 pKa,N1 5.6) and 2-aminopurine (G14AP, pKa,N1 3.8) on pH-dependent reaction rates. A comparison of the pH-dependence of the reaction rates of these DNAzymes demonstrated that G14 in the bulge loop, not G1.1 next to the cleavage site, is involved in proton transfer at the catalytic site. These results support general acid-base catalysis as a feasible strategy used in DNA catalysis, similar to RNA and protein enzymes.
