ResumenEggplant latent viroid (ELVd) can form stable hammerhead structures in its (1) and ( ) strands. These ribozymes have the longest helices I reported in natural hammerheads, with that of the ELVd (1) hammerhead being particularly stable (5/7 bp are G-C). Moreover, the trinucleotide preceding the self-cleavage site of this hammerhead is AUA, which together with GUA also found in some natural hammerheads, deviate from the GUC present in most natural hammerheads including the ELVd ( ) hammerhead. When the AUA trinucleotide preceding the self-cleavage site of the ELVd (1) hammerhead was substituted by GUA and GUC, as well as by AUC (essentially absent in natural hammerheads), the values of the self-cleavage rate constants at low magnesium of the purified hammerheads were: ELVd-(1)-AUC ELVd-(1)-GUC.ELVd-(1)-GUA. ELVd-(1)-AUA. However, the ELVd-(1)-AUC hammerhead was the catalytically less efficient during in vitro transcription, most likely because of the transient adoption of catalytically-inactive metastable structures. These results suggest that natural hammerheads have been evolutionary selected to function co-transcriptionally, and provide a model explaining the lack of trinucleotide AUC preceding the self-cleavage site of most natural hammerheads. Comparisons with other natural hammerheads showed that the ELVd-(1)-GUC and ELVd-(1)-AUC hammerheads are the catalytically most active in a post-transcriptional context with low magnesium
