Abstract
The RNA lariat debranching enzyme is the sole enzyme responsible for hydrolyzing the 2'-5' phosphodiester bond in RNA lariats produced by the spliceosome. Here, we test the ability of Dbr1 to hydrolyze branched RNAs (bRNAs) that contain a 2'-5'-phosphorothioate linkage, a modification commonly used to resist degradation. We attempted to cocrystallize a phosphorothioate-branched RNA (PS-bRNA) with wild-type <i>Entamoeba histolytica</i> Dbr1 (EhDbr1) but observed in-crystal hydrolysis of the phosphorothioate bond. The crystal structure revealed EhDbr1 in a product-bound state, with the hydrolyzed 2'-5' fragment of the PS-bRNA mimicking the binding mode of the native bRNA substrate. These findings suggest that product inhibition may contribute to the kinetic mechanism of Dbr1. We show that Dbr1 enzymes cleave phosphorothioate linkages at rates ∼10,000-fold more slowly than native phosphate linkages. This new product-bound crystal structure offers atomic details, which can aid inhibitor design. Dbr1 inhibitors could be therapeutic or investigative compounds for human diseases such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), cancer, and viral encephalitis.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
