The sequence-specific endoribonuclease MazF is widely conserved among prokaryotes. Approximately 20 different MazF cleavage sequences have been discovered, varying from three to seven nucleotides in length. Although MazFs from various prokaryotes were found, the cleavage sequences of most MazFs are unknown. Here, we characterized the conserved MazF of Salmonella enterica subsp. arizonae (MazF-SEA). Using massive parallel sequencing and fluorometric assays, we revealed that MazF-SEA preferentially cleaves the sequences U∧ACG and U∧ACU (∧ represents cleavage sites). In addition, we predicted the 3D structure of MazF-SEA using AlphaFold2 and aligned it with the crystal structure of RNA-bound Bacillus subtilis MazF to evaluate RNA interactions. We found Arg-73 of MazF-SEA interacts with RNAs containing G and U at the third position from the cleavage sites (U∧ACG and U∧ACU). We then obtained the mutated MazF-SEA R73L protein to evaluate the significance of Arg-73 interaction with RNAs containing G and U at this position. We also used fluorometric and kinetic assays and showed the enzymatic activity of MazF-SEA R73L for the sequence UACG and UACU was significantly decreased. These results suggest Arg-73 is essential for recognizing G and U at the third position from the cleavage sites. This is the first study to our knowledge to identify a single residue responsible for RNA recognition by MazF. Owing to its high specificity and ribosome-independence, MazF is useful for RNA cleavage in vitro. These results will likely contribute to increasing the diversity of MazF specificity and to furthering the application of MazF in RNA engineering.
