Abstract
It is generally considered that if an RNA World ever existed that it would be driven by an RNA capable of RNA replication. Whether such a catalytic RNA could emerge in an RNA World or not, there would need to be prior routes to increasing complexity in order to produce it. It is hypothesized here that increasing sequence variety, if not complexity, can in fact readily emerge in response to a dynamic equilibrium between synthesis and degradation. A model system in which T4 RNA ligase catalyzes synthesis and Benzonase catalyzes degradation was constructed. An initial 20-mer served as a seed and was subjected to 180 min of simultaneous ligation and degradation. The seed RNA rapidly disappeared and was replaced by an increasing number and variety of both larger and smaller variants. Variants of 40-80 residues were consistently seen, typically representing 2-4% of the unique sequences. In a second experiment with four individual 9-mers, numerous variants were again produced. These included variants of the individual 9-mers as well as sequences that contained sequence segments from two or more 9-mers. In both cases, the RNA products lack large numbers of point mutations but instead incorporate additions and subtractions of fragments of the original RNAs. The system demonstrates that if such equilibrium were established in a prebiotic world it would result in significant exploration of RNA sequence space and likely increased complexity. It remains to be seen if the variety of products produced is affected by the presence of small peptide oligomers.
