RNA LEGO: magnesium-dependent assembly of RNA building blocks through loop-loop interactions.
We describe the construction of nano-molecular assemblies using RNA building blocks the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) dimerization initiation site (DIS) RNA, that forms stable base pairing through a magnesium-dependent loop-loop interaction ("kissing"). RNA building blocks containing two DIS or DIS-like hairpins connected by a two nucleotide linker self-assembled to form specific ...
متن کاملStabilities of HIV-1 DIS type RNA loop–loop interactions in vitro and in vivo
RNA loop-loop interactions are a prevalent motif in the formation of tertiary structure and are well suited to trigger molecular recognition between RNA molecules. We determined the stabilities of several loop-loop interactions with a constant 6 bp core sequence and varying unpaired flanking nucleotides and found that the flanking bases have a strong influence on the stability and ion dependenc...
متن کاملCharacterization of RNA hairpin loop stability.
Fifteen RNA hairpins that share the same stem sequence and have homopolymer loops of A, C and U residues which vary in length from three to nine nucleotides were synthesized and their thermal stabilities determined. Tm varies as a function of loop size but is almost independent of loop composition. Loops of four or five nucleotides are found to be the most stable loop size. This is consistent w...
متن کاملRNA splicing: Out of the loop
Recent functional analysis of catalytic and exon-binding domains from group II autocatalytic introns has revealed haunting similarities with small nuclear RNA sequences in the spliceosome.
متن کاملCoarse-Grained Prediction of RNA Loop Structures
One of the key issues in the theoretical prediction of RNA folding is the prediction of loop structure from the sequence. RNA loop free energies are dependent on the loop sequence content. However, most current models account only for the loop length-dependence. The previously developed "Vfold" model (a coarse-grained RNA folding model) provides an effective method to generate the complete ense...
