Evidence for several higher order structural elements in ribosomal RNA.
Comparative analysis of small subunit ribosomal RNA sequences suggests the existence of two new higher order interactions: (i) a double-helical structure involving positions 505-507 and 524-526 (Escherichia coli numbering) and (ii) an interaction between the region of position 130 and the helix located approximately between positions 180 and 195. In the first of these, one of the strands of the...
متن کاملEvolutionary changes in the higher order structure of the ribosomal 5S RNA
The structure of the ribosomal 5 S RNA was examined using Fe(II)-EDTA, a solvent-based reagent that cleaves the phosphodiester backbone of both double- and single-stranded RNA but is restricted by the three-dimensional structure. In the yeast 5 S RNA, cleavages were significantly restricted in six specific regions of the molecule; restrictions in only two of these regions were clearly dependent...
متن کاملChemical probes for higher-order structure in RNA.
Three chemical reactions can probe the secondary and tertiary interactions of RNA molecules in solution. Dimethyl sulfate monitors the N-7 of guanosines and senses tertiary interactions there, diethyl pyrocarbonate detects stacking of adenosines, and an alternate dimethyl sulfate reaction examines the N-3 of cytidines and thus probes base pairing. The reactions work between 0 degrees C and 90 d...
متن کاملSecondary structure model for 23S ribosomal RNA.
A secondary structure model for 23S ribosomal RNA has been constructed on the basis of comparative sequence data, including the complete sequences from E. coli. Bacillus stearothermophilis, human and mouse mitochondria and several partial sequences. The model has been tested extensively with single strand-specific chemical and enzymatic probes. Long range base-paired interactions organize the m...
متن کاملSecondary structure of 5 S ribosomal RNA.
A secondary structure model for 16S ribosomal RNA which is based on available chemical, enzymatic, and comparative sequence data shows good agreement between constraints dictated by the model and a wide variety of experimental observations. The four major structural domains created by the base-pairing scheme correspond closely to RNA fragments isolated after nuclease digestion in the presence o...
