Non-Watson-Crick base pairs in RNA-protein recognition.
The cellular functions of most RNA molecules involve protein binding, and non-Watson-Crick base pairs are hallmark sites for interactions with proteins. The determination of three-dimensional structures of RNA-peptide and RNA-protein complexes reveals the molecular basis of non-Watson-Crick base-pair recognition.
متن کاملMolecular recognition of Watson-Crick-like purine-purine base pairs.
Nucleic acid duplexes containing non-Watson–Crick base pairs are of interest to several fields including structural biology, supramolecular chemistry, origin of life, and synthetic biology. An early observation of a natural non-Watson–Crick base pair was the tRNA–mRNA adenine–inosine wobble pair, and it is now known that purine–purine pairs occur frequently in natural RNAs, including ribosomes ...
متن کاملRNA folding: beyond Watson-Crick pairs.
Several crystal structures of RNA fragments, alone or in complex with a specific protein, have been recently solved. In addition, the structures of an artificial ribozyme, the leadzyme, and the cleavage product of a human pathogen ribozyme, have extended the structural diversity of ribozyme architectures. The attained set of folding rules and motifs expand the repertoire seen previously in tRNA...
متن کاملProtonation of non-Watson-Crick base pairs and encapsidation of turnip yellow mosaic virus RNA.
The 5' UTR of turnip yellow mosaic virus RNA contains two conserved hairpins with internal loops consisting of C.C and C.A mismatches. In this article, evidence is presented indicating that the 5' proximal hairpin functions as an encapsidation initiation signal. Extensive mutagenesis studies on this hairpin and sequencing of virus progeny showed a clear preference for C.C and C.A mismatches wit...
متن کاملOn the propeller structure of isolated Watson-Crick base pairs.
The nucleotide sequence dependence of the DNA and RNA secondary structure is a problem of current interest in molecular biophysics. The key role of stacking interactions in determining this dependence is widely accepted [1, 2], It is be lieved that the propeller twisting of base pairs, ob served in the structure of both nucleic acids and crystals of nucleosides and nucleotides is a direct man...
