Rules for RNA recognition of GNRA tetraloops deduced by in vitro selection: comparison with in vivo evolution.
Terminal loops with a GNRA consensus sequence are a prominent feature of large self-assembling RNA molecules. In order to investigate tertiary interactions involving GNRA loops, we have devised an in vitro selection system derived from a group I ribozyme. Two selections, destined to isolate RNA sequences that would recognize two of the most widespread loops (GUGA and GAAA), yielded variants of ...
متن کاملN 2-methylguanosine is iso-energetic with guanosine in RNA duplexes and GNRA tetraloops.
Modified nucleotides are resource-intensive alternatives to the four nucleotides that constitute the bulk of natural RNAs. Yet, even in cases where modifications are highly conserved, their functions are difficult to identify. One possible function might be to modulate the stability of RNA structures. To investigate this possibility for N 2-methylguanosine (m2G), which is present in a wide vari...
متن کاملComprehensive features of natural and in vitro selected GNRA tetraloop-binding receptors
Specific recognitions of GNRA tetraloops by small helical receptors are among the most widespread long-range packing interactions in large ribozymes. However, in contrast to GYRA and GAAA tetraloops, very few GNRA/receptor interactions have yet been identified to involve GGAA tetraloops in nature. A novel in vitro selection scheme based on a rigid self-assembling tectoRNA scaffold designed for ...
متن کاملCommon and distinctive features of GNRA tetraloops based on a GUAA tetraloop structure at 1.4 A resolution.
GNRA tetraloops (N is A, C, G, or U; R is A or G) are basic building blocks of RNA structure that often interact with proteins or other RNA structural elements. Understanding sequence-dependent structural variation among different GNRA tetraloops is an important step toward elucidating the molecular basis of specific GNRA tetraloop recognition by proteins and RNAs. Details of the geometry and h...
متن کاملRecognition of a conserved class of RNA tetraloops by Saccharomyces cerevisiae RNase III.
Ribonucleases III are double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) endonucleases required for the processing of a large number of prokaryotic and eukaryotic transcripts. Although the specificity of bacterial RNase III cleavage relies on antideterminants in the dsRNA, the molecular basis of eukaryotic RNase III specificity is unknown. All substrates of yeast RNase III (Rnt1p) are capped by terminal tetraloops sh...
