Secondary structure of the Irf7 5’-UTR, analyzed using SHAPE (selective 2’-hydroxyl acylation analyzed by primer extension)

چکیده
OASL1 is a member of the 2'-5'-oligoadenylate synthetase (OAS) family and promotes viral clearance by activating RNase L. OASL1 interacts with the 5'-untranslated region (UTR) of interferon regulatory factor 7 (Irf7) and inhibits its translation. To identify the secondary structure required for OASL1 binding, we examined the 5'-UTR of the Irf7 transcript using "selective 2'-hydroxyl acylation analyzed by primer extension" (SHAPE). SHAPE takes advantage of the selective acylation of residues in single-stranded regions by 1-methyl-7-nitroisatoic anhydride (1M7). We found five major acylation sites located in, or next to, predicted single-stranded regions of the Irf7 5'-UTR. These results demonstrate the involvement of the stem structure of the Irf7 5'-UTR in the regulation of Irf7 translation, mediated by OASL1.

متن کاملStructural characterization of the Rous sarcoma virus RNA stability element.
In eukaryotic cells, an mRNA bearing a premature termination codon (PTC) or an abnormally long 3' untranslated region (UTR) is often degraded by the nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) pathway. Despite the presence of a 5- to 7-kb 3' UTR, unspliced retroviral RNA escapes this degradation. We previously identified the Rous sarcoma virus (RSV) stability element (RSE), an RNA element downstream of ...

The reactivity of an RNA ribose hydroxyl is shown to be exquisitely sensitive to local nucleotide flexibility because a conformationally constrained adjacent 3'-phosphodiester inhibits formation of the deprotonated, nucleophilic oxyanion form of the 2'-hydroxyl group. Reaction with an appropriate electrophile, N-methylisatoic anhydride, to form a 2'-O-adduct thus can be used to monitor local st...
