==Plant Viral Protein p19 Suppression of RNA Silencing== <StructureSection load='' size='350' side='right' caption='p19 dimer and siRNA [[1rpu]]' scene='User:Wayne_Decatur/Plant_Viral_Protein_p19_Suppression_of_RNA_Silencing/View1/2'> ==Background== [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RNA_Silencing RNA silencing] is a gene inactivation system in many eukaryotes that relies on tiny RNAs as the targeting molecules. One function of RNA silencing, which is also called [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-transcriptional_gene_silencing post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS)] or [[RNA Interference|RNA interference]] (RNAi), is to act in surveillance against molecular parasites, such as viruses. Double-stranded RNA triggers the RNA silencing pathway and most plant viruses use a double-stranded RNA to replicate their genome. Various plant viruses have developed evasion techniques to circumvent this surveillance system. In one such evasion strategy, the plant viral protein p19 suppresses a plant's anti-viral RNA silencing response. p19 binds with high affinity to the double-stranded RNA silencing mediator, called [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_interfering_RNA siRNA], and this binding sequesters the siRNA, preventing its participation in later steps of RNA silencing. <br> siRNAs are generally characterized by their short length (21–26 nt), 2 nt, 3′ overhanging ends, and 5′ phosphate groups. The most efficient silencing is obtained with siRNA duplexes composed of 21-nt sense and 21-nt antisense strands, paired in a manner to have a 2-nt 3' overhang (see [http://www.rockefeller.edu/labheads/tuschl/sirna.html the Tuschl lab's guide] for designing siRNAs)<ref>Functional anatomy of siRNAs for mediating efficient RNAi in Drosophila melanogaster embryo lysate., Elbashir SM, Martinez J, Patkaniowska A, Lendeckel W, Tuschl T, EMBO J. 2001 Dec 3;20(23):6877-88.

This view only shows part of the network of interactions with the ribose sugar 2'-hydroxyls of the RNA. Other interactions with the 2'-hydroxyls involve water-mediated contacts and the sidechains of p19. Additionally, the phosphate backbone of the duplex is extensively contacted in a specific manner by p19. As expected to insure recognition of any anti-viral siRNAs, there are no base-specific contacts. <!--Dots seemed to crash the jmol window and seems to be due to the dots in views from my tour. (making new scenes with other pdb files and adding dots sing pdb files caused no such problems.) Talked to Eric and he suggested surfaces might look better anyway. However, configuration 1 seemed to cause problems so showing RNA as wireframes; however, I was able start again in sandbox and use lines entered one at time into to Jmol console to get back after doing configuration and for some reason Proteopedia saved it well. I first learned more about Jmol's isosurfaces at Bob Hanson's Interactive Scripting documentation at http://chemapps.stolaf.edu/jmol/docs/ and really useful was the info on surfaces in Jmol at http://jmol.sourceforge.net/docs/surface/ where it clearly illustrated how to make a closed surface around atoms or residues of interest using the ignor command. I had tried it using info from the scripting documentation but 'ignore (not selected)' didn't seem to work for some reason but the info below at Sourceforge helped a lot: define temp atom expression; isoSurface surf1 select(temp) ignore(not temp) molecular So i come up with this set of commands: define endcapaminoacids 39:a,42:a,39:b,42:b; isoSurface delete surf1 select(endcapaminoacids) ignore(not endcapaminoacids) molecular translucent; #ignore makes surface closed by ignoring contributions from rest to surface isosurface ID surf1 fill noMesh noDots notFrontOnly frontlit; color $surf1 translucent 128 orange; --> <scene name='User:Wayne_Decatur/Plant_Viral_Protein_p19_Suppression_of_RNA_Silencing/Phosphatespeci/1'>Specification of the 5' phosphate on the siRNA strands</scene><br> p19 specifies the presence of a <font color = 'cyan'>5'-phosphate</font> at the 5'-end of each RNA strand via hydrogen binding between the <font color = 'cyan'>phosphate</font> and a conserved tryptophan (W42). <br> <scene name='User:Wayne_Decatur/Plant_Viral_Protein_p19_Suppression_of_RNA_Silencing/Molecular_caliper_perfected/2'>p19 is a molecular caliper</scene><br> Most unprecedented is the method of size selection where p19 acts as a molecular caliper reading the size of the substrate. The <font color = 'orange'>aromatic rings of two tryptophan residues (W39 and W42)</font> project from the 'reading' helix near the N-terminus of each of the two p19 monomers, stacking on the terminal base-pairs and symmetrically bracketing the ends of the duplex region of the siRNA. Thus the p19 'caliper' measures and specifically selects siRNA based on the size of the duplex region. The ability of p19 to efficiently accommodate binding of duplexes ranging from 19 to 21 bp could originate in structural plasticity of the distance separating the two 'reading head' helices. Each 'reading' helix is connected to the structured core of p19 by a short flexible loop and several side-chain interactions this presumably allows some flexibility in the positioning of the RNA end-capping tryptophan residues. Many other structures use aromatic rings to stack on nucleotide bases and cap strands in helices, see [[1gm5|F204 and Y208 of 1gm5]], [[1msw|W639 of 1msw]] and [[1qln]].<br> ==Conclusions== The X-ray crystal structure shows the size of the duplex as the major determinant of the siRNA recognized by p19 and biochemical experiments support this assessment. In contrast, the 2-nt 3' overhang seems to have little specific contact with the protein, consistent with Vargason et al. finding comparable binding affinities of p19 for a blunt-ended 19-bp RNA duplex, lacking the typical 2-nt single-stranded 3' overhang. <br> Thus, p19 seems adequately generalized to bind to any host siRNAs, the highest affinity for those with 19 bps of duplex with 5' phosphates. p19 accommodates the the 2 nts overhang at the 3' end that are produced as part of the generation of the siRNAs, and biochemical analysis show binding is best for the 21 nt siRNAs. The structural basis for the size selective interaction of p19 with siRNAs, where an extended beta-sheet spans the length of the helix positioning flanking helices mediating end-capping stacking interactions with the RNA, has not yet been seen in other interactions of protein with double-stranded RNAs. ==About this Structure== 1rpu is a [[Protein complex]] structure of sequences from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnation_italian_ringspot_virus Carnation italian ringspot virus].
