REV RESPONSE ELEMENT (RRE) RNA COMPLEXED WITH REV PEPTIDE, NMR, MINIMIZED AVERAGE STRUCTURE

Overview

The solution structure of a human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1), Rev peptide bound to stem-loop IIB of the Rev response element (RRE) RNA, was solved by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The Rev peptide has, an alpha-helical conformation and binds in the major groove of the RNA, near a purine-rich internal loop. Several arginine side chains make, base-specific contacts, and an asparagine residue contacts a G.A base, pair. The phosphate backbone adjacent to a G.G base pair adopts an unusual, structure that allows the peptide to access a widened major groove. The, structure formed by the two purine-purine base pairs of the RRE creates a, distinctive binding pocket that the peptide can use for specific, recognition.
