MS2 PROTEIN CAPSID/RNA COMPLEX
Overview
We have determined the crystal structures, at 2.8 A resolution, of two, different RNA aptamers, each bound to MS2 coat protein. One of the, aptamers contains a non-Watson-Crick base pair, while the other is missing, one of the unpaired adenines that make sequence-specific contacts in the, wild-type complex. Despite these differences, the RNA aptamers bind in the, same location on the protein as the wild-type translational operator., Comparison of these new structures with other MS2-RNA complexes allows us, to refine further the definition of the minimal recognition elements and, suggests a possible application of the MS2 system for routine structure, determination of small nucleic acid motifs.
