SOLUTION STRUCTURE OF AN RNA DUPLEX INCLUDING A C-U BASE-PAIR
Overview
The formation of the C-U base pair in a duplex was observed in solution by, means of the temperature profile of (15)N chemical shifts, and the precise, geometry of the C-U base pair was also determined by NOE-based structure, calculation. From the solution structure of the RNA oligomer, r[CGACUCAGG].r[CCUGCGUCG], it was found that a single C-U mismatch, preferred being stacked in the duplex rather than being flipped-out even, in solution. Moreover, it adopts an irregular geometry, where the amino, nitrogen (N4) of the cytidine and keto-oxygen (O4) of the uridine are, within hydrogen-bonding distance, as seen in crystals. To further prove, the presence of a hydrogen bond in the C-U pair, we employed a, point-labeled cytidine at the exocyclic amino nitrogen of the cytidine in, the C-U pair. The temperature profile of its (15)N chemical shift showed a, sigmoidal transition curve, indicating the presence of a hydrogen bond in, the C-U pair in the duplex.
