3D RNA and Functional Interactions from Evolutionary Couplings
Non-coding RNAs are ubiquitous, but the discovery of new RNA gene sequences far outpaces the research on the structure and functional interactions of these RNA gene sequences. We mine the evolutionary sequence record to derive precise information about the function and structure of RNAs and RNA-protein complexes. As in protein structure prediction, we use maximum entropy global probability mode...
متن کاملNMR detection of side chain-side chain hydrogen bonding interactions in 13C/15N-labeled proteins.
We describe the direct observation of side chain-side chain hydrogen bonding interactions in proteins with sensitivity-enhanced NMR spectroscopy. Specifically, the remote correlation between the guanidinium nitrogen 15Nepsilon of arginine 71, which serves as the hydrogen donor, and the acceptor carboxylate carbon 13CO2gamma of aspartate 100 in a 12 kDa protein, human FKBP12, is detected via the...
متن کاملQuantifying amino acid conformational preferences and side-chain-side-chain interactions in beta-hairpins.
The intrinsic conformational biases of individual amino acids and their interstrand side-chain-side-chain (SC-SC) interactions both contribute to the stability of beta-sheets. The relative magnitudes of these effects have been difficult to assess in the context of folded proteins, where tertiary contacts complicate the quantitative analysis of local effects. We now report the results of such an...
متن کاملTryptophan-containing peptide helices: interactions involving the indole side chain.
Two designed peptide sequences containing Trp residues at positions i and i + 5 (Boc-Leu-Trp-Val-Ala-Aib-Leu-Trp-Val-OMe, 1) as well as i and i + 6 (Boc-Leu-Trp-Val-Aib-Ala-Aib-Leu-Trp-Val-OMe, 2) containing one and two centrally positioned Aib residues, respectively, for helix nucleation, have been shown to form stable helices in chloroform solutions. Structures derived from nuclear magnetic r...
متن کاملSteric interactions determine side-chain conformations in protein cores.
We investigate the role of steric interactions in defining side-chain conformations in protein cores. Previously, we explored the strengths and limitations of hard-sphere dipeptide models in defining sterically allowed side-chain conformations and recapitulating key features of the side-chain dihedral angle distributions observed in high-resolution protein structures. Here, we show that modelin...
