Probing essential nucleobase functional groups in aptamers and deoxyribozymes by nucleotide analogue interference mapping of DNA.
Nucleotide analogue interference mapping of DNA (dNAIM) is here introduced as a new nonenzymatic interference-based approach that enables high-throughput identification of essential nucleobase functional groups in DNA aptamers and in the catalytic core of deoxyribozymes. Nucleobase-modified ribonucleotides are statistically incorporated into DNA by solid-phase synthesis, employing the 2'-OH gro...
متن کاملInvestigation of adenosine base ionization in the hairpin ribozyme by nucleotide analog interference mapping.
Tertiary structure in globular RNA folds can create local environments that lead to pKa perturbation of specific nucleotide functional groups. To assess the prevalence of functionally relevant adenosine-specific pKa perturbation in RNA structure, we have altered the nucleotide analog interference mapping (NAIM) approach to include a series of a phosphorothioate-tagged adenosine analogs with shi...
متن کاملEnhancement of RNA Interference Effect in P19 EC Cells by an RNA-dependent RNA Polymerase
Background: RNA interference (RNAi) is a phenomenon uses double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) to specifically inhibit gene expression. The non-specific silencing caused by interferon response to dsRNA in mammalian cells limits the potential of utilizing RNAi to study gene function. Duplexes of 21-nucleotide short interfering dsRNA (siRNA) inhibit gene expression by RNAi. In some organisms, siRNA can als...
متن کاملRNA interference is mediated by 21- and 22-nucleotide RNAs.
Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) induces sequence-specific posttranscriptional gene silencing in many organisms by a process known as RNA interference (RNAi). Using a Drosophila in vitro system, we demonstrate that 21- and 22-nt RNA fragments are the sequence-specific mediators of RNAi. The short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) are generated by an RNase III-like processing reaction from long dsRNA. Chemic...
متن کاملThe RNA-mediated, asymmetric ring regulatory mechanism of the transcription termination Rho helicase decrypted by time-resolved Nucleotide Analog Interference Probing (trNAIP)
Rho is a ring-shaped, ATP-dependent RNA helicase/translocase that dissociates transcriptional complexes in bacteria. How RNA recognition is coupled to ATP hydrolysis and translocation in Rho is unclear. Here, we develop and use a new combinatorial approach, called time-resolved Nucleotide Analog Interference Probing (trNAIP), to unmask RNA molecular determinants of catalytic Rho function. We id...
