چکیده
The (1)H NMR spectra of RNAs representing E. coli 23S rRNA helix 69 with [1,3-(15)N]pseudouridine modification at specific sites reveal unique roles for pseudouridine in stabilizing base-stacking interactions in the hairpin loop region.

RluD, a highly conserved pseudouridine synthase, modifies 50S subunits more specifically and efficiently than free 23S rRNA.
Pseudouridine modifications in helix 69 (H69) of 23S ribosomal RNA are highly conserved among all organisms. H69 associates with helix 44 of 16S rRNA to form bridge B2a, which plays a vital role in bridging the two ribosomal subunits and stabilizing the ribosome. The three pseudouridines in H69 were shown earlier to play an important role in 50S subunit assembly and in its association with the ...
متن کاملHelix Capping in RNA Structure
Helices are an essential element in defining the three-dimensional architecture of structured RNAs. While internal basepairs in a canonical helix stack on both sides, the ends of the helix stack on only one side and are exposed to the loop side, thus susceptible to fraying unless they are protected. While coaxial stacking has long been known to stabilize helix ends by directly stacking two cano...

Ribosomal (r) RNAs play a crucial role in the fundamental structure and function of the ribosome. Helix 69 (H69) (position 1906-1924), a highly conserved stem-loop in domain IV of the 23 S rRNA of bacterial 50 S subunits, is located on the surface for intersubunit association with the 30 S subunit by connecting with helix 44 of 16 S rRNA with the bridge B2a. H69 directly interacts with A/T-, A-...
متن کاملTheoretical study of the effects of substituent and quadrupole moment on π-π stacking interactions with coronene
Stability of the π-π stacking interactions in the Ben||substituted-coronene and HFBen||substituted-coronene complexes was studied using the computational quantum chemistry methods (where Ben and HFBen are benzene and hexaflourobenzene, || denotes π-π stacking interaction, substituted-coronene is coronene molecule which substituted with four X groups, and X= NH2, CH3, OH, H, F, CF3, CN and NO). ...
متن کاملStructure modulation of helix 69 from Escherichia coli 23S ribosomal RNA by pseudouridylations
Helix 69 (H69) is a 19-nt stem-loop region from the large subunit ribosomal RNA. Three pseudouridine (Ψ) modifications clustered in H69 are conserved across phylogeny and known to affect ribosome function. To explore the effects of Ψ on the conformations of Escherichia coli H69 in solution, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy was used to reveal the structural differences between H69 with (Ψ...
