Use of ultra stable UNCG tetraloop hairpins to fold RNA structures: thermodynamic and spectroscopic applications.

Abstract:

:RNA molecules of > 20 nucleotides have been the focus of numerous recent NMR structural studies. Several investigators have used the UNCG family of hairpins to ensure proper folding. We show that th UUCG hairpin has a minimum requirement of a two base-pair stem. Hairpins with a CG loop closing base pair and an initial 5'CG or 5'GC base pair have a melting temperature approximately 55 degrees C in 10 mM sodium phosphate. The high stability of even such small hairpins suggests that the hairpin can serve as a nucleation site for folding. For high resolution NMR work, the UNCG loop family (UACG in particular) provides excellent spectroscopic markers in one-dimensional exchangeable spectra, in two-dimensional COSY spectra and in NOESY spectra that clearly define it as forming a hairpin. This allows straightforward initiation of chemical shift assignments.

  • Femtosecond near-infrared laser microirradiation reveals a crucial role for PARP signaling on factor assemblies at DNA damage sites.

    abstract::Laser microirradiation is a powerful tool for real-time single-cell analysis of the DNA damage response (DDR). It is often found, however, that factor recruitment or modification profiles vary depending on the laser system employed. This is likely due to an incomplete understanding of how laser conditions/dosages affe...
