Role of a heterogeneous free state in the formation of a specific RNA-theophylline complex.

Abstract:

:The helical regions of RNA are generally very stable, but the single-stranded and loop regions often exist as an ensemble of conformations in solution. The theophylline-binding RNA aptamer forms a very stable structure when bound to the bronchodilator theophylline, but the theophylline binding site is not stably formed in the absence of ligand. The kinetics for theophylline binding were measured here by stopped-flow fluorescence spectroscopy to probe the mechanism for theophylline binding in this RNA aptamer. The kinetic studies showed that formation of the RNA-theophylline complex is over 1000 times slower than a diffusion-controlled rate, and the high affinity of the RNA-theophylline complex arises primarily from a slow dissociation rate for the complex. A theophylline-independent rate was observed for formation of the theophylline-RNA complex at high theophylline concentration, indicating that a conformational change in the RNA is the rate-limiting step in complex formation under these conditions. The RNA-theophylline complex requires divalent metal ions, such as Mg2+, to form a high-affinity complex, and there is a greater than 10000-fold reduction in affinity for theophylline in the absence of Mg2+. This decrease in binding affinity in the absence of Mg2+ results primarily from an increased dissociation rate for the complex. The implications of an ensemble of conformations in the free state of this theophylline-binding RNA are discussed and compared with mechanisms for formation of protein-ligand complexes.
