Abstract:
:Due to their prevalence and roles in biological systems, single mismatches adjacent to G-U pairs are important RNA structural elements. Since there are only limited experimental values for the stability of single mismatches adjacent to G-U pairs, current algorithms using free energy minimization to predict RNA secondary structure from sequence assign predicted thermodynamic values to these types of single mismatches. Here, thermodynamic data are reported for frequently occurring single mismatches adjacent to at least one G-U pair. This experimental data can be used in place of predicted thermodynamic values in algorithms that predict secondary structure from sequence using free energy minimization. When predicting the thermodynamic contributions of previously unmeasured single mismatches, most algorithms apply the same thermodynamic penalty for an A-U pair adjacent to a single mismatch and a G-U pair adjacent to a single mismatch. A recent study, however, suggests that the penalty for a G-U pair adjacent to a tandem mismatch should be 1.2 +/- 0.1 kcal/mol, and the penalty for an A-U pair adjacent to a tandem mismatch should be 0.5 +/- 0.2 kcal/mol [Christiansen, M. E. and Znosko, B. M. (2008) Biochemistry 47, 4329-4336]. Therefore, the data reported here are combined with the existing thermodynamic dataset of single mismatches, and nearest neighbor parameters are derived for an A-U pair adjacent to a single mismatch (1.1 +/- 0.1 kcal/mol) and a G-U pair adjacent to a single mismatch (1.4 +/- 0.1 kcal/mol).
