Specific RNA binding by Q beta coat protein.

Abstract:

:The interaction between the bacteriophage Q beta coat protein and its specific binding site on Q beta genomic RNA was characterized by using a nitrocellulose filter binding assay. Q beta coat protein bound to a synthetic 29-nucleotide RNA hairpin with an association constant of 400 microM-1 at 4 degrees C, 0.2 M ionic strength, pH 6.0. Complex formation had a broad pH optimum centered around pH 6.0 and was favored by both enthalpy and entropy. The salt dependence of Ka revealed that four to five ion pairs may be formed in the complex although approximately 80% of the free energy of complex formation is contributed by nonelectrostatic interactions. Truncation experiments revealed that coat protein binding required only the presence of a hairpin with an eight base pair stem and a three-base loop. Analysis of the binding properties of hairpin variants showed that the sequence of the stem was not important for coat protein recognition and only one of the three loop residues was essential. A bulged adenosine present in the coat protein binding site was not required for coat protein binding. Q beta coat protein binding specific is therefore primarily achieved by the structure and not by the sequence of the operator.
