Base pairing in wheat germ ribosomal 5S RNA as measured by ultraviolet absorption, circular dichroism, and Fourier-transform infrared spectrometry.

Abstract：

:Ultraviolet absorption (UV) and circular dichroism (CD) spectra of wheat germ 5S RNA, when compared to tRNAPhe, indicate a largely base-paired and base-stacked helical structure, containing up to 36 base pairs. Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra of tRNAPhe and wheat germ ribosomal 5S RNA have been acquired at 30 and 90 degrees C. From the difference of the FT-IR spectra between 90 and 30 degrees C, the number of base pairs in both RNAs was determined by modification of a previously published procedure [Burkey, K. O., Marshall, A. G., & Alben, J. O. (1983) Biochemistry 22, 4223-4229]. The base-pair composition and total base-pair number from FT-IR data are now consistent for the first time with optical (UV, CD, Raman) and NMR results for ribosomal 5S RNA. Without added Mg2+, tRNAPhe gave 18 +/- 2 base pairs [7 A-U and 11 G-C], in good agreement with the number of secondary base pairs from X-ray crystallography [8 A-U, 12 G-C, and 1 G-U]. Within the 10% precision of the FT-IR method, wheat germ 5S RNA exhibits essentially the same number of base pairs [14 A-U, 17 G-C, and 5 G-U; for a total of 36] in the absence of Mg2+ as in the presence of Mg2+ [14 A-U, 18 G-C, and 3 G-U; for a total of 35], in agreement with the UV hyperchromism estimate of G-C/(A-U + G-C) = 0.58.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
