TY - JOUR ID - 573414 AU - Rázga, Filip - Koča, Jaroslav - Leontis, Neocles B. - Šponer, Jiří PY - 2005 TI - Elbow-like motions in Ribosomal Kink-turns: The role of the second A-minor motif and Nominally unpaired bases PB - Adenine Press CY - New York, USA SN - 15330346 KW - Kink-turn KW - RNA flexibility KW - A-minor KW - Ribosome dynamics N2 - Kink-turn (K-turn) motifs are asymmetric internal loops found at conserved positions in diverse RNAs, with sharp bends in phosphodiester backbones producing "V"-shaped structures. Explicit-solvent Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations were carried out for selected K-turns from 23S rRNA (Kt-38, Kt-42, Kt-58) and for K-turn of human U4 snRNA (Kt-U4). The MD simulations reveal hinge-like K-turn motions on the nanosecond time-scale and thus indicate that K-turns are dynamically flexible, and capable of regulating significant inter-segmental motions. The first conserved A-minor interaction between the K-turn stems is entirely stable in all simulations. The angle between the helical arms of Kt-38 and Kt-42 is regulated by local variations of the second A-minor (type I) interaction between the stems. Its variability ranges from closed geometries to open ones stabilized by insertion of long-residency waters between adenine and cytosine. Kt-58 and Kt-U4 exhibit similar elbow-like motions caused by conformational change of the adenosine from the nominally unpaired region. Despite the observed substantial dynamics of K-turns, key tertiary interactions are stable and no sign of unfolding is seen. The presence of K-turns at key functional sites in the ribosome suggests that they confer flexibility to RNA protuberances that regulate the traversal of tRNAs from one binding site to another across the interface between the small and large subunit during protein synthesis cycle.
