TY - JOUR ID - 634032 AU - Špačková, Naděžda - Šponer, Jiří PY - 2006 TI - Molecular dynamics simulations of sarcin-ricin rRNA motif JF - Nucleic Acids Research VL - 34 IS - 2 SP - 697-708 EP - 697-708 PB - Oxford University Press SN - 00063465 KW - molecular dynamics;sarcin-ricin UR - www.oxfordjournals.org N2 - Explicit solvent molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were carried out for sarcinricin domain (SRD) motifs from 23S (Escherichia coli) and 28S (rat) rRNAs. The SRD motif consists of GAGA tetraloop, G-bulged cross-strand A-stack, flexible region and duplex part. Detailed analysis of the overall dynamics, base pairing, hydration, cation binding and other SRD features is presented. The SRD is surprisingly static in multiple 25 ns long simulations and lacks any non-local motions, with root mean square deviation (r.m.s.d.) values between averaged MD and high-resolution X-ray structures of 11.4 A . Modest dynamics is observed in the tetraloop, namely, rotation of adenine in its apex and subtle reversible shift of the tetraloop with respect to the adjacent base pair.The deformedflexible region in low-resolution rat X-ray structure is repaired by simulations. The simulations reveal few backbone flips, which do not affect positions of bases and do not indicate a force field imbalance. Non-Watson Crick base pairs are rigid and mediated by longresidency water molecules while there are several modest cation-binding sites around SRD. In summary, SRD is an unusually stiff rRNA building block. Its intrinsic structural and dynamical signatures seen in simulations are strikingly distinct from other rRNA motifs such as Loop E and Kink-turns. ER -
