TY - JOUR ID - 634034 AU - Mokdad, Ali - Krasovska, Maryna - Šponer, Jiří - Leontis, Neocles B. PY - 2006 TI - Structural and evolutionary classification of G/U wobble basepairs in the ribosome JF - Nucleic Acids Research VL - 34 IS - 5 SP - 1326-1341 EP - 1326-1341 PB - Oxford University Press SN - 00063465 KW - molecular dynamics KW - G/U wobble basepairs KW - RNA UR - www.oxfordjournals.org N2 - We present a comprehensive structural, evolutionary and molecular dynamics (MD) study of the G/U wobble basepairs in the ribosome based on highresolution crystal structures, including the recent Escherichia coli structure. These basepairs are classified according to their tertiary interactions, and sequence conservation at their positions is determined. G/U basepairs participating in tertiary interactions are more conserved than those lacking any interactions. Specific interactions occurring in the G/Ushallowgroove pocketlike packinginteractions (P-interactions) and some phosphate backbone interactions (phosphate-in-pocket interactions) lead to higher G/U conservation than others. Two salient cases of unique phylogenetic compensation are discovered. First, a P-interaction is conserved through a series of compensatory mutations involving all four participating nucleotides to preserve or restore the G/U in the optimal orientation. Second, a G/U basepair forming a P-interaction and another one forming a phosphate-in-pocket interaction are replaced by GNRA loops that maintain similar tertiary contacts. MD simulations were carried out on eight P-interactions. The specific GU/CG signature of this interaction observed in structure and sequence analysis was rationalized, and can now be used for improving sequence alignments. ER -
