Download or read book Structure and Dynamics of RNA written by P. H. van Knippenberg and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-08 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains contributions from the speakers at the NATO Advanced Research Workshop on "3D 5tructure and Dynamics of RNA", which was held in Renesse, The Netherlands, 21 - 24 August, 1985. Two major developments have determined the progress of nucleic acid research during the last decade. First, manipulation of genetic material by recombinant DNA methodology has enabled detailed studies of the function of nucleic acids in vivo. 5econd, the use of powerful physical methods, such as X-ray diffraction and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, in the study of biomacromolecules has provided information regarding the structure and the dynamics of nucleic acids. Both developments were enabled by the advance of synthetic methods that allow preparation of nucleic acid molecules of required sequence and length. The basic understanding of nucleic acid function will ultimately depend on a close collaboration between molecular biologists and biophy sicists. In the case of RNA, the ground rules for the formation of secondary structure have been derived from physical studies of oligoribonucleotides. Powerfull spectroscopic techniques have revealed more details of ~~A structure including novel conformations (e.g. left-handed Z-RNA). A wealth of information has been obtained by studying the relatively small transfer RNA molecules. A few of these RNAs have been crystallized, enabling determination of their three-dimensional structure. It has become apparent that "non-classical" basepairing between distal nucleotides gives rise to tertiary interactions, determining the overall shape of the molecule.

This book was released on 1998-07-09 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: RNA-protein interactions play a fundamental role in gene expression and protein synthesis. Recent research into the role of RNA in cells has elucidated many more vital interactions with proteins. This book provides an up-to-date and comprehensive guide to a wide range of laboratory procedures to investigate the interactions between RNA and proteins. - ;RNA-protein interactions play a vital role in gene transcription and protein expression. Interactions such as the synthesis of mRNA by RNA polymerases, to the essential modification of RNA by the proteins of the spliceosome complex, and the highly catalytic action of the ribosome in protein synthesis, are established as being fundamental to the function of RNA. Recent research into, for example, the role of RNA as a catalyst, has elucidated many more interactions with proteins that are vital to cell function. RNA - Protein Interactions: A Practical Approach provides a clear and comprehensive guide to the experimental procedures used in studying RNA - protein interactions. The approaches covered range from those initially used to detect a novel RNA-protein interaction, various biochemical and genetic approaches to purifying and cloning RNA binding proteins, through to methods for an in depth analysis of the structural basis of the interaction. The volume includes a number of procedures that have not previously been covered in this type of manual. These include the production of site-specifically modified RNAs by enzymatic and chemical methods and in vivo screening for novel RNA - protein interactions in yeast and E. coli . This is the first volume to gather in one place this wide array of approaches for studying RNA - protein interactions. As is customary for the Practical Approach series, the writing is characterized by a clear explanatory style with many detailed protocols. This informative book will be a valuable aid to laboratory workers in biochemistry and molecular biology - graduate students, postdoctoral and senior scientists - whose research encompasses this field. -

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The molecular characterization of RNA and its interactions with proteins is an important and exciting area of current research. Organisms utilize a variety of RNA–protein interactions to regulate the expression of their genes. This is particularly true for eukaryotes, since newly synthesized messenger RNA must be extensively modified and transported to the cytoplasm before it can be used for protein synthesis. The realization that posttranscriptional processes are critical components of gene regulation has sparked an explosion of interest in both stable ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complexes and transient RNA–protein interactions. RNA is conformationally flexible and can adopt complex structures that provide diverse surfaces for interactions with proteins. The fact that short RNA molecules (aptamers; see Chapter 16) can be selected to bind many different types of molecules is evidence of the structural variability of RNA. RNA molecules are rarely entirely single- or double-stranded, but usually contain multiple short duplexes interrupted by single-stranded loops and bulges; in some RNAs, such as tRNAs, the short duplexes stack on each other. Further variability is generated by the presence of non-Watson-Crick base pairs, modified nucleotides, and more complex structures, such as pseudoknots and triple-strand interactions.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: RNA is a structurally flexible and dynamic molecule, and rapidly interconverts between multiple conformations. Despite the significant advances in traditional biophysical techniques like NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography it is difficult to resolve the structures of dynamically inter-converting states as these methods measure the average property of an ensemble of molecules. It is necessary to resolve and get detailed descriptions of the multiple conformational structures, their quantitative distribution and their related dynamics in order to understand the ruggedness of the energy landscape. The present study attempts to link the conformational dynamics of RNA to its structure and biological function. Ultrafast time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy is used to probe the distribution of multiple conformations and their dynamics that occur on a very fast timescales. This tool uses the resolution of time domain behavior of 2-aminopurine fluorescence decay on the ultrafast timescale to capture the characteristics of different structures. The RNAs are labeled with the fluorescent base analog 2-aminopurine to probe the base stacking patterns in RNA. Base stacking interactions is a unique feature that defines nucleic acid structures compared to proteins and are the major stabilizing force in RNA. Chapter 1 discusses the RNA folding mechanism and the relationships between sequence, structure, dynamics and function and explains the advantage of using ultrafast time resolved spectroscopy in defining structure-function relationships in RNA. Chapter 2 discusses the conformational heterogeneity and dynamics in purine-sensing riboswitches. We observed multiple conformations where the ligand is significantly stacked with the bases of the binding pocket and shows a dynamic balance between base stacking interactions and hydrogen bonding to achieve specificity and high affinity by the aptamer domain. Chapter 3 explores the conformational heterogeneity of GAAA tetraloop receptor and the impacts of the tertiary interactions between the receptor and the GAAA tetraloop, where we probe the isolated and GAAA-tetraloop bound receptor. The presence of any bound conformation in the free receptor state leads us to propose the conformational capture mechanism in tetraloop-receptor recognition. Chapter 4 summarizes findings of employing the ultrafast spectroscopy approach in studying riboswitches and the GAAA tetraloop-receptor. Overall our research is an effort to understand the role of conformational dynamics in RNA folding, tertiary interactions, recognition and functions.
