Default Journal club: structure of the ternary Prp31:15.5K:U4 snRNA complex (1 reply)

Journal club: structure of the ternary Prp31:15.5K:U4 snRNA complex (1 reply)

I would like to start the “journal club” section of the NMR forum by presenting my favorite paper from the recent literature.

The paper (in this weeks issue of Science) is, in my opinion at least, a perfect example of the ability of NMR to contribute to the structural analysis of a challenging RNA-protein complex

I chose this high-impact paper because the combination of biochemistry, NMR, and crystallography on a ternary complex is how I would like to tackle a challenging project that I am working on.

The authors used chemical shift perturbation and saturation transfer to monitor the effect of titrating Prp31 into the preformed U4-15.5K RNA-protein complex. To do this the authors purified nitrogen-15 labeled and deuterated samples of the 15.5K construct. All of the proteins were produced in E.coli using well-established protocols. Gel filtration was used to purify the complexes to yield homogeneous samples

Subsequent crystallogrpahic analysis confirmed formation of the ternary complex and provides a rationale for how Prp31 contributes to the stability of the complex. The structural studies in combination with biochemical experiments yield valuable insights into spliceosome mechanism. NMR experiments such as the ones reported here are well within the reach of most laboratories with access to instrumentation and can be very powerful in lending confidence to subsequent crystallization experiments.

Your comments are welcome!

Michael.

Journal club: structural biology of HIV infection (0 replies) A recent paper in Science highlights once again the potential of NMR to yield insights into complex molecular recognition events in critical biological processes. In this case the authors used a combination of X-ray crystallography and NMR to probe the structure of the extracellular terminus of the CCR5 co-receptor which, in concert with human CD4 and HIV gp120, is crucial for viral entry. The authors applied challenging saturation transfer effects to study the structure of a small synthetic peptide in a ternary...

Journal club: recombinant RNA expression (0 replies) Recently I was thinking about my RNA project and wishing that I could express RNA in bacteria as is typically done for recombinant proteins. I looked at the July issue of Nature Methods to see a paper describing exactly the technology I was imagining. The authors created plasmids which allow the fusion of a target RNA sequence to a tRNA scaffold which is authenically processed by the cellular machinery and protected from degradation by the intrinsic stability of the tRNA. The potential benefits of this technology for NMR of RNA...
