摘要

The hok/sok system of plasmid R1, which mediates plasmid stabilization by killing of plasmid-free segregants, codes for two RNA species, Hok mRNA and Sok antisense RNA. The lethal expression of hok is inhibited post-transcriptionally by the 67 nt Sok-RNA. In this paper, we analyse the secondary structure of Sok-RNA and the binding of Sok-RNA to Hok mRNA in vitro. The reaction between the two RNAs leads to the formation of a complete duplex in which Sok-RNA is hybridized over its entire length to Hok mRNA. The second-order rate constant of duplex formation was determined to be approximately 1 x 10(5) M-1s-1. Mutations in the 5'-end single-stranded leader of Sok-RNA severely reduced the binding rate to wt Hok mRNA, whereas loop mutations in Sok-RNA had no such effect. The reduced binding rates were paralleled by abolished in vivo regulatory properties. These results suggest that, unlike in other well-characterized antisense/target RNA systems, the initial recognition reaction between Sok-RNA and Hok mRNA takes place between the single-stranded 5'-end of Sok-RNA and the complementary region in Hok mRNA, without the involvement of an antisense loop in the initial binding step. Furthermore, the finding that Sok-RNA competes with the 3'-end of full-length Hok mRNA for binding to the mok translational initiation region adds to the complexity of killer gene regulation.
