摘要

Site-directed spin labeling utilizes site-specific attachment of a stable nitroxide radical to probe the structure and dynamics of macromolecules. In the present study, a 4-thiouridine base in introduced at each of six different positions in a 23-nucleotide RNA molecule. The 4-thiouridine derivatives were subsequently modified with one of three methanethiosulfonate nitroxide reagnets to introduce a spin label at specific sites. The electron paramagnetic resonance spectra of the labeled RNAs were analyzed in terms of nitroxide motion and the RNA solution structure. At a base-paired site in the RNA helix, where the nitroxide has weak or no local interactions, motion of the nitroxide is apparently dominated by rotation about bonds within the probe. The motion is simialr to that found for a structurally related probe on helical sites in proteins, suggesting a similar mode of motion. At other sites that the hydrogen bonded and stacked within the helix, local interactions within the RNA molecule modulate the nitroxide motion in a manner consistent with expectations based on the known structure. For a base taht is not structurally constrianed, the mobility is higher than at any other site, presumably due to motion of the base itself. These results demonstrate the general utility fo the 4-thiouridine/methanethiosulfonate coupling method to introduce nitroxide spin lables into RNA and the ability of the resulting label to probe local structure and dynamics.
