'''Crystal Structure Analysis of a Ternary S-Domain Complex of Human Signal Recognition Particle'''<br />


==Overview==
==Overview==
The eukaryotic signal recognition particle (SRP) is a cytoplasmic, ribonucleoprotein particle that targets secretory and membrane proteins to, the endoplasmic reticulum. The binding of SRP54 to the S domain of 7SL RNA, is highly dependent on SRP19. Here we present the crystal structure of a, human SRP ternary complex consisting of SRP19, the M domain of SRP54 and, the S domain of 7SL RNA. Upon binding of the M domain of SRP54 to the 7SL, RNA-SRP19 complex, the asymmetric loop of helix 8 in 7SL RNA collapses., The bases of the four nucleotides in the long strand of the asymmetric, loop continuously stack and interact with the M domain, whereas the two, adenines in the short strand flip out and form two A-minor motifs with, helix 6. This stabilizing interaction is only possible when helix 6 has, been positioned parallel to helix 8 by the prior binding of SRP19 to the, tetraloops of helices 6 and 8. Hence, the crystal structure of the ternary, complex suggests why SRP19 is necessary for the stable binding of SRP54 to, the S domain RNA.
