The Chlamydomonas reinhardtii nucleic acid-binding protein 1 (NAB1) is a negative regulator of LHC protein translation. Its N-terminal cold shock domain (CSD) binds to a 13 nucleotide element (CSDCS) found in the mRNA of specific LHC proteins associated with photosystem II (PSII), an interaction which regulates LHC expression and consequently, PSII-associated antenna size, structure and function. Here we present the solution structure of the NAB1 CSD as determined by heteronuclear NMR. The CSD adopts a characteristic five-stranded anti-parallel beta-barrel fold. Upon addition of CSDCS RNA, a large number of NMR chemical shift perturbations were observed, corresponding primarily to surface-exposed residues within the highly conserved beta-2 and beta-3 strands in the canonical RNA binding region, but also to residues on beta-strand 5 extending the positive surface patch and the overall RNA binding site. Additional chemical shift perturbations that accompanied RNA binding involved buried residues, suggesting that transcript recognition is accompanied by conformational change. Our results indicate that NAB1 associates with RNA transcripts through a mechanism involving its CSD that is conserved with mechanisms of sequence-specific nucleic acid recognition employed by ancestrally-related bacterial cold shock proteins.
