Here we show that 9 bp long stems ending with AGAA or AGUC tetraloops bind to Rnt1p and direct specific but sequence-independent RNA cleavage when provided with stems longer than 13 bp. The solution structures of these two tetraloops reveal a common fold for the terminal loop stabilized by non-canonical A-A or A-C pairs and extensive base stacking. The conserved nucleotides are stacked at the 5' side of the loop, exposing their Watson-Crick and Hoogsteen faces for recognition by Rnt1p. These results indicate that yeast RNase III recognizes the fold of a conserved single-stranded tetraloop to direct specific dsRNA cleavage.
