SOLUTION STRUCTURE OF A 16 BASE-PAIR DNA RELATED TO THE HIV-1 KAPPA B SITE
|
Overview
1H and 31P NMR spectroscopy have been used together with molecular, modelling to determine the fine structure of a non-palindromic 16 bp DNA, containing the NF-kappa B binding site. Much emphasis has been placed upon, NMR optimization of both two-dimensional 31P NMR techniques to extract, structural information defining the phosphodiester backbone conformation, and selective homonuclear 2D COSY experiments to determine sugar, conformations. NMR data show evidence for a dynamic behaviour of steps, flanking the ten base-pairs of the NF-kappa B binding site. A BI-BII, equilibrium at these steps is demonstrated and two models for each extreme, conformation are proposed in agreement with NMR data. In the refined BII, structures, the NF-kappa B binding site exhibits an intrinsic curvature, towards the major groove that is magnified by the four flanking steps in, the BII conformation. Furthermore, the base-pairs are translated into the, major groove. Thus, we present a novel mode of dynamic intrinsic curvature, compatible with the DNA curvature observed in the X-ray structure of the, p50-DNA complex.
