DNA bending and sequence-dependent backbone conformation NMR and computer experiments

Although DNA bending plays a crucial role in several biological processes, very little is known experimentally about the relationship between sugar phosphate conformation and sequence directed bending. In this paper, we determine the coupling constants for a nonself-complementary 11-mer A-tract DNA duplex from 2D NMR experiments and along each chain of the duplex, we report the sugar pucker, torsional preferences and conformational averaging about the C3'-O3', C4'-C5' and C5'-O5' bonds for each nucleotide. The A-tract exists as an equilibrium blend of canonical B-form and noncanonical B-form in which the exocyclic C4'-C5' bond is in trans conformation as in the original Watson-Crick model [Crick, F.H.C. & Watson, J.D. (1954) Proc. Roy. Soc. (London), A223, 80-96]. The trans conformation at the C4'-C5' can increase the interphosphate distance and lead to local unwinding of the duplex and rolling of the base pair into the major groove. This will create a kink or hinge. At the 3'-end of the A-tract in the purine-thymine step, the duplex is compressed by the presence of a junction between A and B forms of DNA exclusively in one strand, with consequent reduction of the phosphate-phosphate distance. The coupling constant data seriously disagree with the A-tract DNA bending model of Crothers [Koo, H.-S., Wu, H.-M. & Crothers, D.M. (1986) Nature 320, 501-506], but is in agreement with the finding of Leroy et al. [Leroy, J.-L., Charretier, E., Kochoyan, M. & Gueron, M. (1988) Biochemistry 27, 8894-8898] that the structure that drives bending in the A-tract is locally different from B-DNA. Structural distortions are extremely localized with little or no propagation. It is likely that transcription factor proteins recognize these preexisting deformations in the free DNA itself and mold it into the matrix of the protein.

Prediction of Xaa-Pro peptide bond conformation from sequence and chemical shifts Abstract We present a program, named Promega, to predict the Xaa-Pro peptide bond conformation on the basis of backbone chemical shifts and the amino acid sequence. Using a chemical shift database of proteins of known structure together with the PDB-extracted amino acid preference of cis Xaa-Pro peptide bonds, a cis/trans probability score is calculated from the backbone and 13Cβ chemical shifts of the proline and its neighboring residues. For an arbitrary number of input chemical shifts, which may include Pro-13Cγ, Promega calculates the statistical probability that a Xaa-Pro peptide bond...	nmrlearner	Journal club	0	08-14-2010 04:19 AM
