Schematic Diagrams

Simplified representations of components of nucleic acids have been designed and implemented as programs integrated with other software that draws schematic diagrams of proteins. Examples illustrating the structures of oligonucleotides, tRNA and a protein–nucleic acid complex indicate the utility of these representations for making intelligible illustrations of complex structures containing nucleic acids.

Growing numbers of protein and nucleic acid complex structures are being determined and deposited in the Protein Data Bank and the Nucleic Acid Database. With the increasing complexity of these structures, it is challenging to analyse and visualize the three-dimensional interactions. The currently available programs for such analysis and visualization are limited in their applications. They can only analyse a subset of protein–nucleic acid complexes and require multiple iterations before obtaining plots that are suitable for presentation. An interactive web-based program,NuProPlot(http://www.nuproplot.com), has been developed which can automatically identify hydrogen, electrostatic and van der Waals interactions between proteins and nucleic acids and generate a plot showing all of the interactions. Protein–DNA and protein–RNA interactions can be visualized in simple two-dimensional schematics. Interactive schematic drawing options allow selection of the plotted area and repositioning of the individual interactions for better legibility.NuProPlotis a fully automated and user-friendly program providing various custom options.NuProPlotrepresents a greatly improved option for analysis and presentation of protein–nucleic acid interactions.

Structural Insights

The crystal structures of protein–nucleic acid complexes are commonly determined using selenium-derivatized proteinsviaMAD or SAD phasing. Here, the first protein–nucleic acid complex structure determined using selenium-derivatized nucleic acids is reported. The RNase H–RNA/DNA complex is used as an example to demonstrate the proof of principle. The high-resolution crystal structure indicates that this selenium replacement results in a local subtle unwinding of the RNA/DNA substrate duplex, thereby shifting the RNA scissile phosphate closer to the transition state of the enzyme-catalyzed reaction. It was also observed that the scissile phosphate forms a hydrogen bond to the water nucleophile and helps to position the water molecule in the structure. Consistently, it was discovered that the substitution of a single O atom by a Se atom in a guide DNA sequence can largely accelerate RNase H catalysis. These structural and catalytic studies shed new light on the guide-dependent RNA cleavage.
