ABSTRACTThe RNA guanine-7 methyltransferase (RNMT) in complex with RNMT-Activating Miniprotein (RAM) catalyses the formation of a N7-methylated guanosine cap structure on the 5’ end of nascent RNA polymerase II transcripts. The mRNA cap protects the transcript from exonucleases and recruits cap-binding complexes that mediate RNA processing, export and translation. By using microsecond standard and accelerated molecular dynamics simulations, we provide for the first time a detailed molecular mechanism of allosteric regulation of RNMT by RAM. We show that RAM selects the RNMT active site conformations that are optimal for binding of substrates (AdoMet and the cap), thus enhancing their affinity. Furthermore, our results strongly suggest the likely scenario in which the cap binding promotes the subsequent AdoMet binding, consistent with the previously suggested cooperative binding model. By employing the dynamic network and community analyses, we revealed the underlying long-range allosteric networks and paths that are crucial for allosteric regulation by RAM. Our findings complement and explain previous experimental data on RNMT activity. Moreover, this study provides the most complete description of the cap and AdoMet binding poses and interactions within the enzyme’s active site. This information is critical for the drug discovery efforts that consider RNMT as a promising anti-cancer target.

First Time

Atomistic molecular dynamics simulations have been used, apparently for the first time, to investigate the anchoring behavior of a liquid crystal at the interface with an amorphous polymer. The simulations studied a system consisting of the nematogen 5CB at the surface of amorphous polyethylene, and used the simple Dreiding II force field. The simulations indicate a preference for nonplanar anchoring. Two distinct microscopic paths have been identified by which the liquid crystal changes orientation at the surface. In one case, only one or a few of the 5CB molecules are rotating at any particular time. In the other case, a substantial fraction of the molecules rotate simultaneously.
