Nucleic acids

Nucleic acids are the most important macromolecules for the continuity of life. They carry the cell's genetic blueprint and carry instructions for its functioning.
DNA and RNA
The two main types of nucleic acids are deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). DNA is the genetic material in all living organisms, ranging from single-celled bacteria to multicellular mammals. It is in the nucleus of eukaryotes and in the organelles, chloroplasts, and mitochondria. In prokaryotes, the...

RNA Structure

Overview
The basic structure of RNA consists of a five-carbon sugar and one of four nitrogenous bases. Although most RNA is single-stranded, it can form complex secondary and tertiary structures. Such structures play essential roles in the regulation of transcription and translation.
Different Types of RNA Have the Same Basic Structure
There are three main types of ribonucleic acid (RNA): messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), and ribosomal RNA (rRNA). All three RNA types consist of a...

RNA Structure

The basic structure of RNA consists of a string of ribonucleotides attached by phosphodiester bonds. Although most RNA is single-stranded, it can form complex secondary and tertiary structures. Such structures play essential roles in the regulation of transcription and translation.

Nucleic Acid Structure

The pentose sugar in DNA is deoxyribose, while in RNA the pentose sugar is ribose. The difference between the sugars is the presence of the hydroxyl group on the ribose's second carbon and a hydrogen on the deoxyribose's second carbon. The phosphate residue attaches to the hydroxyl group of the 5′ carbon of one sugar and the hydroxyl group of the 3′ carbon of the sugar of the next nucleotide, which forms  a 5′ to 3′ phosphodiester linkage.
DNA Structure
DNA has a double-helix structure. The...

Área de la Ciencia:

  • Biología Molecular Biología Molecular
  • Biología Estructural Biología estructural.
  • La bioquímica es la bioquímica.

Sus antecedentes:

  • La secuencia CCA 3'-terminal del ARN de transferencia (ARNt) es crítica para la síntesis de proteínas.
  • La enzima de adición de CCA, una polimerasa de ARN independiente de la plantilla, sintetiza esta secuencia utilizando CTP y ATP.
  • El mecanismo de la síntesis CCA independiente de la plantilla sigue siendo poco comprendido.

Objetivo del estudio:

  • Para dilucidar el mecanismo de la polimerización de ARN independiente de la plantilla por la enzima de adición de CCA.
  • Proporcionar conocimientos estructurales sobre la selección y adición de nucleótidos.
  • Para entender cómo la enzima logra la especificidad de la secuencia sin una plantilla de ácido nucleico.

Principales métodos:

  • Cristalografía de rayos X de la enzima agregadora de CCA de Aquifex aeolicus.
  • Co-cristalización con un primer tRNA y un análogo de ATP.
  • Mutagénesis dirigida al sitio y análisis bioquímico.

Principales resultados:

  • Estructura cristalina de la enzima de adición de CCA unida al tRNA y al análogo de ATP a una resolución de 2,8 Å.
  • El bolsillo catalítico de la enzima forma una "plantilla de proteína" que reconoce el C74-C75.5 del tRNA.
  • La estructura revela una etapa de "preinserción" de la selección de nucleótidos.
  • Los estudios de mutagenesis apoyan el mecanismo propuesto.

Conclusiones:

  • La enzima de adición de CCA utiliza una plantilla de proteína para guiar la síntesis de la secuencia CCA 3'-terminal.
  • Este estudio estructural proporciona una base mecanicista para la polimerización de ARN independiente de la plantilla.
  • Los hallazgos ofrecen información sobre la maduración del tRNA y la síntesis de proteínas.
