Chemical shift assignments of dsRBD1 and linker region of R2D2, a siRNA binding protein in the Drosophila RNAi pathway
Tóm tắt
In the model organism Drosophila melanogaster, one of the Dicer homologs, Dcr-2, initiates the RNA interference pathway by cleaving long double-stranded RNA into small interfering RNA (siRNA). The Dcr-2:R2D2 heterodimer subsequently binds to the 21-nucleotide siRNA to form the R2D2:Dcr-2 Initiator (RDI) complex, which is critical for initiating the assembly of the RNA-induced silencing complex containing guide siRNA strand. During RDI complex formation, R2D2 senses the stability of the 5′ end of the siRNA and a 5′-phosphate group, although the underlying mechanism of siRNA asymmetry sensing and 5′-phosphate recognition by R2D2 is elusive. In this study, we present nearly complete chemical shift assignments of the backbone and the side chain of a construct that comprises the N-terminus dsRBD1 and linker of R2D2 (~ 10.3 kDa; henceforth: R2D2D1L). Our study would further aid in the structural and functional characterization of R2D2.
