Direct, sequence-specific binding of the human U1-70K ribonucleoprotein antigen protein to loop I of U1 small nuclear RNA
Abstract
We have studied the interaction of two of the U1 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (snRNP)-specific proteins, U1-70K and U1-A, with U1 small nuclear RNA (snRNA). The U1-70K protein is a U1-specific RNA-binding protein. Deletion and mutation analyses of a beta-galactosidase/U1-70K partial fusion protein indicated that the central portion of the protein, including the RNP sequence domain, is both necessary and sufficient for specific U1 snRNA binding in vitro. The highly conserved eight-amino-acid RNP consensus sequence was found to be essential for binding. Deletion and mutation analyses of U1 snRNA showed that both the U1-70K fusion protein and the native HeLa U1-70K protein bound directly to loop I of U1 snRNA. Binding was sequence specific, requiring 8 of the 10 bases in the loop. The U1-A snRNP protein also interacted specifically with U1 snRNA, principally with stem-loop II.
