Abstract

Imino ¹H-¹⁵N residual dipolar couplings (RDCs) provide additional structural information that complements standard ¹H-¹H NOEs leading to improvements in both the local and global structure of RNAs. Here, we report measurement of imino ¹H-¹H RDCs for the Iron Responsive Element (IRE) RNA and native E. coli tRNA^Val using a BEST-Jcomp-HMQC2 experiment. ¹H-¹H RDCs are observed between the imino protons in G-U wobble base pairs and between imino protons on neighboring base pairs in both RNAs. These imino ¹H- ¹H RDCs complement standard ¹H-¹⁵N RDCs because the ¹H-¹H vectors generally point along the helical axis, roughly perpendicular to ¹H- ¹⁵N RDCs. The use of longitudinal relaxation enhancement increased the signal-to-noise of the spectra by ∼3.5-fold over the standard experiment. The ability to measure imino ¹H- ¹H RDCs offers a new restraint, which can be used in NMR domain orientation and structural studies of RNAs.
