Figure 1. Overview of Substrate-Bound H/ACA RNP Structures
(A) Secondary structure of H/ACA RNA1 with substrate RNA bound at the pseudouridylation pocket. The lower (P1) and upper (P2) stems, substrate-guide helices PS1 and PS2, and the lower (J1) and upper (J2) three-way junctions are indicated. Base pair symbols are depicted according to a previous rule (Leontis and Westhof, 2001). Hollow letters represent disordered residues in the Gar-minus structure. Prime denotes substrate RNA.
(B) Ribbon representation of the substrate-bound Gar1-minus H/ACA RNP structure, showing Cbf5 PUA domain in light green; Cbf5 catalytic (Cat) domain in dark green; Nop10 in magenta; L7Ae in blue; substrate RNA in purple; guide sequences in orange; the ACA motif, kink-turn motif, and target nucleotide in red; and the remainder of the H/ACA RNA in yellow. The target nucleotide is shown as sticks.
(C) SIGMAA-weighted 2F[o] − F[c] electron density map of the Gar1-minus complex. The 2.1 Å map is contoured at 1 σ. The refined structure is shown as sticks with carbon atoms colored in pink, oxygen in red, nitrogen in blue, phosphorus in orange, and magnesium in green.
(D) The substrate-bound full-complex structure represented as Cα or P traces. The solvent-modified 5 Å electron density map contoured at 1 σ is indicated. Gar1 is colored cyan, and other parts are color coded as in Figure 1B. A symmetry-related molecule, colored in gray, forms a self-duplex with the 5′ extension of H/ACA RNA2.
