Abstract excerpt
The complex of spliceosomal U1A protein and its cognate SL2 RNA is a prototype system for protein-RNA binding studies. A major question is whether U1A protein alone is capable of undergoing conformational dynamics similar to structural rearrangements upon RNA binding. Using a fast temperature jump and tryptophan fluorescence detection, we uncover a ∼20 μs conformational transition for the Lys22Gln/Phe56Trp-only...
