Abstract excerpt
Signal recognition particle (SRP) RNA exhibits significant primary sequence conservation only in domain IV, a bulged hairpin capped by a GNRA (N, any nucleotide; R, purine) tetranucleotide loop except in plant homologs. Tetraloops conforming to this sequence or to the consensus UNCG enhance the stability of synthetic RNA hairpins and have strikingly similar three-dimensional structures. To determine the...
