ProXp-ala binding to tRNAPro is sensitive to changes in A76. (A) Left: schematic of RNA duplex variants used in EMSA assays where one strand is fluorescently labeled at the 3′ end. Right: Results of EMSA binding assays plotting fraction of bound RNA as a function of ProXp-ala concentration; A76 (WT, green), ΔA76 (blue) and 3′pΔA76 (orange). Lines are Hill equation fits to the data; error bars are standard deviation of three replicates. (B) Overlaid 1H-15N HSQC spectra for the amide nitrogens of Glu30 (top) and Lys71 (bottom) illustrate decreased CSPs upon A76 mutations: Free [U-15N]-ProXp-ala (black), [U-15N]-ProXp-ala in the presence of the ΔA76-microhelixPro (blue), 3′pΔA76-microhelixPro (orange), or WT (A76) microhelixPro (green). The arrows indicate the CSPs observed upon WT microhelixPro binding to free ProXp-ala.
