ssRNA–helix junction stacking interactions and comparison to a preQ1 riboswitch aptamer domain. (A) Comparison of 2D 1H-13C HSQC spectra (C6H6 and C8H8) for E-SS (black) and E-SSshort (green) allows assignment of ssRNA–helix junction residues. (B) 2D 1H-1H NOESY spectra of E-SSshort show NOE connectivities between the terminal G1-C14 base pair and ssRNA–helix junction, indicating ssRNA residues stack on the helix. (C) Comparison of 2D 1H-13C HSQC spectra (aromatic C6H6 and C8H8 and ribose C1′H1′) of E-SS (black) to Bsu preQ1-I riboswitch in the absence (cyan) and presence (purple) of preQ1 ligand. Additional adenine resonances that were unaccounted for are indicated using an asterisk.
