Abstract
Influenza A is an RNA virus with
a genome of eight negative sense
segments. Segment 7 mRNA contains a 3′ splice site for alternative
splicing to encode the essential M2 protein. On the basis of sequence
alignment and chemical mapping experiments, the secondary structure
surrounding the 3′ splice site has an internal loop, adenine
bulge, and hairpin loop when it is in the hairpin conformation that
exposes the 3′ splice site. We report structural features of
a three-dimensional model of the hairpin derived from nuclear magnetic
resonance spectra and simulated annealing with restrained molecular
dynamics. Additional insight was provided by modeling based on 1H chemical shifts. The internal loop containing the 3′
splice site has a dynamic guanosine and a stable imino (

<p>Influenza A is an RNA virus with
a genome of eight negative sense
segments. Segment 7 mRNA contains a 3′ splice site for alternative
splicing to encode the essential M2 protein. On the basis of sequence
alignment and chemical mapping experiments, the secondary structure
surrounding the 3′ splice site has an internal loop, adenine
bulge, and hairpin loop when it is in the hairpin conformation that
exposes the 3′ splice site. We report structural features of
a three-dimensional model of the hairpin derived from nuclear magnetic
resonance spectra and simulated annealing with restrained molecular
dynamics. Additional insight was provided by modeling based on <sup>1</sup>
H chemical shifts. The internal loop containing the 3′
splice site has a dynamic guanosine and a stable imino (<italic>cis</italic>
Watson–Crick/Watson–Crick) GA pair. The adenine bulge
also appears to be dynamic with the A either stacked in the stem or
forming a base triple with a Watson–Crick GC pair. The hairpin
loop is a GAAA tetraloop closed by an AC pair.</p>

<p>Influenza A is an RNA virus with
a genome of eight negative sense
segments. Segment 7 mRNA contains a 3′ splice site for alternative
splicing to encode the essential M2 protein. On the basis of sequence
alignment and chemical mapping experiments, the secondary structure
surrounding the 3′ splice site has an internal loop, adenine
bulge, and hairpin loop when it is in the hairpin conformation that
exposes the 3′ splice site. We report structural features of
a three-dimensional model of the hairpin derived from nuclear magnetic
resonance spectra and simulated annealing with restrained molecular
dynamics. Additional insight was provided by modeling based on <sup>1</sup>
H chemical shifts. The internal loop containing the 3′
splice site has a dynamic guanosine and a stable imino (<italic>cis</italic>
Watson–Crick/Watson–Crick) GA pair. The adenine bulge
also appears to be dynamic with the A either stacked in the stem or
forming a base triple with a Watson–Crick GC pair. The hairpin
loop is a GAAA tetraloop closed by an AC pair.</p>

The largest influenza pandemic, known as the
Spanish flu (H1N1, 1918–1919), killed as many as 40–50
million people worldwide.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref3">3</xref>

Lesser pandemics

(H1N1, 1977) flus.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref3">3</xref>
</sup>
Available drugs are
neuraminidase inhibitors and M2 ion channel blockers (adamantanes).<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref4">4</xref>
</sup>
However, the emergence of influenza strains with
resistance to both classes of drugs, especially neuraminidase inhibitors,<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref5">5</xref>
,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref6">6</xref>
</sup>
has led to interest in identifying new antiviral therapeutics.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref7">7</xref>
</sup>
Antiviral agents may selectively target viral
RNA structure with small molecules,<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref8">8</xref>
−<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref10">10</xref>

or synthetic peptides.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref12">12</xref>

</p>
<p>The influenza A genome consists of eight segments of negative
sense
vRNA, which encode at least 11 proteins.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref13">13</xref>
</sup>
A pandemic of influenza occurs when RNA segments of human and animal
viruses reassort to give rise to new strains to which humans have
no immunity.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref13">13</xref>
</sup>
The extreme ends of each
segment are highly conserved and base pair to form a promoter for
RNA synthesis.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref13">13</xref>
</sup>
</p>
<p>With bioinformatics
approaches, Moss et al.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref14">14</xref>
</sup>
identified conserved
and stably folded secondary structures
of influenza A mRNAs. Three of the secondary structures have been
confirmed by chemical mapping,<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref15">15</xref>
,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref16">16</xref>
</sup>
and a fourth was found
to fold into a hairpin rather than a predicted multibranch loop.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref17">17</xref>
</sup>
Two of the conserved secondary structures contain
the 3′ splice site of segment 7 mRNA. Segment 7 encodes the
essential M1 and M2 and/or M42 proteins.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref18">18</xref>
,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref19">19</xref>
</sup>
An equilibrium between a two-hairpin folding and a pseudoknot folding
may regulate expression of M1 and M2 and/or M42<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref15">15</xref>
,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref19">19</xref>
</sup>
(Figure <xref rid="fig1" ref-type="fig">1</xref>
). For example, the equilibrium
populations of these conformations may depend on factors in the cellular
environment such as pH, protein binding, or the presence of metabolites.
In chemical mapping experiments on the two-hairpin model of the 3′
splice site of segment 7 mRNA (Figure <xref rid="fig1" ref-type="fig">1</xref>
), the
smaller hairpin, 14 nucleotides (nt), is dynamic on the basis of high
reactivity to enzymes and small molecules.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref15">15</xref>

Herein, we report the NMR structure of the consensus sequence of
the larger hairpin, 37 nt, containing the 3′ splice site (Figure <xref rid="fig1" ref-type="fig">1</xref>

<sec id="sec2.1"><title>Preparation of 39 nt Hairpin
Samples</title>
<p>Milligram quantities
of a 39 nt construct containing the segment 7 hairpin (Figure <xref rid="fig1" ref-type="fig">1</xref>
) were prepared with <italic>in vitro</italic>
transcription
by T7 RNA polymerase.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref20">20</xref>
</sup>
T7 RNA polymerase
was synthesized from a plasmid supplied by B. S. Tolbert (Case Western
Reserve University, Cleveland, OH) and purified via nickel column
affinity chromatography.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref21">21</xref>
</sup>
A pUC18 plasmid
containing an insert for the RNA sequence was constructed and purified
from <italic>Escherichia coli</italic>
competent cells with standard
plasmid preparation protocols (see the <xref rid="notes-2" ref-type="notes">Supporting
Information</xref>
for the plasmid construct). The 5′ tail
of the hairpin was replaced with a 5′ GG dinucleotide to enhance
the efficiency of transcription initiation.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref22">22</xref>
</sup>
The plasmid was linearized with EcoRV-HF restriction endonuclease
(New England BioLabs) at 37 °C prior to <italic>in vitro</italic>
transcription. Transcription mixtures typically consisted of 25
mM Mg<sup>2+</sup>
, 1 mg/mL DNA template, rNTPs (12–13 mM each),
40 mM DTT, and 0.65–0.70 mg/mL T7 RNA polymerase at pH 7.5–8.0.
After transcription mixtures had been incubated for 2 h at 37 °C,
2.5 μL of 0.5 M EDTA and 6 μL of 50% glycerol were added
for every 30 μL of transcription mixture to stop reactions.
Transcription mixtures were purified via FPLC using three 5 mL HiTrap
DEAE Sepharose FF columns (GE Healthcare) connected in series.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref23">23</xref>
</sup>
FPLC fractions with purified RNA were concentrated
and then exchanged with an Amicon Ultra-15 Centrifugal Filter Unit
(EMD Millipore) into NMR buffer [80 mM KCl, 20 mM KH<sub>2</sub>
PO<sub>4</sub>
/K<sub>2</sub>
HPO<sub>4</sub>
, and 0.02 mM Na<sub>2</sub>
EDTA
(pH 6.0)] to yield 3.8 mg of RNA. The final NMR sample had 1.1 mM
RNA in 300 μL, including 15 μL of D<sub>2</sub>
O to provide
a lock signal.</p>
<p>A second sample of the 39 nt hairpin was synthesized
from the linearized plasmid template with T7 High Yield RNA Synthesis
Kits (New England BioLabs). This sample was initially purified via
FPLC and concentrated, as described above. The second sample was further
purified via denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, extracted
from gels via electroelution, concentrated, and exchanged into NMR
buffer.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref24">24</xref>
</sup>
The final NMR sample had 1.4
mM RNA in 400 μL of NMR buffer, including 15 μL of D<sub>2</sub>
O. NMR spectra for the two samples were essentially identical.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="sec2.2"><title>Design of 11 nt Hairpin and 19 nt Duplex Model Mimics</title>
<p>The
relatively large size of the 39 nt hairpin resulted in spectral
overlap of resonances that made resonance assignments difficult. To
aid resonance assignments, two smaller model constructs were assembled:
(1) a 19 nt duplex RNA corresponding to the 2 nt × 2 nt internal
loop region and (2) an 11 nt RNA corresponding to the hairpin loop
region (Figure <xref rid="fig1" ref-type="fig">1</xref>
). In the 19-mer duplex, the
residue that corresponds to U14 of the 39-mer was substituted with
cytidine to stabilize formation of the intended heterodimer over a
homodimer (Figure S1 of the <xref rid="notes-2" ref-type="notes">Supporting Information</xref>
). The 11 nt hairpin and the bottom strand of the 19 nt duplex each
have a 3′ dangling nucleotide to stabilize their helices.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref25">25</xref>
,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref26">26</xref>
</sup>
</p>
</sec>
<sec id="sec2.3"><title>Preparation of Model Mimic Samples</title>
<p>Oligoribonucleotides
were purchased from Integrated DNA Technologies, Inc. (IDT), and dissolved
in 315 μL of NMR buffer, including 15 μL of D<sub>2</sub>
O. The highest concentration of r(5′CCAGAAACGGA)
was 4.0 mM. The final concentration of the duplex, r(5′GCAGGCCCA)
+ r(5′UGGGAGUGCA), was
1.0 mM. MgCl<sub>2</sub>
was added to each sample to a final concentration
of 5 mM.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="sec2.4"><title>NMR Spectroscopy</title>
<p>NMR spectra of samples in Shigemi
NMR tubes (Shigemi, Inc.) were acquired on Varian Inova 500 and 600
MHz spectrometers. For samples in H<sub>2</sub>
O, one-dimensional
spectra were recorded for all constructs at a series of temperatures,
with a 1–1–echo pulse to suppress the water signal.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref27">27</xref>
</sup>
For 2D spectra, a WATERGATE pulse with flipback<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref28">28</xref>
,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref29">29</xref>
</sup>
or an S-pulse<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref30">30</xref>
</sup>
was applied during acquisition
to suppress the water signal. 2D NOESY spectra with different mixing
times were acquired at −2 and 20 °C for all constructs
and at additional temperatures for the two smaller constructs. 2D
TOCSY spectra were acquired with mixing times between 30 and 50 ms
for all constructs. Imino chemical exchange peaks of the 39-mer were
detected with a 2D ROESY experiment, where their sign is the opposite
of that of peaks arising from direct cross-relaxation.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref31">31</xref>
</sup>
2D NOESY spectra<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref32">32</xref>
</sup>
were acquired on the smaller constructs in D<sub>2</sub>
O at a series
of temperatures to overcome ambiguities due to overlaps.</p>
<p>Proton
chemical shifts were referenced internally to the frequency of water,
with 2,2-dimethylsilapentane-5-sulfonic acid (DSS) as the external
reference standard, and carbon chemical shifts were referenced indirectly
to DSS on the basis of the absolute proton frequency according to
Biological Magnetic Resonance Data Bank (BMRB) standards.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref31">31</xref>

<sec id="sec3.2"><title>Methods for Obtaining NOE Restraints</title>
<p>Most distance
restraints for pairs of hydrogen atoms were obtained by integrating
NOE volumes with SPARKY.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref35">35</xref>
</sup>
Some that were
difficult to integrate were manually assigned to a range of distances
based on the relative size of their NOEs. NOE volumes were converted
to distance restraints by referencing to volumes from fixed distances:
H2′–H1′ (2.75 Å), H4′–H1′
(3.35 Å), pyrimidine H5–H6 (2.45 Å), cytosine H42–H41
(1.75 Å), cytosine H41–guanine H1 in a CG pair (2.70 Å),
and adenine H2–uracil H3 in an AU pair (2.85 Å). Hydrogen
bonds between bases were restrained to 2.1 ± 0.3 Å for all
canonical base pairs. H1′–H2′ scalar coupling
information was used to restrain all canonically base paired residues
to the C3′-endo conformation. The χ dihedral angle was
held between 170° and 340° (<italic>anti</italic>
) for all
residues except G10, where NMR evidence indicates that it is flexible.</p>
<p>In general, if an NOE in equivalent chemical environments is present
in spectra of the 39 nt hairpin and either smaller construct, a distance
restraint was obtained from the smaller construct to reduce complications
of peak overlap. Because of different chemical environments, NOEs
from the 39 nt hairpin were used for distance restraints rather than
terminal residues G7, A15, U27, and A36 in the 19 nt duplex and C16
and A26 in the 11 nt hairpin. Intraresidue NOE volumes from those
residues, however, were used to calculate reference distances for
the 19 nt duplex and 11 nt hairpin. Restraints were also not obtained
from C14 in the 19-mer duplex because the C14-G28 pair is structurally
different from the U14-G28 pair in the 39-mer. Restraints for the
11-mer and 19-mer duplex constructs were obtained from spectra acquired
with Mg<sup>2+</sup>
present because they generally had narrower and
better-resolved cross-peaks that could be more accurately integrated.</p>

<p>A cross-peak between resonances
at 12.41 and 12.69 ppm in a NOESY
spectrum at −2 °C was determined from a ROESY spectrum
to be a chemical exchange peak for G34H1. The primary G34H1 peak lies
at 12.69 ppm. The secondary peak overlaps with G7H1 (Figure <xref rid="fig2" ref-type="fig">2</xref>
). The A15H2–U27H3 cross-peak is weak because
of solvent exchange (Figure S4 of the <xref rid="notes-2" ref-type="notes">Supporting
Information</xref>
). The G24H1 peak was assigned to 11.92 ppm in the
−2 °C NOESY spectrum based on cross-peaks to C17 amino
protons (Figure S4 of the <xref rid="notes-2" ref-type="notes">Supporting Information</xref>
) but is missing from the 20 °C NOESY spectrum. The G25H1 peak
was assigned to 12.41 ppm in the 20 °C NOESY spectrum on the
basis of cross-peaks to C16 amino protons but could not be identified
in the −2 °C NOESY spectrum. These assignments indicate
that C16 and G25, in addition to C17 and G24, form Watson–Crick
base pairs, though an NOE between G24H1 and G25H1 could not be identified.</p>
<p>The U5H3 resonance is overlapped with the G24H1 peak. U27H3 appears
as a shoulder to the G7/G34 peak. Resonances corresponding to G11H1
and G19H1 were identified at 13.0–13.1 and 10.4–10.5
ppm, respectively (<italic>vide infra</italic>
). The resonance at
10.8 ppm was assigned to G10H1 and/or G32H1, and their presence indicates
that they are at least partially protected from solvent exchange.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref54">54</xref>
</sup>
Only the solvent-exposed G1 and G2 could not
be located in any imino proton spectrum.</p>
<p>The imino proton NOEs
(Figure <xref rid="fig2" ref-type="fig">2</xref>
) are consistent
with the predicted secondary structure (Figure <xref rid="fig1" ref-type="fig">1</xref>
). Thus, hydrogen bonding restraints for each type of canonical base
pair predicted in the secondary structure were applied during structure
modeling.</p>
<p>Assignments of nonexchangeable protons in the 39-mer
(Table S2
of the <xref rid="notes-2" ref-type="notes">Supporting Information</xref>
) were facilitated
by spectra of the smaller constructs (Figure <xref rid="fig3" ref-type="fig">3</xref>
), and there was a high degree of correlation between the final chemical
shifts (Figure <xref rid="fig4" ref-type="fig">4</xref>
and Tables S3 and S4 of the <xref rid="notes-2" ref-type="notes">Supporting Information</xref>
). Assignments were initiated
by identifying pyrimidine H5–H6 cross-peaks from TOCSY spectra.
Cytosine H5 and H6 peaks were assigned by intraresidue NOE cross-peaks
to amino protons and from those to associated guanosine imino protons.
Intraresidue and interresidue H1′–H6/H8 NOEs from G2
to A9 and from U33 to U39 confirm the A-form geometry of the stem
below the internal loop in the constructs (Figure S5 of the <xref rid="notes-2" ref-type="notes">Supporting Information</xref>
).<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref53">53</xref>
</sup>
The same types of H1′–H6/H8 NOEs from C12 to C17,
from G24 to G25, and from U27 to G30 confirm the A-form geometry of
the stem above the internal loop. Cross-peaks from an adenine H2 to
the 3′ H1′ on the same strand and the 3′ H1′
on the opposite strand also identify A-form helical regions of the
constructs.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref55">55</xref>

Specifically, NOEs are present
from A3H2 to U4H1′, A9H2 to G34H1′, A15H2 to C16H1′
and U27H1′, A36H2 to G7H1′ and G37H1′, and A38H2
to U5H1′ and U39H1′. In RNA helices, a similar pattern
of NOEs from guanine H1 to the 3′ H1′ on the same strand

In spectra of the 11-mer, H1′

The different structure of an A-C pair relative to a Watson–Crick

interconversion of G32 or an adjacent residue between two conformations

are close, so the A26 bulge does not prevent their stacking (Figure <xref rid="fig5" ref-type="fig">5</xref>

between G25 and U27 as there are no NOEs between those residues. NOE
cross-peaks from G25H1′ and G25H3′ to A26H8 and from
A26H1′ to U27H6 have normal A-form intensities. Cross-peaks

to A31, inclusive, and the A26H8 chemical shift (8.04 ppm) is within
the range of the H8 chemical shifts observed for stacked adenines.

Similarly, a bulged

To study the effect of Mg<sup>2+</sup>

minor shifts and sharpening of imino resonances of the 11 nt hairpin
(Figure S8 of the <xref rid="notes-2" ref-type="notes">Supporting Information</xref>
) and 19 nt duplex (Figure S9 of the <xref rid="notes-2" ref-type="notes">Supporting

stabilize the helical or internal loop regions or induce a conformational

were observed in the presence of Mg<sup>2+</sup>

some of the nonexchangeable resonances

an exposed adenine N7, such as one not buried in the major groove

This is inconsistent
with the formation of a hydrogen bond between A26N7 and the amino
group of G25, suggesting that the base triple is dynamic. In short,
the NMR-guided models suitably explain the observed NOE data for residues
around A26, but not the DEPC mapping data. Both types of data can
be rationalized, however, by a dynamic model for A26 (<italic>vide

in all 20 structures. A26 stacks below G25 in all 20 structures without
forming a (C16-G25)A26 base triple, and the distance from A26H2 to
C17H1′ is much longer than that to C16H1′, contrary
to the larger C17H1′–A26H2 NOE compared to the C16H1′–A26H2
NOE. This again suggests that A26 is dynamic so that one structure

<sec id="sec4.10"><title>Prediction of Chemical Shifts from Structure</title>
<p>The program
NUCHEMICS<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref47">47</xref>
</sup>
was used to predict chemical
shifts for the ensembles of 20 structures of the RNA constructs generated
with distance restraints. Average calculated chemical shifts of H1′,
H2′, H2, H5, and H6/H8 of the 39 nt hairpin agree for most
residues within 0.4 ppm of those assigned in NMR spectra at 20 °C
(Figure <xref rid="fig12" ref-type="fig">12</xref>
). Chemical shifts of sugar resonances
of the internal loop are within ∼0.2 ppm of experiment despite
the flexibility of the loop (Figure <xref rid="fig12" ref-type="fig">12</xref>
and
Figure S18 of the <xref rid="notes-2" ref-type="notes">Supporting Information</xref>
). For the AC closed GAAA loop, larger differences between predicted
and experimental chemical shifts are observed. The A18H2 proton was
predicted to be at 7.03 ppm in the 39-mer and 7.11 ppm in the 11 nt
hairpin, which are ∼0.4 and ∼0.6 ppm smaller than experimental
chemical shifts for their respective structures (Figure <xref rid="fig12" ref-type="fig">12</xref>
and Figure S19 of the <xref rid="notes-2" ref-type="notes">Supporting
Information</xref>
). The C23H1′ chemical shift for the 11-mer
was 4.85 ppm but was predicted to be 3.77 ppm. To explore whether
the discrepancy is seen with other RNAs, differences were analyzed
between chemical shifts predicted with NUCHEMICS for 3D structures
of three GAAA hairpins<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref65">65</xref>

</sup>
and their assigned chemical
shifts from the BMRB.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref33">33</xref>
</sup>
Each of the three
types of canonical base pairs is represented among these structures
as a closing pair of the GAAA hairpin loop. Indeed, for a given RNA,
experimental and predicted chemical shifts for each of these hairpins
differ most (up to 2.3 ppm) within the GAAA hairpin loop and closing
base pair (Figures S20–S22 of the <xref rid="notes-2" ref-type="notes">Supporting
Information</xref>
), confirming that either NUCHEMICS inconsistently
predicts true chemical shifts of these residues or the structures
are inaccurate or dynamic.</p>

<p>Chemical shifts were predicted
and averaged for the 20 lowest-energy
structures generated with CS-ROSETTA for the 19 nt hairpin and 18
nt duplex (Figure S2 of the <xref rid="notes-2" ref-type="notes">Supporting Information</xref>
). Except for those of terminal residues in each construct, most
H1′, H2′, H2, H5, and H6/H8 chemical shifts of the CS-ROSETTA
structures, including those of GAAA loop residues, were predicted
to be within 0.3 ppm of those assigned for NMR spectra of the 39 nt
hairpin at 20 °C (Figures S23 and S24 of the <xref rid="notes-2" ref-type="notes">Supporting Information</xref>
). The average predicted chemical shift
of A26H2 in the CS-ROSETTA structures of the 19 nt hairpin is within
0.1 ppm of the experimental chemical shift. Thus, the stacking of
A26 below G25 in the CS-ROSETTA structures may occur in the 39 nt
hairpin, consistent with a dynamic base triple.</p>

Available therapeutics
target neuraminidase and M2 proteins but are not particularly efficacious.
While most therapeutics used clinically target proteins, RNA research
is revealing a wealth of potential RNA targets, including splice sites.
For example, beta thalassemia and Duchenne muscular dystrophy have
been treated or reversed with oligonucleotides that block a splice
site.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref110">110</xref>

sites, though, are thought not to have stable structures.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref115">115</xref>

One exception is the 3′ splice site of segment 7 mRNA from
influenza A.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref14">14</xref>

</sup>
Splicing at this site determines
the relative abundance of two essential proteins, M1 and M2.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref119">119</xref>
</sup>
The amount of splicing may be determined by
an equilibrium between a pseudoknot and two-hairpin structure around
the splice site (Figure <xref rid="fig1" ref-type="fig">1</xref>
). The results reported
here reveal several interesting characteristics of the hairpin containing
the 3′ splice site.</p>
<p>The splice site is between G10 and
G11 in a conformationally flexible
internal loop where G10 appears to be in equilibria between intrahelical
and extrahelical conformations as well as <italic>syn</italic>
–<italic>anti</italic>
conformations for the base relative to the ribose (Figure <xref rid="fig10" ref-type="fig">10</xref>
). Local flexibility may be an important characteristic
for a 3′ splice site.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref115">115</xref>
</sup>
In contrast
to G10 and G32, the adjacent G11-A31 and A9-U33 pairs are relatively
stable. Alternative conformations of the splice site region are also
consistent with exchange peaks for imino protons of residues G10 and/or
G32, U33, and G34 and two-site exchange observed for G32H8. The flexibility
of the internal loop and its functional importance to the viral life
cycle as a splice site make it an attractive target for binding and
inhibition by therapeutic agents.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref120">120</xref>

</sup>
Presumably, the bulge A loop, the GAAA tetraloop capping the hairpin,
or both could be targeted along with the internal loop. The GAAA tetraloop
is closed by an AC pair, which is an unusual combination. The (C16-G25)A26

In each of the crystal structures, G270 and
A283 form an imino GA pair, the same as G11-A31 in the segment 7 hairpin.
G269 and G284, however, form a <italic>trans</italic>

below it. In contrast to the Watson Crick A9-U33 pair closing the

</sup>
In all six structures, the A268 amino proton
that does not contact U285 points away from the major groove of its
helix and lies within hydrogen bonding proximity of O4′ of
an extrahelical residue, G321. There is also a hydrogen bond from
the amino of G269 to O2′ of G321. Similar extrahelical hydrogen

X-ray structures, the orientation of A268H2 away from U285H3 is inconsistent
with the presence of an NOE from A9H2 to U33H3 in NMR spectra of the
segment 7 hairpin. Evidently, tertiary interactions from the amino
protons of A268 and G269 to G321 stabilize G269-G284 and noncanonical
A268-U285 base pairs in the group II intron. Similar large differences
have been observed between an NMR structure of an isolated internal
loop and the same sequence loop in crystals of ribosomes.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref130">130</xref>

The results suggest certain internal loops

that a variety of small molecules could bind tightly to the influenza
internal loop and serve as therapeutics.</p>
<p>Ultimately, it should
be possible to predict the structure and
dynamics of RNAs and of molecules to bind them. The results presented
here provide a useful benchmark for testing such predictions. The
