    Abstract Biological processes require DNA and RNA helices to pack together in specific interhelical orientations. While electrostatic repulsion between backbone charges is expected to be maximized when helices are in parallel alignment, such orientations are commonplace in nature. To better understand how the repulsion is overcome, we used experimental and computational approaches to investigate how the orientational preferences of DNA helices depend on the concentration and valence of mobile cations. We used Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) to probe the relative orientations of two 24-bp helices held together via a freely rotating PEG linker. At low cation concentrations, the helices preferred more "cross"-like orientations over those closer to parallel, and this preference was reduced with increasing salt concentrations. The results were in good quantitative agreement with Poisson-Boltzmann (PB) calculations for monovalent salt (Na

    Abstract To better understand the forces that mediate nucleic acid compaction in biology, we developed the disulfide cross-linking approach xHEED (X-linking of Helices to measure Electrostatic Effects at Distance) to measure the distance-dependent encounter frequency of two DNA helices in solution. Using xHEED, we determined the distance that the electrostatic potential extends from DNA helices, the dependence of this distance on ionic conditions, and the magnitude of repulsion when two helices approach one another. Across all conditions tested, the potential falls to that of the bulk solution within 15 Å of the major groove surface. For separations of ∼30 Å, we measured a repulsion of 1.8 kcal/mol in low monovalent ion concentration (30 mM Na

    Abstract RNA helicase proteins perform coupled reactions in which cycles of ATP binding and hydrolysis are used to drive local unwinding of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA). For some helicases in the ubiquitous DEAD-box family, these local unwinding events are integral to folding transitions in structured RNAs, and thus these helicases function as RNA chaperones. An important measure of the efficiency of the helicase-catalyzed reaction is the ATP utilization value, which represents the average number of ATP molecules hydrolyzed during RNA unwinding or a chaperone-assisted RNA structural rearrangement. Here we outline procedures that can be used to measure the ATP utilization value in RNA unwinding or folding transitions. As an example of an RNA folding transition, we focus on the refolding of the Tetrahymena thermophila group I intron ribozyme from a long-lived misfolded structure to its native structure, and we outline strategies for adapting this assay to other RNA folding transitions. For a simple dsRNA unwinding event, the ATP utilization value provides a measure of the coupling between the ATPase and RNA unwinding activities, and for a complex RNA structural transition it can give insight into the scope of the rearrangement and the efficiency with which the helicase uses the energy from ATPase cycles to promote the rearrangement.

    Abstract G-quadruplex structures (G4s) form readily in DNA and RNA and play diverse roles in gene expression and other processes, and their inappropriate formation and stabilization are linked to human diseases. G4s are inherently long-lived, such that their timely unfolding depends on a suite of DNA and RNA helicase proteins. Biochemical analysis of G4 binding and unfolding by individual helicase proteins is important for establishing their levels of activity, affinity, and specificity for G4s, including individual G4s of varying sequence and structure. Here we describe a set of simple, accessible methods in which electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSA) are used to measure the kinetics of G4 binding, dissociation, and unfolding by helicase proteins. We focus on practical considerations and the pitfalls that are most likely to arise when these methods are used to study the activities of helicases on G4s.
