Abstract | Understanding how ligands bind to ribonucleic acids (RNA) is important for understanding RNA recognition in biological processes and drug development. Here, we have studied neomycin B binding to neomycin-sensing riboswitch aptamer constructs by native top-down mass spectrometry (MS) using electrospray ionization (ESI) and collisionally activated dissociation (CAD). Our MS data for a 27 nt aptamer construct reveal the binding site and ligand interactions, in excellent agreement with the structure derived from nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies. Strikingly, for an extended 40 nt aptamer construct, which represents the sequence with the highest regulatory factor for riboswitch function, we identified two binding motifs for neomycin B binding, one corresponding to the bulge-loop motif of the 27 nt construct and the other one in the minor groove of the lower stem, which according to the MS data are equally populated. By replacing a noncanonical with a canonical base pair in the lower stem of the 40 nt aptamer, we can reduce binding to the minor groove motif from ∼50 to ∼30%. Conversely, the introduction of a CUG/CUG motif in the lower stem shifts the binding equilibrium in favor of minor groove binding. The MS data reveal site-specific and stoichiometry-resolved information on aminoglycoside binding to RNA that is not directly accessible by other methods and underscore the role of noncanonical base pairs in RNA recognition by aminoglycosides. |
