Article Title: Mechanistic studies of small molecule ligands selective to RNA single G bulges
doi: 10.1093/nar/gkaf559
Figure Lengend Snippet: Coumarin derivatives can selectively bind to RNA G 1 × 0 bulges: ( A ) RNA structures of the 1 × 0 RNA bulges used for in vitro binding profiling using the FP assay. N = G , A , U , or C (RNA1-4). ( B ) Heatmap profile of the ΔmP = (FP RNA-ligand – FP ligand ) × 1000 for RNA binders in the presence of [RNA] = 5 or 1 μM (red = high polarization, blue = low polarization). ( C ) ΔmP of RNA-ligand complex for RNA ligands at 5 μM. Each data point represents a measurement of a ligand in the 69-compound collection. **** indicates P < .0001. ( D ) Dose-response curves for compounds (SMSM6, C30) selectively binding to the bulged G RNA (RNA1) compared to an 11-nucleotide GA-rich sequence that would form a double loop-like RNA structure measured by the FP assay.
