Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpes virus (KSHV) is a human oncovirus. KSHV relies on manipulating the host cell N6-methyl adenosine (m6A) RNA modification pathway to enhance virus replication. Methylation within a RNA stem loop of the open reading frame 50 (ORF50) increases transcript stability via the recruitment of the m6A reader, SND1. In this contribution we explore the energy landscapes of the unmethylated and methylated RNA stem loops of ORF50 to investigate the effect of methylation on the structure of the stem loop. We observe a significant shift upon methylation between an open and closed configuration of the top of the stem loop. In the unmethylated stem loop the closed configuration is much lower in energy, and, as a result, exhibits higher occupancy. In this article we present the investigation of the change in structure of an RNA regulatory molecule upon a change in the chemistry of one of its bases. Eukaryotic RNAs contain more than 100 different types of chemical modifications, which can fine-tune the structure and function of RNA. Since RNA systems need to adopt a specific 3D shape to be functional, it is important to understand how a chemical modification impacts the structure adopted. Using the computational technique of energy landscape explorations, that is exploring what structures are available to the system at a given energy, we are able to characterise the RNA before and after the modification, and understand what the main differences between the ensembles of structures, which can be adopted by the system, are. In this work, we present our results of this investigation on an oncogenic virus-encoded RNA. We show how a chemical modification at a precise location of the native structure affects the system globally, inducing a rearrangement of parts of the structure, which are far away from the modification site.
