The interaction between phage R17 coat protein and its RNA binding site for translational repression was studied as an example of a sequence-specific RNA-protein interaction. Nuclease protection and selection experiments define the binding site to .apprx. 20 contiguous nucleotides which form a hairpin. A nitrocellulose filter retention assay is used to show that the binding between the coat protein and a synthetic 21 nucleotide RNA fragment conforms to a simple biomolecular reaction. Unit stoichiometry and a Kd of .apprx. 1 nM are obtained at 2.degree. C in buffer containing 0.19 M salt. The interaction is highly sequence specific since a variety of RNA failed to compete with the 21 nucleotide fragment for coat protein binding.
