M. J. Kime and P. B. Moore* abstract: The downfield (9-15 ppm) proton spectrum of Escherichia cotí 5S RNA has been examined at 500 MHz by using nuclear Overhauser methods. The data confirm the existence of the terminal and procaryotic loop helices within the molecule [Fox, GE, & Woese, CR (1975) Nature {London) 256, 505-506]. Very little stable, double-helical structure is detectable in the third loop of the molecule, the one comprising bases 12-68. The downfield spectrum of 5S RNA is perturbed in a highly specific manner upon addition of protein L25 to the system. The changes seen strongly i^^ oton nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques have been used to study the structure and properties of RNAs for over a decade [for review see Kearns & Shulman (1974); Kearns, 1976, 1977; Reid & Hurd, 1977; Schimmel & Red-field, 1980; Reid, 1981], The tRNAs have been the subject of much of this work, but 5S RNA, the next larger abundant RNA species, has also received attention (Wong etal., 1972; Kearns & Wong, 1974; Burns et al., 1980; Luoma et al., 1980; Salemink et al., 1981).

This research was supported by a grant (to PBM) from the National Institutes of Health (AI-09167). MJK is a NATO/SERC postdoctoral fellow. NMR spectroscopy was done at the Northeast Regional NMR Facility which is supported by the Na-tional Science Foundation (CHE-7916210). suggest that the binding site for L25 on 5S RNA includes the procaryotic loop helix, but not the terminal stem helix. Similar complexes formed between L25 and the 5S RNA fragment consisting of bases 1-11, 69-87, and 89-120 show exactly the same spectral alterations. A number of downfield resonances appear in the spectra of these complexes which have no counterparts in the free RNA, suggesting the stabilization of new RNA structures by the protein. There are some indications of protein-nucleicacid nuclear Overhauser effects. spectrum of particularinterest is the downfield region (9-15 ppm) where hydrogen-bonded base pair imino protons reso-nate. Powerful methodshave been developed lately for as-signing the downfield resonances of small nucleic acids based on the nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE)(Johnston & Red-field, 1978, 1981; Sanchez et al., 1980; Roy & Redfield, 1981; Hare & Reid, 1982a, b; Roy et al., 1982). It is clear that the problem of the assignment of the spectra of tRNAs will soon be solved in several cases.
