'''NMR Solution Structure of the RNA Hairpin Binding Site for the Histone Stem-loop Binding Protein'''<br />

==Overview==
The 3' end of replication-dependent histone mRNAs terminate in a conserved, sequence containing a stem-loop. This 26-nt sequence is the binding site, for a protein, stem-loop binding protein (SLBP), that is involved in, multiple aspects of histone mRNA metabolism and regulation. We have, determined the structure of the 26-nt sequence by multidimensional NMR, spectroscopy. There is a 16-nt stem-loop motif, with a conserved 6-bp stem, and a 4-nt loop. The loop is closed by a conserved U.A base pair that, terminates the canonical A-form stem. The pyrimidine-rich 4-nt loop, UUUC, is well organized with the three uridines stacking on the helix, and the, fourth base extending across the major groove into the solvent. The, flanking nucleotides at the base of the hairpin stem do not assume a, unique conformation, despite the fact that the 5' flanking nucleotides are, a critical component of the SLBP binding site.
