Molecular basis for discrimination of cGAMP linkage isomers by a c-di-GMP-II riboswitch variant
摘要
Riboswitches are non-coding RNA regulatory motifs predominantly found in bacteria. Signaling molecules such as c-di-GMP, c-di-AMP, and 3′,3′-cGAMP have been reported to be recognized by riboswitches. In contrast, 2′,3′-cGAMP functions as a second messenger in mammalian cells, yet its interaction with RNA molecules remains unclear. Here we report the crystal structures of a c-di-GMP-II riboswitch variant, BhP1-5delC, bound to 2′,3′-cGAMP and 3′,3′-cGAMP. Both complexes adopt a similar overall RNA scaffold with an identical binding pocket composition. However, the ligand bases adopt inverted orientations in the binding pocket, resulting in distinct interaction patterns with residues A64 and G68 and differences in base-pair stacking against the phosphodiester backbone. Structural comparison together with ligand-binding assays of structure-guided mutants using isothermal titration calorimetry reveals the molecular principles by which an RNA riboswitch discriminates among cyclic dinucleotide linkage isomers, illustrating crosstalk between mammalian signaling molecules and bacterial RNA regulatory motifs across domains of life.
