Self-assembly and condensation of intermolecular poly(UG) RNA quadruplexes

Poly(UG) or 'pUG' dinucleotide repeats are highly abundant sequences in eukaryotic RNAs. In Caenorhabditis elegans, pUGs are added to RNA 3' ends to direct gene silencing within Mutator foci, a germ granule condensate. Here, we show that pUG RNAs efficiently self-assemble into gel con...

description Poly(UG) or 'pUG' dinucleotide repeats are highly abundant sequences in eukaryotic RNAs. In Caenorhabditis elegans, pUGs are added to RNA 3' ends to direct gene silencing within Mutator foci, a germ granule condensate. Here, we show that pUG RNAs efficiently self-assemble into gel condensates through quadruplex (G4) interactions. Short pUG sequences form right-handed intermolecular G4s (pUG G4s), while longer pUGs form left-handed intramolecular G4s (pUG folds). We determined a 1.05 Å crystal structure of an intermolecular pUG G4, which reveals an eight stranded G4 dimer involving 48 nucleotides, 7 different G and U quartet conformations, 7 coordinated potassium ions, 8 sodium ions and a buried water molecule. A comparison of the intermolecular pUG G4 and intramolecular pUG fold structures provides insights into the molecular basis for G4 handedness and illustrates how a simple dinucleotide repeat sequence can form complex structures with diverse topologies.
