Side chain determinants of biopolymer function during selection and replication

The chemical functionalities within biopolymers determine their physical properties and biological activities. The relationship between the side chains available to a biopolymer population and the potential functions of the resulting polymers, however, has proven difficult to study experimentally. U...

description The chemical functionalities within biopolymers determine their physical properties and biological activities. The relationship between the side chains available to a biopolymer population and the potential functions of the resulting polymers, however, has proven difficult to study experimentally. Using seven sets of chemically diverse charged, polar, and nonpolar side chains, we performed cycles of artificial translation, in vitro selections for binding to either PCSK9 or IL-6 protein, and replication on libraries of random side chain-functionalized nucleic acid polymers. Polymer sequence convergence, bulk population target binding, affinity of individual polymers, and head-to-head competition among post-selection libraries collectively indicate that polymer libraries with nonpolar side chains outperformed libraries lacking these side chains. The presence of nonpolar groups, resembling functionality existing in proteins but missing from natural nucleic acids, thus may be strong determinants of binding activity. This factor may contribute to the apparent evolutionary advantage of proteins over their nucleic acid precursors for some molecular recognition tasks. A comprehensive analysis of the effect of the side chain composition of nucleic acid polymers revealed that the polarity of the side chains determines the performance of polymers during in vitro selections for protein binding.
