In DNA, the sugar is 2′-deoxyribose and in RNA it is ribose. By the time I joined Alex’s lab in 1989, the important role of the sugar in determining the shape and function of the nucleic acids had long been recognized. As recounted in a short paper titled “The double helix: a tale of two puckers” (Rich, 2003), Alex made a string of discoveries that paved the way to a deeper understanding of how the sugar influences the conformation of DNA and RNA. Early fiber diffraction images had revealed two forms of the DNA duplex and it was later found that these were based on different conformations of the sugar moiety. In the B-form, the C2′-atom is out of the plane on the same side as the nucleobase (C2′-endo, Fig. 1A). In the A-form, the C3′-atom is out of the plane and the sugar conformation is C3′-endo (Fig. 1B). The change in sugar pucker has many consequences, including the duplex shape, groove widths and depths, intrastrand phosphate-phosphate distances and backbone hydration. Although DNA models based on fiber diffraction patterns led to an understanding of how sugar conformation affects the architecture of the double helix, single crystal diffraction studies of mini-helices [RNA (Rosenberg et al., 1973)] and oligonucleotides at high resolution later routinely allowed accurate visualization of the sugar pucker. The discoveries that poly(A) and poly(U) (Rich & Davies, 1956) and poly(A) and poly(dT) (Rich, 1960) could be hybridized had a tremendous impact, considering past and present applications as well as structure and stability of the nucleic acids. Thus, it became clear that the canonical RNA duplex resembled the DNA A-form and that DNA could adapt to RNA — but not the other way around — in a DNA:RNA hybrid duplex. We found later that a single ribonucleotide in an oligo2′-deoxyribonucleotide could drive the entire duplex into the A-form (Egli et al., 1993). As well, an Okazaki fragment, a chimeric RNA-DNA strand paired to DNA, was found to adopt a regular A-form in the crystal (Egli et al., 1992). However, the conclusion that every DNA:RNA hybrid is of the A-form is wrong and in reality, the","PeriodicalId":150391,"journal":{"name":"The Excitement of Discovery: Selected Papers of Alexander Rich","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132733501","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
