abstract = {The major bottlenecks in structure elucidation of nucleic
acids are crystallization and phasing. Co-crystallization
with proteins is a straight forward approach to overcome
these challenges. The human RNA-binding protein U1A has
previously been established as crystallization module,
however, the absence of UV-active residues and the
predetermined architecture in the asymmetric unit constitute
clear limitations of the U1A system. Here, we report three
crystal structures of tryptophan-containing U1A variants,
which expand the crystallization toolbox for nucleic acids.
Analysis of the structures complemented by SAXS, NMR
spectroscopy, and optical spectroscopy allow for insights
into the potential of the U1A variants to serve as
crystallization modules for nucleic acids. In addition, we
report a fast and efficient protocol for crystallization of
RNA by soaking and present a fluorescence-based approach for
detecting RNA-binding in crystallo. Our results provide a
new tool set for the crystallization of RNA and RNA:DNA
complexes.},
