The structure in solution of an RNA fragment (218 nucleotides long) containing part of E. coli 16S rRNA domain 2 has been studied using the intrinsic photoaffinity probe 4-thiouridine (s4U). In vitro transcription with T7 polymerase, in the presence of s4U triphosphate yielded complete RNA molecules. An affinity electrophoresis system based on Phenylmercuric substituted polyacrylamide (APM) gels allows separation of the RNA chains as a function of their s4U content. Distribution of s4U within chains follows a binomial law indicating that (i) substitution is close to random, (ii) efficiency of s4U incorporation is 0.22 times that of U. The monothiolated RNA fraction isolated from APM gel was irradiated at 366 nm under native conditions and the intramolecularly crosslinked molecules, (34%), were separated on denaturing polyacrylamide gel according to loop size. The positions of the two partners of bridges were identified by mean of reverse transcription and RNA sequencing. 17 of the 41 possible s4U positions lead to detectable bridges. These crosslinks formed efficiently at the border of bihelical regions or when structural mobility is allowed. The pattern of crosslinks is in agreement with the previously proposed secondary structure but indicates that it is much more flexible than expected.
