Abstract
H/ACA Box ribonucleoprotein complexes (RNPs) play a major role in modification of rRNA and snRNA, catalyzing the sequence specific pseudouridylation in eukaryotes and archaea. This enzymatic reaction takes place on a substrate RNA recruited via base pairing to an internal loop of the snoRNA. Eukaryotic snoRNPs contain the four proteins Nop10, Cbf5, Gar1 and Nhp2, with Cbf5 as the catalytic subunit. In contrast to archaeal H/ACA RNPs, eukaryotic snoRNPs contain several conserved features in both the snoRNA as well as the protein components. Here, we reconstituted the eukaryotic H/ACA RNP containing snR81 as a guide RNA in vitro and report on the effects of these eukaryote specific features on complex assembly and enzymatic activity. We compare their contribution to pseudouridylation activity for stand-alone hairpins versus the bipartite RNP. Using single molecule FRET spectroscopy, we investigated the role of the different eukaryote-specific proteins and domains on RNA folding and complex assembly, and assessed binding of substrate RNA to the RNP. Interestingly, we found diverging effects for the two hairpins of snR81, suggesting hairpin-specific requirements for folding and RNP formation. Our results for the first time allow assessing interactions between the individual hairpin RNPs in the context of the full, bipartite snoRNP.

Abstract
Archaea and eukaryotes, in addition to protein-only enzymes, also possess ribonucleoproteins containing an H/ACA guide RNA plus four proteins that produce pseudouridine (Ψ). Although typical conditions for these RNA-guided reactions are known, certain variant conditions allow pseudouridylation. We used mutants of the two stem-loops of the Haloferax volcanii sR-h45 RNA that guides three pseudouridylations in 23S rRNA and their target RNAs to characterize modifications under various atypical conditions. The 5' stem-loop produces Ψ2605 and the 3' stem-loop produces Ψ1940 and Ψ1942. The latter two modifications require unpaired "UVUN" (V = A, C, or G) in the target and ACA box in the guide. Ψ1942 modification requires the presence of U1940 (or Ψ1940). Ψ1940 is not produced in the Ψ1942-containing substrate, suggesting a sequential modification of the two residues. The ACA box of a single stem-loop guide is not required when typically unpaired "UN" is up to 17 bases from its position in the guide, but is needed when the distance increases to 19 bases or the N is paired. However, ANA of the H box of the double stem-loop guide is needed even for the 5' typical pseudouridylation. The most 5' unpaired U in a string of U's is converted to Ψ, and in the absence of an unpaired U, a paired U can also be modified. Certain mutants of the Cbf5 protein affect pseudouridylation by the two stem-loops of sR-h45 differently. This study will help elucidate the conditions for production of nonconstitutive Ψ's, determine functions for orphan H/ACA RNAs and in target designing.

Abstract
Single-molecule techniques allow unique insights into biological systems as they provide unrivaled access to structural dynamics and conformational heterogeneity. One major bottleneck for reliable single-molecule Förster resonance energy transfer (smFRET) analysis is the identification of suitable fluorophore labeling sites that neither impair the function of the biological system nor cause photophysical artifacts of the fluorophore. To address this issue, we identified the contribution of virtually all individual parameters that affect Förster resonance energy transfer between two fluorophores attached to a ribonucleoprotein complex consisting of the RNA-binding protein L7Ae and a cognate kink turn containing RNA. A non-natural amino acid was incorporated at various positions of the protein using an amber suppression system (pEVOL) to label the protein via copper(I)-catalyzed alkyne-azide cycloaddition. On the basis of simulations followed by functional, structural, and multiparameter fluorescence analysis of five different smFRET RNPs, new insights into the design of smFRET RNPs were obtained. From this, a correlation between the photophysical properties of fluorophores attached to the protein and the predictability of the corresponding smFRET construct was established. Additionally, we identify a straightforward experimental method for characterizing selected labeling sites. Overall, this protocol allows fast generation and assessment of functional RNPs for accurate single-molecule experiments.

Abstract
Archaeal RNA:pseudouridine-synthase (PUS) Cbf5 in complex with proteins L7Ae, Nop10 and Gar1, and guide box H/ACA sRNAs forms ribonucleoprotein (RNP) catalysts that insure the conversion of uridines into pseudouridines (Ψs) in ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs). Nonetheless, in the absence of guide RNA, Cbf5 catalyzes the in vitro formation of Ψ2603 in Pyrococcus abyssi 23S rRNA and of Ψ55 in tRNAs. Using gene-disrupted strains of the hyperthermophilic archaeon Thermococcus kodakarensis, we studied the in vivo contribution of proteins Nop10 and Gar1 to the dual RNA guide-dependent and RNA-independent activities of Cbf5 on 23S rRNA. The single-null mutants of the cbf5, nop10, and gar1 genes are viable, but display a thermosensitive slow growth phenotype. We also generated a single-null mutant of the gene encoding Pus10, which has redundant activity with Cbf5 for in vitro formation of Ψ55 in tRNA. Analysis of the presence of Ψs within the rRNA peptidyl transferase center (PTC) of the mutants demonstrated that Cbf5 but not Pus10 is required for rRNA modification. Our data reveal that, in contrast to Nop10, Gar1 is crucial for in vivo and in vitro RNA guide-independent formation of Ψ2607 (Ψ2603 in P. abyssi) by Cbf5. Furthermore, our data indicate that pseudouridylation at orphan position 2589 (2585 in P. abyssi), for which no PUS or guide sRNA has been identified so far, relies on RNA- and Gar1-dependent activity of Cbf5.

Abstract
A structural and functional classification of H/ACA and H/ACA-like motifs is obtained from the analysis of the H/ACA guide RNAs which have been identified previously in the genomes of Euryarchaea (Pyrococcus) and Crenarchaea (Pyrobaculum). A unified structure/function model is proposed based on the common structural determinants shared by H/ACA and H/ACA-like motifs in both Euryarchaea and Crenarchaea. Using a computational approach, structural and energetic rules for the guide:target RNA-RNA interactions are derived from structural and functional data on the H/ACA RNP particles. H/ACA(-like) motifs found in Pyrococcus are evaluated through the classification and their biological relevance is discussed. Extra-ribosomal targets found in both Pyrococcus and Pyrobaculum might support the hypothesis of a gene regulation mediated by H/ACA(-like) guide RNAs in archaea.

Abstract
In all organisms, several distinct stand-alone pseudouridine synthase (PUS) family enzymes are expressed to isomerize uridine into pseudouridine (Ψ) by specific recognition of RNAs. In addition, Ψs are generated in Archaea and Eukaryotes by PUS enzymes which are organized as ribonucleoprotein particles (RNP)--the box H/ACA s/snoRNPs. For this modification system, a unique TruB-like catalytic PUS subunit is associated with various RNA guides which specifically target and secure substrate RNAs by base-pairing. The archaeal Cbf5 PUS displays the special feature of exhibiting both RNA guide-dependent and -independent activities. Structures of substrate-bound TruB and H/ACA sRNP revealed the importance of histidines in positioning the target uridine in the active site. To analyze the respective role of H60 and H77, we have generated variants carrying alanine substitutions at these positions. The impact of the mutations was analyzed for unguided modifications U(55) in tRNA and U2603 in 23S rRNA, and for activity of the box H/ACA Pab91 sRNP enzyme. H77 (H43 in TruB), but not H60, appeared to be crucial for the RNA guide-independent activity. In contrast to earlier suggestions, H60 was found to be noncritical for the activity of the H/ACA sRNP, but contributes together with H77 to the full activity of H/ACA sRNPs. The data suggest that a similar catalytic process was conserved in the two divergent pseudouridylation systems.

Abstract
The box H/ACA small ribonucleoprotein particles (H/ACA sRNPs) are RNP enzymes that isomerize uridines (U) into pseudouridines (Ψ) in archaeal RNAs. The RNA component acts as a guide by forming base-pair interactions with the substrate RNA to specify the target nucleotide of the modification to the catalytic subunit Cbf5. Here, we have analyzed association of an H/ACA sRNP enzyme from the hyperthermophilic archaeon Pyrococcus abyssi with synthetic substrate RNAs of different length and with target nucleotide variants, and estimated their turnover at high temperature. In these conditions, we found that a short substrate, which length is restricted to the interaction with RNA guide sequence, has higher turnover rate. However, the longer substrate with additional 5' and 3' sequences non-complementary to the guide RNA is better discriminated by the U to Ψ conversion allowing the RNP enzyme to distinguish the modified product from the substrate. In addition, we identified that the conserved residue Y179 in the catalytic center of Cbf5 is crucial for substrate selectivity.

Abstract
Secondary structure diagrams are essential, in RNA biology, to communicate functional hypotheses and summarize structural data, and communicate them visually as drafts or finalized publication-ready figures. While many tools are currently available to automate the production of such diagrams, their capacities are usually partial, making it hard for a user to decide which to use in a given context. In this chapter, we guide the reader through the steps involved in the production of expressive publication-quality illustrations featuring the RNA secondary structure. We present major existing representations and layouts, and give precise instructions to produce them using available free software, including jViz.RNA, the PseudoViewer, RILogo, R-chie, RNAplot, R2R, and VARNA. We describe the file formats and structural descriptions accepted by popular RNA visualization tools. We also provide command lines and Python scripts to ease the user's access to advanced features. Finally, we discuss and illustrate alternative approaches to visualize the secondary structure in the presence of probing data, pseudoknots, RNA-RNA interactions, and comparative data.

Abstract
Pseudouridine (Ψ) is the most abundant of >150 nucleoside modifications in RNA. Although Ψ was discovered as the first modified nucleoside more than half a century ago, neither the enzymatic mechanism of its formation, nor the function of this modification are fully elucidated. We present the consistent picture of Ψ synthases, their substrates and their substrate positions in model organisms of all domains of life as it has emerged to date and point out the challenges that remain concerning higher eukaryotes and the elucidation of the enzymatic mechanism.
