Antitermination protein N regulates the transcriptional program of phage lambda through recognition of RNA enhancer elements. Binding of an arginine-rich peptide to one face of an RNA hairpin organizes the other, which in turn binds to the host antitermination complex. The induced RNA structure mimics a GNRA hairpin, an organizational element of rRNA and ribozymes. The two faces of the RNA, bridged by a sheared GA base pair, exhibit a specific pattern of base stacking and base flipping. This pattern is extended by stacking of an aromatic amino acid side chain with an unpaired adenine at the N-binding surface. Such extended stacking is coupled to induction of a specific internal RNA architecture and is blocked by RNA mutations associated in vivo with loss of transcriptional antitermination activity. Mimicry of a motif of RNA assembly by an RNA-protein complex permits its engagement within the antitermination machinery.
