3 discussion S1. Divalent ion models studied in this work and the corresponding results. In this work, we employed two recently developed Mg 2+ ions models to evaluate the stabilizing role of Mg 2+ ions on the 3WJ-pRNA under investigation. One model was parameterized, by Villa et al., to reproduce experimental kinetic features of Mg 2+ in aqueous solution, such as the ion-water exchange rate and association properties with nucleic acid phosphate groups (45). These features of Mg 2+ are quite distinct from those of other divalent cations, making them crucial for modeling the stabilizing effects of Mg 2+ on RNA. Accordingly the model of Villa was applied in our simulations unless specifically stated otherwise. The alternative set of Mg 2+ parameters tested here, developed by Merz et al, was designed to specifically reproduce experimental thermodynamic values like the ion-oxygen distance and ion hydration free energy (47). Another divalent ion, Ca 2+, was employed as a control to validate the specific effect of Mg 2+ on RNA stability. Two Ca 2+ ion models were applied in our computations: those of Aqvist and Merz (46, 47). The parameters of all divalent ion models used our simulations are listed in table S2. For each of these four systems, step energy minimization and 5 ns NPT equilibration runs were conducted with harmonic restraints on RNA heavy atoms and divalent ions. Subsequently, the divalent ions bound to RNA were further relaxed in 5 ns NPT simulations with the RNA restrained. Finally, the systems were equilibrated for 50 ns (Mg 2+ ion) or 100 ns (Ca 2+ ion) within the NPT ensemble without any restraints. These equilibrated RNA configurations were then used as starting structures for steered molecular dynamic (SMD) simulations. In addition to using Villa s Mg 2+ model, we also conducted SMD simulations of the 3WJ-pRNA with the Merz model. The unfolding process, in that case, is similar to that seen with the Villa model, exhibiting an average rupture force of 1918±143 pn (fig. S6). The potential for the binding of Ca 2+ ions to the 3WJ-pRNA was also investigated. In all instances, Ca 2+ ions were initiated in the Mg 2+ binding sites. For the Aqvist model, both Ca 2+ ions dissociated from their original binding sites within 20 ns of simulation time; this 3WJ-pRNA could not resist the force applied in the early stages of pulling (fig. S7). In the case of the Merz model, the calcium ions do stay in their original binding sites, but cannot simultaneously interact with the phosphates of both H1 and H3 to form a Ca-clamp. Thus, this Ca-bound 3WJ-pRNA also does not exhibit resistance to stretching (fig. S8). In short, current divalent ion force fields seem to effectively discriminate between the binding behaviors of Mg 2+ and Ca 2+ ions, and describe the specific effects of Mg 2+ ions well.
4 discussion S2. Extrapolation of lifetime of folded state to the loaded force of 20 pn from SMD simulations and AFM experiments. The mechanical unfolding of the 3WJ-pRNA was studied using SMD simulations with coaxial pulling rates ranging from 0.01 to 1 nm/ns (figs. S1 to S3). The dependence of the rupture force on the loading rate is summarized in fig. S14, wherein the loading rate, r, is described by r=ksv (ks and v are the spring constant and pulling rate, respectively). The relationship between the rupture force, F, and unfolding rate, k0, can be described by the Bell-Evans formula: F(r)=(kBT/Δx)ln[rΔx/(k0kBT)], where k0 is unfolding rate at zero force, kb is Boltzmann constant, T is the temperature, and Δx is the distance to the transition state. For our constant velocity SMD data, we estimated k0 = s -1 and Δx = 0.53 Å. Both values are close to those derived from constant force simulations: k0 = s -1 and Δx = 0.56 Å. Applying the Bell model k(f)=k0exp(fδx/kbt) to the fitting parameters (k0 and Δx), the unfolding rates at operational load (20 pn, the force exerted by the 29 ATPase) k(20) are estimated to be and s -1 in each respective dataset. We also studied average rupture forces as a function of the loading rate on the basis of AFM experiment results (Fig. 5E). The rupture force increases logarithmically with the loading rate, r, a relationship that can also be described by Bell-Evans formulas. The unfolding rate at zero force, k0, and the distance to the transition state, Δx, are extracted from slope and intercept of plot: k0 = s -1 and Δx = 2 Ǻ (Fig. 5E). Applying the Bell model to the fitting parameters (k0 and Δx), we estimate an unfolding rate at operational load, k(20), of s -1. This value agrees reasonably well with simulation results. The value of τ20, the lifetime of the folded state, can be obtained simply by taking the reciprocal of this unfolding rate. One should note that the assumption of the Bell model (that the distance to the transition state, Δx, is independent of the applied force) cannot hold true for all forces; As the force increases, the transition state could move closer to the native state, as dicatated by the Hammond effect (54 56). This effect may account for the shorter Δx derived from SMD simulations than estimated from AFM experiments.
