A flexible loop in yeast ribosomal protein L11 coordinates P-site tRNA binding
High-resolution structures reveal that yeast ribosomal protein L11 and its bacterial/archael homologs called L5 contain a highly conserved, basically charged internal loop that interacts with the peptidyl-transfer RNA (tRNA) T-loop. We call this the L11 'P-site loop'. Chemical protection of wild-type ribosome shows that that the P-site loop is inherently flexible, i.e. it is extended into the r...
متن کاملContribution of ribosomal residues to P-site tRNA binding
Structural studies have revealed multiple contacts between the ribosomal P site and tRNA, but how these contacts contribute to P-tRNA binding remains unclear. In this study, the effects of ribosomal mutations on the dissociation rate (k(off)) of various tRNAs from the P site were measured. Mutation of the 30S P site destabilized tRNAs to various degrees, depending on the mutation and the specie...
متن کاملInternal loop mutations in the ribosomal protein L30 binding site of the yeast L30 RNA transcript.
Yeast ribosomal protein L30 binds to an asymmetric, purine-rich internal loop in its transcript to repress its own splicing and translation. The protein-bound form of the stem-internal loop-stem RNA is an example of a kink-turn RNA structural motif. Analysis of kink-turn motifs reveals that in (2 + 5) internal loops, the identities of five nucleotides are very important, while the remaining two...
متن کاملIdentification of specific Rp-phosphate oxygens in the tRNA anticodon loop required for ribosomal P-site binding.
tRNA binding to the ribosomal P site is dependent not only on correct codon-anticodon interaction but also involves identification of structural elements of tRNA by the ribosome. By using a phosphorothioate substitution-interference approach, we identified specific nonbridging Rp-phosphate oxygens in the anticodon loop of tRNA(Phe) from Escherichia coli which are required for P-site binding. St...
متن کاملP-site tRNA is a crucial initiator of ribosomal frameshifting.
The expression of some genes requires a high proportion of ribosomes to shift at a specific site into one of the two alternative frames. This utilized frameshifting provides a unique tool for studying reading frame control. Peptidyl-tRNA slippage has been invoked to explain many cases of programmed frameshifting. The present work extends this to other cases. When the A-site is unoccupied, the P...
