A ribosomal ambiguity mutation in the 530 loop of E. coli 16S rRNA.
A series of base substitution and deletion mutations were constructed in the highly conserved 530 stem and loop region of E. coli 16S rRNA involved in binding of tRNA to the ribosomal A site. Base substitution and deletion of G517 produced significant effects on cell growth rate and translational fidelity, permitting readthrough of UGA, UAG and UAA stop codons as well as stimulating +1 and -1 f...
متن کاملA mutation in the 530 loop of Escherichia coli 16S ribosomal RNA causes resistance to streptomycin.
Oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis was used to introduce an A to C transversion at position 523 in the 16S ribosomal RNA gene of Escherichia coli rrnB operon cloned in plasmid pKK3535. E. coli cells transformed with the mutated plasmid were resistant to streptomycin. The mutated ribosomes isolated from these cells were not stimulated by streptomycin to misread the message in a poly(U)-directe...
متن کاملStructural changes in the 530 loop of Escherichia coli 16S rRNA in mutants with impaired translational fidelity.
The higher order structure of the functionally important 530 loop in Escherichia coli 16S rRNA was studied in mutants with single base changes at position 517, which significantly impair translational fidelity. The 530 loop has been proposed to interact with the EF-Tu-GTP-aatRNA ternary complex during decoding. The reactivity at G530, U531 and A532 to the chemical probes kethoxal, CMCT and DMS ...
متن کاملRibosomal ambiguity made less ambiguous.
In PNAS, Fagan et al. (1) report a significant step forward in the quest to understand how the fidelity with which ribosomes translate the sequences of mRNAs into protein sequences is determined. The crystal structures discussed in this paper show that the B8 bridge between the two ribosomal subunits is critical in this regard. This work also brings into high relief a more general problem that ...
متن کاملThe loop E-loop D region of Escherichia coli 5S rRNA: the solution structure reveals an unusual loop that may be important for binding ribosomal proteins.
BACKGROUND 5S ribosomal RNA is the smallest rRNA. Its Watson-Crick helices were identified more than 20 years ago, but the conformations of its loops have long defied analysis. One of the three arms of 5S rRNA, residues 69-106 in Escherichia coli, contains a 14-residue internal loop called loop E. The sequence of loop E is conserved within kingdoms, and is terminated by a pyrimidine-rich loop c...
