CsdA, a cold-shock RNA helicase from Escherichia coli, is involved in the biogenesis of 50S ribosomal subunit.
CsdA, a DEAD-box protein from Escherichia coli, has been proposed to participate in a variety of processes, such as translation initiation, gene regulation after cold-shock, mRNA decay and biogenesis of the small ribosomal subunit. Whether the protein really plays a direct role in these multiple processes is however, not clear. Here, we show that CsdA is involved in the biogenesis of the large ...
متن کاملAsymmetry in the 50S ribosomal subunit of Escherichia coli.
A substantial separation of the centers of mass of the protein and RNA portions of the 50S ribosomal subunit has been achieved using neutron scattering. This separation reveals that the subunit has a protein-rich side, a finding which is inconsistent with many models proposed for the structure. By analyzing the variation of the radius of gyration of the subunit under conditions in which the con...
متن کاملCooperative interactions among protein and RNA components of the 50S ribosomal subunit of Escherichia coli.
Copperative interactions among constituents of the 50S ribosomal subunit of Escherichia coli have been analyzed in order to elucidate its assembly and structural organization. Proteins L5 and L18 were shown to be necessary and sufficient to effect the association of the 5S and 23S RNAs into a quaternary complex that contains equimolar amounts of all four components. Measurement of diffusion con...
متن کاملA dominant negative mutant of the E. coli RNA helicase DbpA blocks assembly of the 50S ribosomal subunit
Escherichia coli DbpA is an ATP-dependent RNA helicase with specificity for hairpin 92 of 23S ribosomal RNA, an important part of the peptidyl transferase center. The R331A active site mutant of DbpA confers a dominant slow growth and cold sensitive phenotype when overexpressed in E. coli containing endogenous DbpA. Ribosome profiles from cells overexpressing DbpA R331A display increased levels...
متن کاملLocation of eight ribosomal proteins on the surface of the 50S subunit from Escherichia coli.
Eight ribosomal proteins, L9, L11, L15, L17, L18, L19, L23, and L29, have been localized on the surface of the 50S subunit from Escherichia coli by immunoelectron microscopy. The specificity of the antibody binding site was demonstrated by stringent absorption experiments. For each protein, the antibody attachment site was localized on the two characteristic views of the 50S subunit. Thus, each...
