Involvement of bases 787-795 of Escherichia coli 16S ribosomal RNA in ribosomal subunit association.
A nine-base DNA oligomer [d(GTATCTAAT)] was used to probe the accessibility and function of bases in the region 787-795 of Escherichia coli 16S rRNA. Hybridization of the cDNA [d(GTATCTAAT)] to 16S rRNA in situ was carried out by binding the probe to intact 30S ribosomal subunits. Nitrocellulose filter binding showed that cDNA hybridization saturated with increasing probe concentration, suggest...
متن کاملAlternative conformations in Escherichia coli 16S ribosomal RNA.
Partially denatured 16S rRNA from 30S ribosomes shows features of secondary structure in electron microscopy that correspond to the well accepted secondary structure model derived from chemical modification and phylogenetic data. However, a very different conformation is seen in precursor 16S rRNA sequences contained within 30S pre-rRNA transcripts: the major 5'-terminal loop is absent, and sev...
متن کاملThe conformation of 16S RNA in the 30S ribosomal subunit from Escherichia coli.
The digestion of E. coli 16S RNA with a single-strand-specific nuclease produced two fractions separable by gel filtration. One fraction was small oligonucleotides, the other, comprising 67.5% of the total RNA, was highly structured double helical fragments of mol. wt. 7,600. There are thus about 44 helical loops of average size corresponding to 12 base pairs in each 16S RNA. 10% of the RNA cou...
متن کاملRibosomal protein S7 from Escherichia coli uses the same determinants to bind 16S ribosomal RNA and its messenger RNA.
Ribosomal protein S7 from Escherichia coli binds to the lower half of the 3' major domain of 16S rRNA and initiates its folding. It also binds to its own mRNA, the str mRNA, and represses its translation. Using filter binding assays, we show in this study that the same mutations that interfere with S7 binding to 16S rRNA also weaken its affinity for its mRNA. This suggests that the same protein...
متن کاملThe importance of base pairing in the penultimate stem of Escherichia coli 16S rRNA for ribosomal subunit association.
The influence of base pairing in the penultimate stem of Escherichia coli 16S rRNA (defined as nt 1409-1491) on ribosome function has been addressed by the construction of mutations in this region of rRNA. Two sets of mutations were made on either side of a structurally conserved region in the penultimate stem that disrupted base pairing, while a third set of mutations replaced the wild-type se...
