Processing of the 5' end of Escherichia coli 16S ribosomal RNA.
We have isolated and partially characterized an endonuclease involved in processing the 5' end of 16S rRNA of Escherichia coli. A mutant strain that is deficient in this enzyme accumulates a new precursor of 16S rRNA, named 16.3S rRNA. This rRNA has the 3' end of mature 16S rRNA but is about 60 nucleotides longer at the 5' end. In vitro, the enzyme preparation cleaves an RNA fragment of about 6...
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 کاملInvolvement 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 کاملThe Escherichia coli ribosomal RNA leader nut region interacts specifically with mature 16S RNA.
All ribosomal RNAs are preceded by leader sequences not present in the final ribosome particles. The highly conserved leader sequences of bacterial rRNAs are known to be important for the folding and assembly of functional ribosomes. Very likely transient binding of the leader to mature parts of the 16S RNA occurs during transcription. To better understand the mechanistic details of these funct...
متن کاملLocation and characteristics of ribosomal protein binding sites in the 16S RNA of Escherichia coli.
Specific binding sites for five proteins of the Escherichia coli 30S ribosomal subunit have been located within the 16S RNA. The sites are structurally diverse and range in size from 40 to 500 nucleotides; their functional integrity appears to depend upon both the secondary structure and conformation of the RNA molecule. Evidence is presented which indicates that additional proteins interact wi...
