Structural insights into peptide bond formation.
The large ribosomal subunit catalyzes peptide bond formation and will do so by using small aminoacyl- and peptidyl-RNA fragments of tRNA. We have refined at 3-A resolution the structures of both A and P site substrate and product analogues, as well as an intermediate analogue, bound to the Haloarcula marismortui 50S ribosomal subunit. A P site substrate, CCA-Phe-caproic acid-biotin, binds equal...
متن کاملDriving forces and structural determinants of steric zipper peptide oligomer formation elucidated by atomistic simulations.
Understanding the structural and energetic requirements of non-fibrillar oligomer formation harbors the potential to decipher an important yet still elusive part of amyloidogenic peptide and protein aggregation. Low-molecular-weight oligomers are described to be transient and polymorphic intermediates in the nucleated self-assembly process to highly ordered amyloid fibers and were additionally ...
متن کاملStructural basis of the ribosomal machinery for peptide bond formation, translocation, and nascent chain progression.
Crystal structures of tRNA mimics complexed with the large ribosomal subunit of Deinococcus radiodurans indicate that remote interactions determine the precise orientation of tRNA in the peptidyl-transferase center (PTC). The PTC tolerates various orientations of puromycin derivatives and its flexibility allows the conformational rearrangements required for peptide-bond formation. Sparsomycin b...
متن کاملAntibody catalysis of peptide bond formation.
An antibody generated against a neutral phosphonate diester transition-state (TS not equal to) analog catalyzes the formation of an amide bond between a phenylalanyl amino group and an acyl azide derived from L-alanine. The antibody is selective for L- vs. D-alanine and does not catalyze the hydrolysis of the acyl azide to an appreciable degree. A rate acceleration of 10,000-fold relative to th...
متن کاملMechanism of ribosomal peptide bond formation.
The mechanism of peptide bond synthesis constitutes a fundamental and long-debated question in molecular biology. For many years, ribosomologists championed a protein-based mechanism, similar to the charge relay system that has been proposed for peptide hydrolysis by serine proteinases [references in (1)]. As it has become apparent that the peptidyl transferase center is composed mainly of RNA,...
