Structural evidence for specific S8-RNA and S8-protein interactions within the 30S ribosomal subunit: ribosomal protein S8 from Bacillus stearothermophilus at 1.9 A resolution.
BACKGROUND Prokaryotic ribosomal protein S8 is an important RNA-binding protein that occupies a central position within the small ribosomal subunit. It interacts extensively with 16S rRNA and is crucial for the correct folding of the central domain of the rRNA. S8 also controls the synthesis of several ribosomal proteins by binding to mRNA. It binds specifically to very similar sites in the two...
متن کاملThe solution structure of ribosomal protein L18 from Bacillus stearothermophilus.
A medium resolution solution structure has been obtained for L18 from Bacillus stearothermophilus (BstL18), a ribosomal protein that stabilizes the tertiary structure of 5S rRNA and mediates its interaction with the rest of the large subunit. The N-terminal 22 amino acid residues of BstL18 are unstructured in solution. Its remaining 98 residues form a globular domain that has the same topology ...
متن کاملLow-Resolution Molecular Dynamics Simulations of the 30S Ribosomal Subunit
Low-resolution molecular models can provide appropriate and efficient ways for studying large biomolecular systems such as the ribosome. We have developed computer codes that use the Yammp Under Python modeling package to assemble low-resolution force fields for RNA-protein complexes, and that connect these to the Amber molecular simulation package. This pipeline combines many of the complement...
متن کاملPhasing the 30S ribosomal subunit structure.
The methods involved in determining the 850 kDa structure of the 30S ribosomal subunit from Thermus thermophilus were in many ways identical to those that are generally used in standard protein crystallography. This paper reviews and analyses the methods that can be used in phasing such large structures and shows that the anomalous signal collected from heavy-atom compounds bound to the RNA is ...
متن کاملAssembly of the 30S ribosomal subunit: positioning ribosomal protein S13 in the S7 assembly branch.
Studies of Escherichia coli 30S ribosomal subunit assembly have revealed a hierarchical and cooperative association of ribosomal proteins with 16S ribosomal RNA; these results have been used to compile an in vitro 30S subunit assembly map. In single protein addition and omission studies, ribosomal protein S13 was shown to be dependent on the prior association of ribosomal protein S20 for bindin...
