The bacterial and mitochondrial ribosomal A-site molecular switches possess different conformational substates
The A site of the small ribosomal subunit participates in the fidelity of decoding by switching between two states, a resting 'off' state and an active decoding 'on' state. Eight crystal structures of RNA duplexes containing two minimal decoding A sites of the Homo sapiens mitochondrial wild-type, the A1555G mutant or bacteria have been solved. The resting 'off' state of the mitochondrial wild-...
متن کاملThe molecular basis for A-site mutations conferring aminoglycoside resistance: relationship between ribosomal susceptibility and X-ray crystal structures.
Aminoglycoside antibiotics target the 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) bacterial A site and induce misreading of the genetic code. Point mutations of the ribosomal A site may confer resistance to aminoglycoside antibiotics. The influence of bacterial mutations (introduced by site-directed mutagenesis) on ribosomal drug susceptibility was investigated in vivo by determination of minimal inhibitory conce...
متن کاملFamily of site-selective molecular optical switches.
[reaction: see text] We describe the design, synthesis, and characterization of a family of thiol-reactive optical switches for labeling proteins and other biomolecules. Site-selective introduction of photochromic probes within biomolecules is being used as part of a new approach for optical control of biomolecular interactions and activities within cells. The thiol-reactive photochromic probes...
متن کاملX-ray radiation and the risk of multiple sclerosis: Do the site and dose of exposure matter?
Background: The sporadic cases of radiation-activated multiple sclerosis (MS) has been previously described, with a few studies focused on the relationship between radiation and the risk of MS. The aim of our study was to evaluate the association between history of X-ray radiation and MS. Methods : This case-control study was conducted on 150 individuals including 65 MS patients and 85 age-...
