5 S rRNA: structure and interactions.
نویسندگان
چکیده
5 S rRNA is an integral component of the large ribosomal subunit in all known organisms. Despite many years of intensive study, the function of 5 S rRNA in the ribosome remains unknown. Advances in the analysis of ribosome structure that have revealed the crystal structures of large ribosomal subunits and of the complete ribosome from various organisms put the results of studies on 5 S rRNA in a new perspective. This paper summarizes recently published data on the structure and function of 5 S rRNA and its interactions in complexes with proteins, within and outside the ribosome.

Structure of free Thermus flavus 5 S rRNA at 1.3 nm resolution from synchrotron X-ray solution scattering.
The shape of free Thermus flavus 5 S rRNA in solution at 1.3 nm resolution is restored from synchrotron x-ray scattering data using an ab initio simulated annealing algorithm. The free 5 S rRNA is a bent elongated molecule displaying a compact central region and two projecting arms, similar to those of the tRNA. The atomic models of the 5 S rRNA domains A-D-E and B-C in the form of elongated he...
متن کاملMapping ribosomal protein S20-16 S rRNA interactions by mutagenesis.
Specific ribonucleotides within the 5' domain of Escherichia coli 16 S rRNA were altered by deletion and/or substitution by site-directed mutagenesis of cloned DNA to assess the importance of these particular residues in defining the binding site for ribosomal protein S20. Gel filtration and sucrose gradient centrifugation were employed to measure the binding of ribosomal protein S20 to synthet...
متن کاملThe use of chemical nucleases to analyze RNA-protein interactions. The TFIIIA-5 S rRNA complex.
The complex of Xenopus transcription factor IIIA (TFIIIA) with 5 S rRNA was analyzed in nuclease protection experiments using hydroxyl radical. The protection pattern reveals that TFIIIA interacts with a substantial amount of the RNA molecule, with close association between the factor and the arm of the RNA composed of helix IV-loop E-helix V. Additional sites of protection punctuate the other ...
متن کاملBiochemical and NMR spectroscopy evidence for a new tertiary A-U base pair in lupin ribosomal 5 S RNA structure.
The new model for the tertiary structure of ribosomal 5 S rRNA from plants recently proposed by some of us has been already supported by RNase H digestions in the presence of complementary oligodeoxynucleotides. These results are confirmed now by the new biochemical and NMR spectroscopy data. Diethylpyrocarbonate (DEP) and monoperphthalic acid (MPA) are the reagents with the high specificity to...
متن کاملDomain III of the T. thermophilus 23S rRNA folds independently to a near-native state.
The three-dimensional structure of the ribosomal large subunit (LSU) reveals a single morphological element, although the 23S rRNA is contained in six secondary structure domains. Based upon maps of inter- and intra-domain interactions and proposed evolutionary pathways of development, we hypothesize that Domain III is a truly independent structural domain of the LSU. Domain III is primarily st...
