Specific binding of Escherichia coli ribosomal protein S1 to boxA transcriptional antiterminator RNA.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show that ribosomal protein S1 specifically binds the boxA transcriptional antiterminator RNAs of bacteriophage lambda and the Escherichia coli ribosomal RNA operons. Although S1 competes with the NusB-S10 antitermination complex for binding to boxA, it does not affect antitermination by the lambda N protein in vitro, and its role, if any, in rRNA synthesis is still unknown.

Fine tuning of the E. coli NusB:NusE complex affinity to BoxA RNA is required for processive antitermination
Phage lambda propagation in Escherichia coli host cells requires transcription antitermination on the lambda chromosome mediated by lambdaN protein and four host Nus factors, NusA, B, E (ribosomal S10) and G. Interaction of E. coli NusB:NusE heterodimer with the single stranded BoxA motif of lambdanutL or lambdanutR RNA is crucial for this reaction. Similarly, binding of NusB:NusE to a BoxA mot...
متن کاملRibosomal protein L10(L12)4 autoregulates expression of the Bacillus subtilis rplJL operon by a transcription attenuation mechanism
Ribosomal protein genes are often controlled by autoregulatory mechanisms in which a protein encoded in the operon can either bind to newly synthesized rRNA during rapid growth or to a similar target in its mRNA during poor growth conditions. The rplJL operon encodes the ribosomal L10(L12)4 complex. In Escherichia coli L10(L12)4 represses its translation by binding to the rplJL leader transcrip...
متن کاملSolution structure of the antitermination protein NusB of Escherichia coli: a novel all-helical fold for an RNA-binding protein.
The NusB protein of Escherichia coli is involved in the regulation of rRNA biosynthesis by transcriptional antitermination. In cooperation with several other proteins, it binds to a dodecamer motif designated rrn boxA on the nascent rRNA. The antitermination proteins of E.coli are recruited in the replication cycle of bacteriophage lambda, where they play an important role in switching from the...
متن کاملBglG, the transcriptional antiterminator of the bgl system, interacts with the beta' subunit of the Escherichia coli RNA polymerase.
The Escherichia coli BglG protein antiterminates transcription at two terminator sites within the bgl operon in response to the presence of beta-glucosides in the growth medium. BglG was previously shown to be an RNA-binding protein that recognizes a specific sequence located just upstream of each of the terminators and partially overlapping with them. We show here that BglG also binds to the E...
متن کاملMolecular insights into replication initiation by Qβ replicase using ribosomal protein S1
Ribosomal protein S1, consisting of six contiguous OB-folds, is the largest ribosomal protein and is essential for translation initiation in Escherichia coli. S1 is also one of the three essential host-derived subunits of Qβ replicase, together with EF-Tu and EF-Ts, for Qβ RNA replication in E. coli. We analyzed the crystal structure of Qβ replicase, consisting of the virus-encoded RNA-dependen...
