Affinity labeling of the ribosomal decoding site with an AUG-substrate analog.

چکیده
The trinucleotide AUG was condensed at the 5'-end with N-bromoacetyl-p-aminophenylphosphate. This bromoactylated AUG analog reacted irreversibly with the mRNA binding site of Escherichia coli 70S ribosomes. After reaction of 70S ribosomes with the AUG analog, labeled 30S subunits could be isolated that were programmed for initiation-factor-dependent binding of fMet-tRNAfMet. This shows that this AUG-affinity label reacted in the decoding site for fMet-tRNAfMet. By combination of sodium dodecyl sulfate-, Sarkosyl-, and ureapolyacrylamide gel electrophoresis the AUG-affinity label was found to be irreversibly bound to ribosomal proteins S4, the ram gene product, and S18.

Affinity labeling of RNA-polymerase II in the transcriptionally active complex by a phosphorylating analog of the initiation substrate.
Affinity modification of RNA-polymerase II by a phosphorylating analog of the initiation substrate carrying a zwitterionic 5;-terminal phosphate group with a 4-N,N-dimethylaminopyridine residue (DMAP-pA) was studied during specific transcription initiation controlled by the late adenoviral promotor. Super-selective affinity labeling and standard conditions of affinity modification resulted in l...

A new affinity labeling method is presented which may be used for enzyme-catalyzing reactions in the presence of magnesium. This method uses the substrate-cobalt(III) analog of the substrate-magnesium complex as a covalent label of the active site. The specific case of rabbit muscle glycogen phosphorylase b, which has been covalently labeled with a AMP-Co(II1) derivative at the allosteric site,...
متن کاملMapping of Escherichia coli ribosomal components involved in peptidyl transferase activity.
The method of affinity labeling has been used to identify protein components of 50S ribosomal subunits involved in peptidyl transferase activity. E. coli 50S ribosomal subunits were mapped by reaction with the N-bromoacetyl analog of chloramphenicol, an antibiotic known to interact specifically with the active center of the enzyme. The synthetic analog competes with chloramphenicol in binding t...
متن کاملModeling and Simulation of Substrate Noise in Mixed-Signal Circuits Applied to a Special VCO
The mixed-signal circuits with both analog and digital blocks on a single chip have wide applications in communication and RF circuits. Integrating these two blocks can cause serious problems especially in applications requiring fast digital circuits and high performance analog blocks. Fast switching in digital blocks generates a noise which can be introduced to analog circuits by the common su...
متن کاملFine-tuning of the ribosomal decoding center by conserved methyl-modifications in the Escherichia coli 16S rRNA
In bacterial 16S rRNAs, methylated nucleosides are clustered within the decoding center, and these nucleoside modifications are thought to modulate translational fidelity. The N(4), 2'-O-dimethylcytidine (m(4)Cm) at position 1402 of the Escherichia coli 16S rRNA directly interacts with the P-site codon of the mRNA. The biogenesis and function of this modification remain unclear. We have identif...
