The aminoacyltransferase I-catalysed binding of phenylalanyl-tRNA (unfractionated Escherichia coli B tRNA acylated with radioactive phenylalanine and 19 non-radioactive amino acids) to skeletal-muscle ribosomes from diabetic rats was less than that to ribosomes from normal rats when the Mg(2+) concentration was low (7.5mm); whereas just the reverse was true when the concentration of the cation was higher (15mm). Thus the Mg(2+) dependency of aminoacyltransferase I-catalysed binding of phenylalanyl-tRNA to ribosomes from normal and diabetic rats paralleled the effect of Mg(2+) concentration on synthesis of polyphenylalanine reported before. During incubation at 7.5mm-Mg(2+) phenylalanyl-tRNA was bound only to ribosomes bearing nascent peptidyl-tRNA. There are fewer such ribosomes in a preparation from the muscle of diabetic animals because diabetic animals synthesize less protein in vivo. Thus the difference in polyphenylalanine synthesis in vitro is adequately explained by the difference in enzyme-catalysed binding of phenylalanyl-tRNA to ribosomes, however, the basis of the difference in protein synthesis in vivo is still unknown. 相似文献

A technique that permitted the reversible dissociation of rat liver ribosomes was used to study the difference in protein-synthetic activity between liver ribosomes of normal and hypophysectomized rats. Ribosomal subunits of sedimentation coefficients 38S and 58S were produced from ferritin-free ribosomes by treatment with 0.8m-KCl at 30 degrees C. These recombined to give 76S monomers, which were as active as untreated ribosomes in incorporating phenylalanine in the presence of poly(U). Subunits from normal and hypophysectomized rats were recombined in all possible combinations and the ability of the hybrid ribosomes to catalyse polyphenylalanine synthesis was measured. The results show that the defect in ribosomes of hypophysectomized rats lies only in the small ribosomal subunit. The 40S but not the 60S subunit of rat liver ribosomes bound poly(U). The only requirement for the reaction was Mg(2+), the optimum concentration of which was 5mm. No apparent difference was seen between the poly(U)-binding abilities of 40S ribosomal subunits from normal or hypophysectomized rats. Phenylalanyl-tRNA was bound by 40S ribosomal subunits in the presence of poly(U) by either enzymic or non-enzymic reactions. Non-enzymic binding required a Mg(2+) concentration in excess of 5mm and increased linearly with increasing Mg(2+) concentrations up to 20mm. At a Mg(2+) concentration of 5mm, GTP and either a 40-70%-saturated-(NH(4))(2)SO(4) fraction of pH5.2 supernatant or partially purified aminotransferase I was necessary for binding of aminoacyl-tRNA. Hypophysectomy of rats resulted in a decreased binding of aminoacyl-tRNA by 40S ribosomal subunits. 相似文献

Conformational studies of Escherichia coli ribosomes with the use of acridine orange as a probe 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The interaction of E. coli vacant ribosomes with acridine orange (AO) was studied, to obtain conformational information about rRNAs in ribosomes. Acridine orange binds to an RNA in two different modes: cooperative outside binding with stacking of bound AO's and intercalation between nucleotide bases. Free 16S and 23S rRNAs have almost identical affinities to AO. At 1 mM Mg2+, AO can achieve stacking binding on about 40% of rRNA phosphate groups. The number of stacking binding sites falls to about 1/3 in the 30S subunit in comparison with free 16S rRNA. In the 50S subunit, the number of stacking binding sites is only 1/5 in comparison with free 23S rRNA. Mg2+ ions are more inhibitory for the binding of AO to ribosomes than to free rRNAs. The strength of stacking binding appears to be more markedly reduced by Mg2+ in active ribosomes than in rRNAs. "Tight couple" 70S particles are less accessible for stacking binding than free subunits. The 30S subunits that have irreversibly lost the capability for 70S formation under low Mg2+ conditions have an affinity to AO that is very different from that of active 30S but similar to that of free rRNA, though the number of stacking binding sites is little changed by the inactivation. 70S and 30S ribosomes with stacking bound AO's have normal sedimentation constants, but the 50S subunits reversibly form aggregates. 相似文献

Polysomes from the skeletal muscle of normal and dystrophic hamsters were dissociated into ribosomal subunits by treatment with puromycin and the subunits from both strains were reassociated in all possible combinations. When their protein synthesis activity was assayed in a poly(U)-directed cell-free system at a low magnesium concentration, the reassociated ribosomes from dystrophic hamsters were less active than the ribosomes from control animals. The ribosomal defect is a property of the 60S subunit and is due to a ribosomal component rather than to abnormal binding of a non-ribosomal protein. 相似文献

Protein synthesis defects in temperature-sensitive mutants of Escherichia coli with altered ribosomal proteins 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

The ribosomes from four temperature-sensitive mutants of Escherichia coli have been examined for defects in cell-free protein synthesis. The mutants examined had alterations in ribosomal proteins S10, S15, or L22 (two strains). Ribosomes from each mutant showed a reduced activity in the translation of phage MS2 RNA at 44 degrees C and were more rapidly inactivated by heating at this temperature compared to control ribosomes. Ribosomal subunits from three of the mutants demonstrated a partial or complete inability to reassociate at 44 degrees C. 70-S ribosomes from two strains showed a reducton in messenger RNA binding. tRNA binding to the 30 S subunit was reduced in the strains with altered 30-S proteins and binding to the 50 S subunit was affected in the mutants with a change in 50 S protein L22. The relation between ribosomal protein structure and function in protein synthesis in these mutants is discussed. 相似文献

Bacterial ribosomes or their 50S subunit can refold many unfolded proteins. The folding activity resides in domain V of 23S RNA of the 50S subunit. Here we show that ribosomes can also refold a denatured chaperone, DnaK, in vitro, and the activity may apply in the folding of nascent DnaK polypeptides in vivo. The chaperone was unusual as the native protein associated with the 50S subunit stably with a 1:1 stoichiometry in vitro. The binding site of the native protein appears to be different from the domain V of 23S RNA, the region with which denatured proteins interact. The DnaK binding influenced the protein folding activity of domain V modestly. Conversely, denatured protein binding to domain V led to dissociation of the native chaperone from the 50S subunit. DnaK thus appears to depend on ribosomes for its own folding, and upon folding, can rebind to ribosome to modulate its general protein folding activity. 相似文献

The size classes of polyribosomes involved in the synthesis of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase large subunit were determined by binding radioiodinated specific antibodies to polyribosomal preparations from Chlamydomonas reinhardi. Antibodies specific to the denatured large subunit and to the native enzyme bound primarily to small polyribosomes (N = two to five ribosomes). The binding of antibodies to small polyribosomes was unexpected since the large subunit is a large polypeptide (molecular weight 55,000) coded for by a corresponding large mRNA (12-14S). Control experiments showed that this unexpected pattern of antibody binding was not a result of messenger RNA degradation, "run-off" of ribosomes from polyribosomes, or adventitious binding of the completed enzyme to a selected class of polyribosomes. In addition, polyribosomes bearing nascent large subunit chains have been immunoprecipitated from small polyribosome fractions. A large RNA species that can direct the synthesis of large subunit in vitro was extracted from small polyribosomes. 相似文献

The signal recognition particle (SRP) from Escherichia coli consists of 4.5S RNA and protein Ffh. It is essential for targeting ribosomes that are translating integral membrane proteins to the translocation pore in the plasma membrane. Independently of Ffh, 4.5S RNA also interacts with elongation factor G (EF-G) and the 30S ribosomal subunit. Here we use a cross-linking approach to probe the conformation of 4.5S RNA in SRP and in the complex with the 30S ribosomal subunit and to map the binding site. The UV-activatable cross-linker p-azidophenacyl bromide (AzP) was attached to positions 1, 21, and 54 of wild-type or modified 4.5S RNA. In SRP, cross-links to Ffh were formed from AzP in all three positions in 4.5S RNA, indicating a strongly bent conformation in which the 5' end (position 1) and the tetraloop region (including position 54) of the molecule are close to one another and to Ffh. In ribosomal complexes of 4.5S RNA, AzP in both positions 1 and 54 formed cross-links to the 30S ribosomal subunit, independently of the presence of Ffh. The major cross-linking target on the ribosome was protein S7; minor cross-links were formed to S2, S18, and S21. There were no cross-links from 4.5S RNA to the 50S subunit, where the primary binding site of SRP is located close to the peptide exit. The functional role of 4.5S RNA binding to the 30S subunit is unclear, as the RNA had no effect on translation or tRNA translocation on the ribosome. 相似文献

The binding of ribosomes and ribosomal subunits to endoplasmic reticulum preparations of mouse liver was studied. (1) Membranes prepared from rough endoplasmic reticulum by preincubation with 0.5m-KCl and puromycin bound 60-80% of added 60S subunits and 10-15% of added 40S subunits. Membranes prepared with pyrophosphate and citrate showed less clear specificity for 60S subunits particularly when assayed at low ionic strengths. (2) Ribosomal 40S subunits bound efficiently to membranes only in the presence of 60S subunits. The reconstituted membrane-60S subunit-40S subunit complex was active in synthesis of peptide bonds. (3) No differences in binding to membranes were seen between subunits derived from free and from membrane-bound ribosomes. (4) It is concluded that the binding of ribosomes to membranes does not require that they be translating a messenger RNA, and that the mechanism whereby bound and free ribosomes synthesize different groups of proteins does not depend on two groups of ribosomes that differ in their ability to bind to endoplasmic reticulum. 相似文献

An approach based on complementation-addressed modification of nucleic acids by oligodeoxyribonucleotide derivatives was proposed for changing the spatial structure of particular RNA sites in order to study their role in the biological activity of the total RNA molecule. Hepatitis C virus (HCV) IRES was used as a model. Oligodeoxyribonucleotide derivatives contained a 4-[N-(2-chloroethyl)-N-methylamino]benzylamino group at the 5'-P and were complementary to various RNA sites located in regions of hairpins II, IIId, or IIIe. Covalent adducts resulting from RNA alkylation with the derivatives were isolated by denaturing PAGE and tested for binding with the 40S subunit of human ribosomes. Structural alteration of hairpin II had no effect, whereas alteration of hairpin IIIe substantially reduced the binding. The RNA with modified hairpin IIId showed virtually no binding with the 40S subunit. Hairpin IIId was assumed to play a critical role in the binding of HCV IRES with the 40S subunit. 相似文献

The kinetics of MS2 ribonucleic acid (RNA) directed protein synthesis have been investigated at seven temperatures between 30 and 47 degrees C by using ribosomes isolated from a wild type strain and seven temperature-sensitive mutants of Escherichia coli. The amount of MS2 coat protein formed at each temperature was determined by gel electrophoresis of the products formed with control ribosomes. With ribosomes from each of the mutant strains, the activation energy required to drive protein synthesis below the maximum temperature (up to 40 degrees C) was increased relative to the control (wild type) activity. Preincubation of the ribosomes at 44 degrees C revealed the kinetics of thermal inactivation, with ribosomes from each of the mutants having a half-life for inactivation less than that of the control ribosomes. A good correlation was observed between the relative activity of the different ribosomes at 44 degrees C and their relative rate of thermal inactivation. Mixing assays allowed the identification of a temperature-sensitive ribosomal subunit for each of the mutants. Defects in one or more of three specific steps in protein synthesis (messenger RNA binding, transfer RNA binding, transfer RNA binding, and subunit reassociation) were identified for the ribosomes from each mutant. The relationship between temperature sensitivity and protein synthesis in these strains is discussed. 相似文献

Plautia stali intestine virus (PSIV) has an internal ribosome entry site (IRES) at the intergenic region of the genome. The PSIV IRES initiates translation with glutamine rather than the universal methionine. To analyze the mechanism of IRES-mediated initiation, binding of IRES RNA to salt-washed ribosomes in the absence of translation factors was studied. Among the three pseudoknots (PKs I, II and III) within the IRES, PK III was the most important for ribosome binding. Chemical footprint analyses showed that the loop parts of the two stem–loop structures in Domain 2, which are highly conserved in related viruses, are protected by 40S but not by 60S ribosomes. Because PK III is close to the two loops, these structural elements were considered to be important for binding of the 40S subunit. Competitive binding analyses showed that the IRES RNA does not bind poly(U)-programmed ribosomes preincubated with tRNAPhe or its anticodon stem– loop (ASL) fragment. However, Domain 3-deleted IRES bound to programmed ribosomes preincubated with the ASL, suggesting that Domains 1 and 2 have roles in IRES binding to 40S subunits and that Domain 3 is located at the ribosome decoding site. 相似文献

Green leaves of the broad bean (Vicia faba) contain two 5S RNA components that can be separated from each other by polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. The major component is located in the larger subunit of cytoplasmic ribosomes, whereas the minor component occurs in the larger subunit of chloroplast ribosomes. Their electrophoretic mobilities relative to those of Escherichia coli 5S RNA (120 nucleotides) and plant 4S RNA (78 nucleotides) suggest that they consist of 118 and 122 nucleotide residues respectively. Thermal ;melting' profiles of plant cytoplasmic and chloroplast 5S RNA species at 260nm indicate the similarity of their secondary structures, not only to each other, but also to those of E. coli and mammalian 5S RNA species. The base compositions of the two plant 5S RNA species have more in common with each other than with the corresponding molecules from either E. coli or mammalian cells. 相似文献

The binding of the aminocyclitol antibiotic spectinomycin to 70S ribosomes and to 30S subunits fromEscherichia coli has been investigated. The association was influenced by the presence of messenger RNA. The Kd for [3H]-4 OH-spectinomycin binding to 70S ribosomes was 2×10–7 M without mRNA (polyinosinic acid), and 1×10–6 M with polyinosinic acid. Dissociation of the antibiotic from the ribosomes was significantly affected by the presence of a bound messenger RNA, which reduced the rate of dissociation by a factor of 5.7. The presence of mRNA did not influence the association of spectinomycin with the 30S subunit. The dissociation rate from the small subunit was comparable to the rate of dissociation from the 70S ribosome and was not affected by the presence of mRNA. 相似文献

Interaction of bovine mitochondrial ribosomes with messenger RNA 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The gene for subunit II of cytochrome oxidase (CoII) from bovine mitochondria has been cloned behind a T7 promoter and the corresponding mRNA synthesized in vitro. The RNA transcribed from this vector has a single nucleotide 5' to the start AUG and, thus, corresponds closely to the native mRNA. It binds to the small 28 S ribosomal subunit of bovine mitochondria but not to the large (39 S) subunit or to 55 S ribosomes. The binding occurs readily in the absence of auxiliary initiation factors or initiator tRNA. The complex formed appears to contain 1 mRNA/28 S subunit. The observed binding is specific for mRNA since neither tRNA nor ribosomal RNA can act as competitive inhibitors. The interaction of the mRNA with the 28 S subunit does not require an AUG codon near the 5' end and constructs containing 5' leaders of more than 100 nucleotides still bind efficiently. About 5% of the bound mRNA is protected from digestion by T1 RNase. The protected fragments do not arise from a specific region of the mRNA since they hybridize to several restriction fragments of the cloned CoII gene. 相似文献

Tight couple (TC) 50S ribosomes on treatment with kethoxal lose their capacity to associate with 30S ribosomes whereas loose couple (LC) 50S ribosomes on such treatment fully retain their association capacity. The same is true for 23S RNAs isolated from treated 50S ribosomes or isolated 23S RNAs directly treated with kethoxal, so far as their capacity to associate with 16S RNA is concerned. At certain Mg++ concentrations TC 23S RNA is highly susceptible to the nucleolytic action of single-strand specific enzyme RNase I; LC 23S RNA is quite resistant. The Mg++-dependencies of the two species of 23S RNAs for association with 16S RNA are also quite different. The fluorescence enhancement of ethidium bromide due to binding to TC 23S RNA is slightly less than LC 23S RNA. The hyperchromicity of LC 23S RNA due to thermal denaturation is somewhat more than TC 23S RNA. LC 23S RNA has slightly more elliptic CD spectrum than TC 23S RNA. These results clearly show that 23S RNAs present in TC and LC 50S ribosomes are distinct from each other. It has been recently demonstrated in this laboratory that they can be interconverted by the agents involved in translocation and thus appear to be conformomers. 相似文献

The binding of mRNA to bovine mitochondrial ribosomes was investigated using triplet codons, homopolymers and heteropolymers of various lengths, and human mitochondrial mRNAs. In the absence of initiation factors and initiator tRNA, mitochondrial ribosomes do not bind triplet codons (AUG and UUU) or homopolymers (oligo(U] shorter than about 10 nucleotides. The RNA binding domain on the 28 S mitoribosomal subunit spans approximately 80 nucleotides of the mRNA, judging from the size of the fragments of poly(U,G) and natural mRNAs protected from RNase T1 digestion by this subunit, but the major binding interaction with the ribosome appears to occur over a 30-nucleotide stretch. Human mitochondrial mRNAs coding for subunits II and III of cytochrome c oxidase and subunit 1 of the NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I) were used in studying in detail the binding of mRNA to the small subunit of bovine mitochondrial ribosomes. We have determined that these mRNAs have considerable secondary structure in their 5'-terminal regions and that the initiation codon of each mRNA is sequestered in a stem structure. Little mRNA was bound to ribosomes in a manner conferring protection of the 5' termini from RNase T1 digestion, under standard conditions supporting the binding of artificial templates, but such binding was greatly stimulated by the addition of a mitochondrial extract. Initiation factors and tRNAs from Escherichia coli were unable to stimulate the 5' terminus protected binding of these mRNA molecules, demonstrating a requirement for homologous factors. Our results strongly suggest that mitochondrial initiation factors are required for the proper recognition and melting of the secondary structure in the 5'-terminal region of mitochondrial mRNAs, as a prerequisite for initiation of protein synthesis in mammalian mitochondria. 相似文献

Summary Expression of resistance to erythromycin in Escherichia coli, caused by an altered L4 protein in the 50S ribosomal subunit, can be masked when two additional ribosomal mutations affecting the 30S proteins S5 and S12 are introduced into the strain (Saltzman, Brown, and Apirion, 1974). Ribosomes from such strains bind erythromycin to the same extent as ribosomes from erythromycin sensitive parental strains (Apirion and Saltzman, 1974).Among mutants isolated for the reappearance of erythromycin resistance, kasugamycin resistant mutants were found. One such mutant was analysed and found to be due to undermethylation of the rRNA. The ribosomes of this strain do not bind erythromycin, thus there is a complete correlation between phenotype of cells with respect to erythromycin resistance and binding of erythromycin to ribosomes.Furthermore, by separating the ribosomal subunits we showed that 50S ribosomes bind or do not bind erythromycin according to their L4 protein; 50S with normal L4 bind and 50S with altered L4 do not bind erythromycin. However, the 30s ribosomes with altered S5 and S12 can restore binding in resistant 50S ribosomes while the 30S ribosomes in which the rRNA also became undermethylated did not allow erythromycin binding to occur.Thus, evidence for an intimate functional relationship between 30S and 50S ribosomal elements in the function of the ribosome could be demonstrated. These functional interrelationships concerns four ribosomal components, two proteins from the 30S ribosomal subunit, S5, and S12, one protein from the 50S subunit L4, and 16S rRNA. 相似文献
