In Gram-negative bacteria, the multi-domain protein S1 is essential for translation initiation, as it recruits the mRNA and facilitates its localization in the decoding centre. In sharp contrast to its functional importance, S1 is still lacking from the high-resolution structures available for Escherichia coli and Thermus thermophilus ribosomes and thus the molecular mechanism governing the S1–ribosome interaction has still remained elusive. Here, we present the structure of the N-terminal S1 domain D1 when bound to the ribosome at atomic resolution by using a combination of NMR, X-ray crystallography and cryo-electron microscopy. Together with biochemical assays, the structure reveals that S1 is anchored to the ribosome primarily via a stabilizing π-stacking interaction within the short but conserved N-terminal segment that is flexibly connected to domain D1. This interaction is further stabilized by salt bridges involving the zinc binding pocket of protein S2. Overall, this work provides one hitherto enigmatic piece in the ′ribosome puzzle′, namely the detailed molecular insight into the topology of the S1–ribosome interface. Moreover, our data suggest novel mechanisms that have the potential to modulate protein synthesis in response to environmental cues by changing the affinity of S1 for the ribosome. 相似文献

Ribosomal protein S1 is known to play an important role in translational initiation, being directly involved in recognition and binding of mRNAs by 30S ribosomal particles. Using a specially developed procedure based on efficient crosslinking of S1 to mRNA induced by UV irradiation, we have identified S1 binding sites on several phage RNAs in preinitiation complexes. Targets for S1 on Q beta and fr RNAs are localized upstream from the coat protein gene and contain oligo(U)-sequences. In the case of Q beta RNA, this S1 binding site overlaps the S-site for Q beta replicase and the site for S1 binding within a binary complex. It is reasonable that similar U-rich sequences represent S1 binding sites on bacterial mRNAs. To test this idea we have used E. coli ssb mRNA prepared in vitro with the T7 promoter/RNA polymerase system. By the methods of toeprinting, enzymatic footprinting, and UV crosslinking we have shown that binding of the ssb mRNA to 30S ribosomes is S1-dependent. The oligo(U)-sequence preceding the SD domain was found to be the target for S1. We propose that S1 binding sites, represented by pyrimidine-rich sequences upstream from the SD region, serve as determinants involved in recognition of mRNA by the ribosome. 相似文献

We have studied the interactions between the ribosome and the domains of Escherichia coli translation initiation factor 2, using an in vitro ribosomal binding assay with wild-type forms, N- and C-terminal truncated forms of IF2 as well as isolated structural domains. A deletion mutant of the factor consisting of the two N-terminal domains of IF2, binds to both 30S and 50S ribosomal subunits as well as to 70S ribosomes. Furthermore, a truncated form of IF2, lacking the two N-terminal domains, binds to 30S ribosomal subunits in the presence of IF1. In addition, this N-terminal deletion mutant IF2 possess a low but significant affinity for the 70S ribosome which is increased by addition of IF1. The isolated C-terminal domain of IF2 has no intrinsic affinity for the ribosome nor does the deletion of this domain from IF2 affect the ribosomal binding capability of IF2. We conclude that the N-terminus of IF2 is required for optimal interaction of the factor with both 30S and 50S ribosomal subunits. A structural model for the interaction of IF2 with the ribosome is presented. 相似文献

Escherichia coli YjeQ represents a conserved group of bacteria-specific nucleotide-binding proteins of unknown physiological function that have been shown to be essential to the growth of E. coli and Bacillus subtilis. The protein has previously been characterized as possessing a slow steady-state GTP hydrolysis activity (8 h(-1)) (D. M. Daigle, L. Rossi, A. M. Berghuis, L. Aravind, E. V. Koonin, and E. D. Brown, Biochemistry 41: 11109-11117, 2002). In the work reported here, YjeQ from E. coli was found to copurify with ribosomes from cell extracts. The copy number of the protein per cell was nevertheless low relative to the number of ribosomes (ratio of YjeQ copies to ribosomes, 1:200). In vitro, recombinant YjeQ protein interacted strongly with the 30S ribosomal subunit, and the stringency of that interaction, revealed with salt washes, was highest in the presence of the nonhydrolyzable GTP analog 5'-guanylylimidodiphosphate (GMP-PNP). Likewise, association with the 30S subunit resulted in a 160-fold stimulation of YjeQ GTPase activity, which reached a maximum with stoichiometric amounts of ribosomes. N-terminal truncation variants of YjeQ revealed that the predicted OB-fold region was essential for ribosome binding and GTPase stimulation, and they showed that an N-terminal peptide (amino acids 1 to 20 in YjeQ) was necessary for the GMP-PNP-dependent interaction of YjeQ with the 30S subunit. Taken together, these data indicate that the YjeQ protein participates in a guanine nucleotide-dependent interaction with the ribosome and implicate this conserved, essential GTPase as a novel factor in ribosome function. 相似文献

Protein S4 is essential for bacterial small ribosomal subunit assembly and recognizes the 5' domain (approximately 500 nt) of small subunit rRNA. This study characterizes the thermodynamics of forming the S4-5' domain rRNA complex from a thermophile, Bacillus stearothermophilus, and points out unexpected differences from the homologous Escherichia coli complex. Upon incubation of the protein and RNA at temperatures between 35 and 50 degrees C under ribosome reconstitution conditions [350 mM KCl, 8 mM MgCl2, and 30 mM Tris (pH 7.5)], a complex with an association constant of > or = 10(9) M(-1) was observed, more than an order of magnitude tighter than previously found for the homologous E. coli complex under similar conditions. This high-affinity complex was shown to be stoichiometric, in equilibrium, and formed at rates on the order of magnitude expected for diffusion-controlled reactions ( approximately 10(7) M(-1) x s(-1)), though at low temperatures the complex became kinetically trapped. Heterologous binding experiments with E. coli S4 and 5' domain RNA suggest that it is the B. stearothermophilus S4, not the rRNA, that is activated by higher temperatures; the E. coli S4 is able to bind 5' domain rRNA equally well at 0 and 37 degrees C. Tight complex formation requires a low Mg ion concentration (1-2 mM) and is very sensitive to KCl concentration [- partial differential[log(K)]/partial differential(log[KCl]) = 9.3]. The protein has an unusually strong nonspecific binding affinity of 3-5 x 10(6) M(-1), detected as a binding of one or two additional proteins to the target 5' domain RNA or two to three proteins binding a noncognate 23S rRNA fragment of the approximately same size. This binding is not as sensitive to monovalent ion concentration [- partial differential[log(K)]/partial differential(log[KCl]) = 6.3] as specific binding and does not require Mg ion. These findings are consistent with S4 stabilizing a compact form of the rRNA 5' domain. 相似文献

The L8 protein complex consisting of L7/L12 and L10 in Escherichia coli ribosomes is assembled on the conserved region of 23 S rRNA termed the GTPase-associated domain. We replaced the L8 complex in E. coli 50 S subunits with the rat counterpart P protein complex consisting of P1, P2, and P0. The L8 complex was removed from the ribosome with 50% ethanol, 10 mM MgCl(2), 0.5 M NH(4)Cl, at 30 degrees C, and the rat P complex bound to the core particle. Binding of the P complex to the core was prevented by addition of RNA fragment covering the GTPase-associated domain of E. coli 23 S rRNA to which rat P complex bound strongly, suggesting a direct role of the RNA domain in this incorporation. The resultant hybrid ribosomes showed eukaryotic translocase elongation factor (EF)-2-dependent, but not prokaryotic EF-G-dependent, GTPase activity comparable with rat 80 S ribosomes. The EF-2-dependent activity was dependent upon the P complex binding and was inhibited by the antibiotic thiostrepton, a ligand for a portion of the GTPase-associated domain of prokaryotic ribosomes. This hybrid system clearly shows significance of binding of the P complex to the GTPase-associated RNA domain for interaction of EF-2 with the ribosome. The results also suggest that E. coli 23 S rRNA participates in the eukaryotic translocase-dependent GTPase activity in the hybrid system. 相似文献

Leaderless mRNAs beginning with the AUG initiating codon occur in all kingdoms of life. It has been previously reported that translation of the leaderless cI mRNA is stimulated in an Escherichia coli rpsB mutant deficient in ribosomal protein S2. Here, we have studied this phenomenon at the molecular level by making use of an E. coli rpsB(ts) mutant. The analysis of the ribosomes isolated under the non-permissive conditions revealed that in addition to ribosomal protein S2, ribosomal protein S1 was absent, demonstrating that S2 is essential for binding of S1 to the 30S ribosomal subunit. In vitro translation assays and the selective translation of a leaderless mRNA in vivo at the non-permissive temperature corroborate and extend previous in vitro ribosome binding studies in that S1 is indeed dispensable for translation of leaderless mRNAs. The deaD/csdA gene, encoding the "DeaD/CsdA" DEAD-box helicase, has been isolated as a multicopy suppressor of rpsB(ts) mutations. Here, we show that expression of a plasmid-borne DeaD/CsdA gene restores both S1 and S2 on the ribosome at the non-permissive temperature in the rpsB(ts) strain, which in turn leads to suppression of the translational defect affecting canonical mRNSa. These data are discussed in terms of a model, wherein DeaD/CsdA is involved in ribosome biogenesis rather than acting directly on mRNA. 相似文献

Previous experiments showed that S15 inhibits its own translation by binding to its mRNA in a region overlapping the ribosome loading site. This binding was postulated to stabilize a pseudoknot structure that exists in equilibrium with two stem-loops and to trap the ribosome on its mRNA loading site in a transitory state. In this study, we investigated the effect of mutations in the translational operator on: the binding of protein S15, the formation of the 30S/mRNA/tRNA(fMet) ternary initiation complex, the ability of S15 to inhibit the formation of this ternary complex. The results were compared to in vivo expression and repression rates. The results show that (1) the pseudoknot is required for S15 recognition and translational control; (2) mRNA and 16S rRNA efficiently compete for S15 binding and 16S rRNA suppresses the ability of S15 to inhibit the formation of the active ternary complex; (3) the ribosome binds more efficiently to the pseudoknot than to the stem-loop; (4) sequences located between nucleotides 12 to 47 of the S15 coding phase enhances the efficiency of ribosome binding in vitro; this is correlated with enhanced in vivo expression and regulation rates. 相似文献

The spinach chloroplast ribosomal protein (r-protein) CL22 contains a central region homologous to the Escherichia coli r-protein L22 plus long N- and C-terminal extensions. We show in this study that the CL22 combines two properties which in E. coli ribosome are split between two separate proteins. The CL22 which binds to the 5S rRNA can also be linked to an erythromycin derivative added to the 50S ribosomal subunit. This latter property is similar to that of the E. coli L22 and suggests a similar localization in the 50S subunit. We have overproduced the r-protein CL22 and deleted forms of this protein in E. coli. We show that the overproduced CL22 binds to the chloroplast 5S rRNA and that the deleted protein containing the N- and C-terminal extensions only has lost the 5S rRNA binding property. We suggest that the central homologous regions of the CL22 contains the RNA binding domain. 相似文献

The effect of Escherichia coli ribosomal protein S1 on the translational specificity of bacterial ribosomes 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Ribosomes from Gram-negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli exhibit non-specific translation of bacterial mRNAs. That is, they are able to translate mRNAs from a variety of sources in a manner independent of the "strength" of the Shine-Dalgarno region, in contrast to ribosomes from many Gram-positive bacteria, such as Bacillus subtilis, which show specific translation in only being able to translate other Gram-positive mRNA, or mRNAs that have "strong" Shine-Dalgarno regions. There is an evolutionary correlation between the translational specificity and the absence of a protein analogous to E. coli ribosomal protein S1. The specificity observed with B. subtilis ribosomes is a function of their 30 S subunit which lacks S1; translation of Gram-negative mRNA can occur with heterologous ribosomes containing the 30 S subunit of E. coli ribosomes and the 50 S subunit of B. subtilis ribosomes. However, the addition of E. coli S1 alone to B. subtilis ribosome does not overcome their characteristic inability to translate mRNA from Gram-negative organisms. By contrast, the removal of S1 from E. coli ribosomes results in translational behavior similar to that shown by B. subtilis ribosomes in that the S1-depleted E. coli ribosomes can translate mRNA from Gram-positive sources in the absence of added S1, although addition of S1 stimulates further translation of such mRNAs by the E. coli ribosomes. 相似文献

tmRNA (10Sa RNA, ssrA) acts to rescue stalled bacterial ribosomes while encoding a peptide tag added trans-translationally to the nascent peptide, targeting it for proteolysis. Ribosomal protein S1 is required for tmRNA binding to isolated and poly U-programmed ribosomes. Mobility assays on native gels indicate that the binding curves of both recombinant and purified proteins S1 from E. coli is biphasic with apparent binding constants of approximately 90 and approximately 300 nM, respectively, suggesting that more than one protein interacts with tmRNA. Structural probing of native tmRNA in the presence and absence of the purified protein suggest that when S1 binds, tmRNA undergoes a significant conformational change. In the presence of the protein, nucleotides from tmRNA with enhanced (H2, H3, PK1, PK2, PK4, in and around the first triplet to be translated), or decreased (H5 and PK2), reactivity towards a probe specific for RNA single-strands are scattered throughout the molecule, with the exception of the tRNA-like domain that may be dispensable for the interaction. Converging experimental evidence suggests that ribosomal protein S1 binds to pseudoknot PK2. Previous structural studies of tmRNA in solution have revealed several discrepancies between the probing data and the phylogeny, and most of these are reconciled when analyzing tmRNA structure in complex with the protein(s). Ribosomal protein(s) S1 is proposed to set tmRNA in the mRNA mode, relieving strains that may develop when translating a looped mRNA. 相似文献

The 70S ribosome and its complement of factors required for initiation of translation in E. coli were purified separately and reassembled in vitro with GDPNP, producing a stable initiation complex (IC) stalled after 70S assembly. We have obtained a cryo-EM reconstruction of the IC showing IF2*GDPNP at the intersubunit cleft of the 70S ribosome. IF2*GDPNP contacts the 30S and 50S subunits as well as fMet-tRNA(fMet). IF2 here adopts a conformation radically different from that seen in the recent crystal structure of IF2. The C-terminal domain of IF2 binds to the single-stranded portion of fMet-tRNA(fMet), thereby forcing the tRNA into a novel orientation at the P site. The GTP binding domain of IF2 binds to the GTPase-associated center of the 50S subunit in a manner similar to EF-G and EF-Tu. Additionally, we present evidence for the localization of IF1, IF3, one C-terminal domain of L7/L12, and the N-terminal domain of IF2 in the initiation complex. 相似文献

Structural dynamics and functional domains of the fur protein 总被引:28,自引:0,他引:28
Proteolytic enzymes were used to detect metal-induced conformational changes in the ferric uptake regulation (Fur) protein of Escherichia coli K12. Metal binding results in enhanced cleavage of the N-terminal region of Fur by trypsin and chymotrypsin. Activation of both trypsinolysis sensitivity and DNA binding have similar metal ion specificity and concentration dependencies, suggesting that the conformational change detected is required for operator DNA binding. Isolation and characterization of biochemically generated fragments of Fur as well as other data indicate that the N-terminal region is necessary for the interaction of the repressor with DNA and that a C-terminal domain is sufficient for binding to metal ions. 相似文献

Bovine mitochondrial translational initiation factor 2 (IF-2(mt)) is organized into four domains, an N-terminal domain, a central G-domain and two C-terminal domains. These domains correspond to domains III-VI in the six-domain model of Escherichia coli IF-2. Variants in IF-2(mt) were prepared and tested for their abilities to bind the small (28S) subunit of the mitochondrial ribosome. The binding of wild-type IF-2(mt) was strong (K(d) approximately 10-20 nM) and was not affected by fMet-tRNA. Deletion of the N-terminal domain substantially reduced the binding of IF-2(mt) to 28S subunits. However, the addition of fMet-tRNA stimulated the binding of this variant at least 2-fold demonstrating that contacts between fMet-tRNA and IF-2(mt) can stabilize the binding of this factor to 28S subunits. No binding was observed for IF-2(mt) variants lacking the G-domain which probably plays a critical role in organizing the structure of IF-2(mt). IF-2(mt) contains a 37-amino acid insertion region between domains V and VI that is not found in the prokaryotic factors. Mutations in this region caused a significant reduction in the ability of the factor to promote initiation complex formation and to bind 28S subunits. 相似文献
