The 30 S ribosomal subunit from Escherichia coli was unfolded into discrete particles upon which physical studies were carried out. These particles were found to be homogeneous and were characterized using sedimentation velocity, diffusion, density and viscosity measurements. The results of these studies clearly certify two distinct stages of unfolding, neither involving a significant loss of protein. However, the results also clearly show that the measurement of only one characteristic (e.g., the sedimentation coefficient) is not sufficient to suggest a structural change. The significance and importance of the apparent specific volume are stressed. 相似文献

The RimM protein in Escherichia coli is associated with free 30S ribosomal subunits but not with 70S ribosomes. A DeltarimM mutant is defective in 30S maturation and accumulates 17S rRNA. To study the interaction of RimM with the 30S and its involvement in 30S maturation, RimM amino acid substitution mutants were constructed. A mutant RimM (RimM-YY-->AA), containing alanine substitutions for two adjacent tyrosines within the PRC beta-barrel domain, showed a reduced binding to 30S and an accumulation of 17S rRNA compared to wild-type RimM. The (RimM-YY-->AA) and DeltarimM mutants had significantly lower amounts of polysomes and also reduced levels of 30S relative to 50S compared to a wild-type strain. A mutation in rpsS, which encodes r-protein S19, suppressed the polysome- and 16S rRNA processing deficiencies of the RimM-YY-->AA but not that of the DeltarimM mutant. A mutation in rpsM, which encodes r-protein S13, suppressed the polysome deficiency of both rimM mutants. Suppressor mutations, found in either helices 31 or 33b of 16S rRNA, improved growth of both the RimM-YY-->AA and DeltarimM mutants. However, they suppressed the 16S rRNA processing deficiency of the RimM-YY-->AA mutant more efficiently than that of the DeltarimM mutant. Helices 31 and 33b are known to interact with S13 and S19, respectively, and S13 is known to interact with S19. A GST-RimM but not a GST-RimM(YY-->AA) protein bound strongly to S19 in 30S. Thus, RimM likely facilitates maturation of the region of the head of 30S that contains S13 and S19 as well as helices 31 and 33b. 相似文献

rig, a gene originally isolated from a rat insulinoma cDNA library, codes for a basic 145 amino acid protein [( 1986) Diabetes 35, 1178-1180]. Here we show that the immunoreactivity to a monoclonal antibody against the deduced rig protein and the translation product of rig mRNA comigrated with ribosomal protein S15. The amino acid sequence of ribosomal protein S15 purified from rat liver coincided with that deduced from the nucleotide sequence of rig mRNA, but there were indications that the initiator methionine was removed and the succeeding alanyl residue was monoacetylated. From these results, we conclude that the product of rig is ribosomal protein S15. 相似文献

Cross-links between ribosomal proteins of 30S subunits in 70S tight couples and in 30S subunits 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Ribosome 70S tight couples and 30S subunits derived from them were modified with 2-iminothiolane under conditions where about two sulfhydryl groups per protein were added to the ribosomal particles. The 70S and 30S particles were not treated with elevated concentrations of NH4Cl, in contrast to those used in earlier studies. The modified particles were oxidized to promote disulfide bond formation. Proteins were extracted from the cross-linked particles by using conditions to preclude disulfide interchange. Disulfide-linked protein complexes were fractionated on the basis of charge by electrophoresis in polyacrylamide/urea gels at pH 5.5. The proteins from sequential slices of the urea gels were analyzed by two-dimensional diagonal polyacrylamide/sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis. Final identification of proteins in cross-linked complexes was made by radioiodination of the proteins, followed by two-dimensional polyacrylamide/urea gel electrophoresis. Attention was focused on cross-links between 30S proteins. We report the identification of 27 cross-linked dimers and 2 trimers of 30S proteins, all but one of which were found in both 70S ribosomes and free 30S subunits in similar yield. Seven of the cross-links, S3-S13, S13-S21, S14-S19, S7-S12, S9-S13, S11-S21, and S6-S18-S21, have not been reported previously when 2-iminothiolane was used. Cross-links S3-S13, S13-S21, S7-S12, S11-S21, and S6-S18-S21 are reported for the first time. The identification of the seven new cross-links is illustrated and discussed in detail. Ten of the dimers reported in the earlier studies of Sommer & Traut (1976) [Sommer, A., & Traut, R. R. (1976) J. Mol. Biol. 106, 995-1015], using 30S subunits treated with high salt concentrations, were not found in the experiments reported here. 相似文献

Assembly of the 30S ribosomal subunit occurs in a highly ordered and sequential manner. The ordered addition of ribosomal proteins to the growing ribonucleoprotein particle is initiated by the association of primary binding proteins. These proteins bind specifically and independently to 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA). Two primary binding proteins, S8 and S15, interact exclusively with the central domain of 16S rRNA. Binding of S15 to the central domain results in a conformational change in the RNA and is followed by the ordered assembly of the S6/S18 dimer, S11 and finally S21 to form the platform of the 30S subunit. In contrast, S8 is not part of this major platform assembly branch. Of the remaining central domain binding proteins, only S21 association is slightly dependent on S8. Thus, although S8 is a primary binding protein that extensively contacts the central domain, its role in assembly of this domain remains unclear. Here, we used directed hydroxyl radical probing from four unique positions on S15 to assess organization of the central domain of 16S rRNA as a consequence of S8 association. Hydroxyl radical probing of Fe(II)-S15/16S rRNA and Fe(II)-S15/S8/16S rRNA ribonucleoprotein particles reveal changes in the 16S rRNA environment of S15 upon addition of S8. These changes occur predominantly in helices 24 and 26 near previously identified S8 binding sites. These S8-dependent conformational changes are consistent with 16S rRNA folding in complete 30S subunits. Thus, while S8 binding is not absolutely required for assembly of the platform, it appears to affect significantly the 16S rRNA environment of S15 by influencing central domain organization. 相似文献

1. Crude extracts of Escherichia coli were used to synthesize nascent peptides under the direction of endogenous mRNA and in the presence of radioactive amino acids. Analysis of such extracts by sucrose-gradient centrifugation in low Mg2+ concentration has shown that after 2min of incubation approximately 14% of the total labelled protein recovered on the gradient, in association with whole ribosomes, sediments with 30S ribosomal subunits; this value rises to approximately 24% after 30min of incubation. The labelled protein associated with 30S ribosomal subunits is insoluble in hot trichloroacetic acid. 2. Similar results were also obtained in extracts that synthesized polypeptides under the direction of either of the synthetic polyribonucleotides poly(A) or poly(A,G,C,U). In contrast, however, analysis of crude extracts programmed in protein synthesis by poly(U) has indicated that under these conditions 30S ribosomal subunits have no associated polyphenylalanine; similarly there is little associated peptide after programming of extracts by poly(U,C). 相似文献

Four decades after early in vitro assembly studies demonstrated that ribosome assembly is a controlled process, our understanding of ribosome assembly is still incomplete. Just as structure determination has been so important to understanding ribosome function, so too will it be critical to sorting out the assembly process. Here, we used a viable deletion in the yjeQ gene, a recognized ribosome assembly factor, to isolate and structurally characterize immature 30S subunits assembled in vivo. These small ribosome subunits contained unprocessed 17S rRNA and lacked some late ribosomal proteins. Cryo-electron microscopy reconstructions revealed that the presence of precursor sequences in the rRNA induces a severe distortion in the 3' minor domain of the subunit involved in the decoding of mRNA and interaction with the large ribosome subunit. These findings suggest that rRNA processing events induce key local conformational changes directing the structure toward the mature assembly. We concluded that rRNA processing, folding, and the entry of tertiary r-proteins are interdependent events in the late stages of 30S subunit assembly. In addition, we demonstrate how studies of emerging assembly factors in ribosome biogenesis can help to elucidate the path of subunit assembly in vivo. 相似文献

Proteins of free and polysome-derived ribosomal subunits of Bacillus licheniformis were fractionated by means of two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The free and derived 30S subunits have twelve protein components in common. Five proteins are present on the free 30S subunits only, whereas four proteins are exclusively found on the derived 30S subunits. The free and derived 50S subunits have at least twenty-eight proteins in common. Four proteins are unique for the derived and one for the free 50S subunits. 相似文献

The protein composition of reconstituted 30S ribosomal subunits: the effects of single protein omission. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Using reverse phase HPLC, we have been able to quantify the protein compositions of reconstituted 30S ribosomal subunits, formed either with the full complement of 30S proteins in the reconstitution mix or with a single protein omitted. We denote particles formed in the latter case as SPORE (single protein omission reconstitution) particles. An important goal in 30S reconstitution studies is the formation of reconstituted subunits having uniform protein composition, preferably corresponding to one copy of each protein per reconstituted particle. Here we describe procedures involving variation of the protein:rRNA ratio that approach this goal. In SPORE particles the omission of one protein often results in the partial loss in uptake of other proteins. We also describe procedures to increase the uptake of such proteins into SPORE particles, thus enhancing the utility of the SPORE approach in defining the role of specific proteins in 30S structure and function. The losses of proteins other than the omitted protein provide a measure of protein:protein interaction within the 30S subunit. Most of these losses are predictable on the basis of other such measures. However, we do find evidence for several long-range protein:protein interactions (S6:S3, S6:S12, S10:S16, and S6:S4) that have not been described previously. 相似文献

Stepwise dissociation of yeast 60S ribosomal subunits by LiCl and identification of L25 as a primary 26S rRNA binding protein 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12
Treatment of yeast 60S ribosomal subunits with 0.5 M LiCl was found to remove all but six of the ribosomal proteins. The proteins remaining associated with the (26S + 5.8S) rRNA complex were identified as L4, L8, L10, L12, L16 and L25. These core proteins were split off sequentially in the order (L16 + L12), L10, (L4 + L8), L25 by further increasing the LiCl concentration. At 1.0 M LiCl only ribosomal protein L25 remains bound to the rRNA. Upon lowering the LiCl concentration the core proteins reassociate with the rRNA in the reverse order of their removal. The susceptibility of the ribosomal proteins to removal by LiCl corresponds quite well with their order of assembly into the 60S subunit in vivo as determined earlier [Kruiswijk et al. (1978) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 517, 378-389]. Binding studies in vitro using partially purified L25 showed that this protein binds specifically to 26S rRNA. Therefore our experiments for the first time directly identify a eukaryotic ribosomal protein capable of binding to high-molecular-mass rRNA. Binding studies in vitro using a blot technique demonstrated that core proteins L8 and L16 as well as protein L21, though not present in any of the core particles, are also capable of binding to 26S rRNA to approximately the same extent as L25. About nine additional 60S proteins appeared to interact with the 26S rRNA, though to a lesser extent. 相似文献

Ribosomal protein S7 nucleates folding of the 16 S rRNA 3' major domain, which ultimately forms the head of the 30 S ribosomal subunit. Recent crystal structures indicate that S7 lies on the interface side of the 30 S subunit, near the tRNA binding sites of the ribosome. To map the functional surface of S7, we have tagged the protein with a Protein Kinase A recognition site and engineered alanine substitutions that target each exposed, conserved residue. We have also deleted conserved features of S7, using its structure to guide our design. By radiolabeling the tag sequence using Protein Kinase A, we are able to track the partitioning of each mutant protein into 30 S, 70 S, and polyribosome fractions in vivo. Overexpression of S7 confers a growth defect, and we observe a striking correlation between this phenotype and proficiency in 30 S subunit assembly among our collection of mutants. We find that the side chain of K35 is required for efficient assembly of S7 into 30 S subunits in vivo, whereas those of at least 17 other conserved exposed residues are not required. In addition, an S7 derivative lacking the N-terminal 17 residues causes ribosomes to accumulate on mRNA to abnormally high levels, indicating that our approach can yield interesting mutant ribosomes. 相似文献
