A temperature-sensitive mutant strain of Escherichia coli defective in two RNA processing enzymes, RNase III and RNase E (rnc. rne), fails to produce normal levels of 23 S and 5 S rRNA at the non-permissive temperature. Instead, a molecule larger than 23 S is produced. This molecule, designated 25 S rRNA, can be processed in vitro to produce p5 rRNA. These findings further our understanding of the overall processing events of ribosomal RNA which take place in the bacterial cell. 相似文献

Functional heterogeneity of the 30S ribosomal subunit of E. coli 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Summary When 30S ribosomal subunits from E. coli are incubated with poly U, two separable components are recovered by zonal centrifugation of the incubation mixture. The faster sedimenting component is an aggregate of 30S subunits and poly U, while the slower one corresponds to the 30S ribosomal subunit. One ribosomal protein, protein 30S-1 is predominantly present in the faster sedimenting aggregate. The amount of poly U-30S subunit complex formed in the incubation mixture is limited by the amount of protein 30S-1 present. Consequently the number of ribosomal binding sites available for Phe-tRNA is limited in a similar fashion by the presence of protein 30S-1. When 30S ribosomal subunits are reconstituted in the absence of protein 30S-1, very little poly U or Phe-tRNA binding capacity is manifest under our assay conditions. We conclude that protein 30S-1 is required for maximum capacity of ribosomes to bind mRNA. Since this protein is present only on a fraction of the ribosome at any one time, it must exchange from one ribosome to another during protein synthesis.Abbreviations Poly U

Summary
Escherichia coli was depleted of ribosomes by a thermal shock at 47° C which quantitatively destroyed the 30S ribosomal subunits. During recovery in minimal medium at 30° C RNA is synthesized while protein synthesis resumes only after about 90 min. It is shown that lac mRNA is synthesized in the complete absence of ribosomal activity and hence RNA synthesis is not coupled to protein synthesis. Lac mRNA from a series of lac nonsense mutants was examined in both heated and untreated cells. It was found that the polar effect of nonsense mutation is relieved in the absence of ribosomes and that this relief is due to the synthesis of larger mRNA molecules. Since Rho remained active in thermally treated cells, premature termination at secondary signals within the lac operon must also depend on the presence of active ribosomes.Abbreviations used SSC

Total RNA prepared from E. coli by several extraction procedures behaves as a mixture of covalently continuous heat stable 23S, 16S and 4-5S components. 16S rRNA remains heat stable after isolation from such preparations, whereas isolated 23S rRNA is heat labile but becomes heat stable after EDTA treatment. This and other evidence leads to the conclusion that heat lability of purified 23S rRNA is due, not to nuclease contamination of the type observed in earlier studies of the stability of this RNA, but to polyvalent cation catalyzed temperature-dependent scission of phosphodiester bonds. Heat stability of 23S rRNA in total RNA is due to the presence in these preparations of a contaminant which appears to act as a chelator of polyvalent cations. This material is similar or identical to the pyrogenic E. coli lipopolysaccharide described by Westphal and coll. 相似文献

The digestion of E. coli 16S RNA with a single-strand-specific nuclease produced two fractions separable by gel filtration. One fraction was small oligonucleotides, the other, comprising 67.5% of the total RNA, was highly structured double helical fragments of mol. wt. 7,600. There are thus about 44 helical loops of average size corresponding to 12 base pairs in each 16S RNA. 10% of the RNA could be digested from native 30S subunits. Nuclease attack was primarily in the intraloop single-stranded region but two major sites of attack were located in the interloop single-stranded regions. Nuclease digestion of unfolded subunits produced three classes of fragments, two of which, comprising 80% of the total RNA, were identical to fragments from 16S RNA. The third, consisting of 20% RNA, together with an equal weight of peotein, was a resistant core (sedimentation coefficient 7S). 相似文献

We have developed an ion-exchange high performance liquid chromatographic method for preparative separation of 'core' proteins from E coli 30S ribosomal subunits, extracted with salt under non-denaturing conditions. This method yields individual proteins in pure and native form at high concentrations, (5 to 25 mg/ml) suitable for direct use in 1D-, 2D- or 3D-NMR studies. 相似文献

We have attempted to identify long-range interactions in the tertiary structure of RNA in the E. coli 30 S ribosome. Native subunits were cleaved with ribonuclease and separated into nucleoprotein fragments which were deproteinized and fractionated into multi-oligonucleotide complexes under conditions intended to preserve RNA-RNA interactions. The final products were denatured by urea and heat and their constituent oligonucleotides resolved and sequenced. Many complexes contained complementary sequences known to be bound together in the RNA secondary structure, attesting to the validity of the technique. Other co-migrating oligonucleotides, not joined in the secondary structure, contained mutually complementary sequences in locations that allow base-pairing interaction without disrupting pre-existing secondary structure. In seven instances the complementary relationship was found to have been preserved during phylogenetic diversification. 相似文献

We have previously developed [(1987) Biochemistry 26, 5200-5208] the use of trans-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) to induce reversible RNA-protein crosslinks in the ribosomal 30 S subunit. Protein S18 and, to a lesser extent, proteins S13/S14, S11, S4 and S3 could be crosslinked to the 16 S rRNA. The aim of the present work was to identify the crosslinking sites of protein S18. Three sites could be detected: a major one located in region 825-858, and two others located in regions 434-500 and 233-297. This result is discussed in the light of current knowledge of the topographical localization of S18 in the 30 S subunit and of its relation with function. 相似文献
