The 22 S ribonucleoproten particles containing the 5' (body) and the central (platform) domains of the Thermus thermophilus 30 S subunit has been studied by sedimentation, neutron scattering and electron microscopy. The RNP particles have been obtained by oligonucleotide-directed cleavage of 16 S RNA with ribonulease H in the region of the 900th nucleotide of the protein-deficient derivatives of the 30 S subunits. It is shown that these RNP particles are very compact, though their form and dimensions differ slightly from those expected from the electron microscopy model of the 30 S subunit beheaded by computer simulation. The particles are subdivided into two structural domains whose mutual arrangement differs from that of the corresponding morphological parts of the native 30 S subunit. Electron microscopy demonstrates that the mutual arrangement of domains in the RNP particles is not strictly fixed suggesting that interaction with the third domain of the 30 S subunit is a requisite for their correct fitting. 相似文献

Ribosomal protein S19 is a 10.6 kDa protein in the small subunit of the prokaryotic ribosome. We have determined a high-resolution solution structure of S19 from Thermus thermophilus. Structures were calculated using 1160 distance and dihedral angle restraints derived from (1)H, (15)N and (13)C NMR spectra. The structures show that S19 is a mixed alpha/beta protein with long disordered tails. The folding topology is not homologous to that of any other known protein structure. Potential rRNA and protein binding sites have been identified on the S19 surface. 相似文献

We describe the crystallization and structure determination of the 30 S ribosomal subunit from Thermus thermophilus. Previous reports of crystals that diffracted to 10 A resolution were used as a starting point to improve the quality of the diffraction. Eventually, ideas such as the addition of substrates or factors to eliminate conformational heterogeneity proved less important than attention to detail in yielding crystals that diffracted beyond 3 A resolution. Despite improvements in technology and methodology in the last decade, the structure determination of the 30 S subunit presented some very challenging technical problems because of the size of the asymmetric unit, crystal variability and sensitivity to radiation damage. Some steps that were useful for determination of the atomic structure were: the use of anomalous scattering from the LIII edges of osmium and lutetium to obtain the necessary phasing signal; the use of tunable, third-generation synchrotron sources to obtain data of reasonable quality at high resolution; collection of derivative data precisely about a mirror plane to preserve small anomalous differences between Bijvoet mates despite extensive radiation damage and multi-crystal scaling; the pre-screening of crystals to ensure quality, isomorphism and the efficient use of scarce third-generation synchrotron time; pre-incubation of crystals in cobalt hexaammine to ensure isomorphism with other derivatives; and finally, the placement of proteins whose structures had been previously solved in isolation, in conjunction with biochemical data on protein-RNA interactions, to map out the architecture of the 30 S subunit prior to the construction of a detailed atomic-resolution model. 相似文献

Crystals have been obtained for recombinant ribosomal protein S8 from Thermus thermophilus produced by Escherichia coli. The protein crystals have been grown in 40 mM potassium phosphate buffer (pH 6.0) in hanging drops equilibrated against saturated ammonium sulfate (unbuffered) with 2-methyl-2,4-pentandiol (v/v). The crystals belong to the space group P41(3)212 with cell parameters a= b= 67.65 Å, c= 171.12 Å. They diffract x-rays to 2.9 Å resolution. © 1997 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

The ribosomal protein L23 is a component of the large ribosomal subunit in which it is located close to the peptide exit tunnel. In this position L23 plays a central role both for protein secretion and folding. We have determined the solution structure of L23 from Thermus thermophilus. Uncomplexed L23 consists of a well-ordered part, with four anti-parallel -strands and three -helices connected as ------, and a large and flexible loop inserted between the third and fourth -strand. The observed topology is distantly related to previously known structures, primarily within the area of RNA biochemistry. A comparison with RNA-complexed crystal structures of L23 from T. thermophilus, Deinococcus radiodurans and Haloarcula marismourtui, shows that the conformation of the well-ordered part is very similar in the uncomplexed and complexed states. However, the flexible loop found in the uncomplexed solution structure forms a rigid extended structure in the complexed crystal structures as it interacts with rRNA and becomes part of the exit tunnel wall. Structural characteristics of importance for the interaction with rRNA and with the ribosomal protein L29, as well as the functional role of L23, are discussed. 相似文献

The total protein mixture from the 50S subunit (TP-50) of the eubacterium Thermus thermophilus was characterized after blotting onto PVDF membranes from two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2D-PAGE) and sequencing. The proteins were numbered according to their primary structure similarity with their counterparts from other species. One of them has been marked with an asterisk, namely L*23, because unlike the other known ribosomal proteins it shows a very low degree of homology. A highly acidic 5S rRNA binding protein, TL5, was characterized and compared with the available primary structure information. Proteins L1 and L4 migrate similarly on 2D-PAGE. Protein L4, essential for protein biosynthesis, is N-terminally blocked and shows a strikingly low homology to other L4 proteins. In addition to L4, two other proteins, namely L10 and L11, were found to be N-terminally blocked. In conclusion, 33 proteins from the large subunit were identified, including TL5. Homologs to rpL25 and rpL26 were not found. 相似文献

Crystals of the small ribosomal subunit from Thermus thermophilus diffract to 3A and exhibit reasonable isomorphism and moderate resistance to irradiation. A 5A MIR map of this particle shows a similar shape to the part assigned to this particle within the cryo-EM reconstructions of the whole ribosome and contains regions interpretable either as RNA chains or as protein motifs. To assist phasing at higher resolution we introduced recombinant methods aimed at extensive selenation for MAD phasing. We are focusing on several ribosomal proteins that can be quantitatively detached by chemical means. These proteins can be modified and subsequently reconstituted into depleted ribosomal cores. They also can be used for binding heavy atoms, by incorporating chemically reactive binding sites, such as -SH groups, into them. In parallel we are co-crystallizing the ribosomal particles with tailor made ligands, such as antibiotics or cDNA to which heavy-atoms have been attached or diffuse the latter compounds into already formed crystals. 相似文献

Ribosomal protein L16 is an essential component of the bacterial ribosome. It organizes the architecture of aminoacyl tRNA binding site in the ribosome 50S subunit. The three-dimensional structure of L16 from Thermus thermophilus HB8 was determined by NMR. In solution, L16 forms an alpha+beta sandwich structure combined with two additional beta sheets located at the loop regions connecting the two layers. The terminal regions and a central loop region did not show any specific secondary structure. The structured part of L16 could be superimposed well on the C(alpha) model of L16 determined in the crystal structure of the ribosome 50S subunit. By overlaying the L16 solution structure onto the coordinates of the ribosome crystal structure, we constructed the combined model that represents the ribosome-bound state of L16 in the detailed structure. The model showed that L16 possesses residues in contact with helices 38, 39, 42, 43 and 89 of 23S rRNA and helix 4 of 5S rRNA. This suggests its broad effect on the ribosome architecture. Comparison of L16 with the L10e protein, which is the archaeal counterpart, showed that they share a common fold, but differ in some regions of functional importance, especially in the N-terminal region. All known mutation sites in L16 that confer resistance to avilamycin and evernimicin were positioned so that their side-chains were exposed to solvent in the internal cavity of the ribosome. This suggests the direct participation of L16 as a part of the binding site for antibiotics. 相似文献

In the crystal structure of the 30S ribosomal subunit from Thermus thermophilus, cysteine 24 of ribosomal protein S14 (TthS14) occupies the first position in a CXXC-X12-CXXC motif that coordinates a zinc ion. The structural and functional importance of cysteine 24, which is widely conserved from bacteria to humans, was studied by its replacement with serine and by incorporating the resulting mutant into Escherichia coli ribosomes. The capability of such modified ribosomes in binding tRNA at the P and A-sites was equal to that obtained with ribosomes incorporating wild-type TthS14. In fact, both chimeric ribosomal species exhibited 20% lower tRNA affinity compared with native E. coli ribosomes. In addition, replacement of the native E. coli S14 by wild-type, and particularly by mutant TthS14, resulted in reduced capability of the 30S subunit for association with 50S subunits. Nevertheless, ribosomes from transformed cells sedimented normally and had a full complement of proteins. Unexpectedly, the peptidyl transferase activity in the chimeric ribosomes bearing mutant TthS14 was much lower than that measured in ribosomes incorporating wild-type TthS14. The catalytic center of the ribosome is located within the 50S subunit and, therefore, it is unlikely to be directly affected by changes in the structure of S14. More probably, the perturbing effects of S14 mutation on the catalytic center seem to be propagated by adjacent intersubunit bridges or the P-site tRNA molecule, resulting in weak donor-substrate reactivity. This hypothesis was verified by molecular dynamics simulation analysis. 相似文献

The assembly of ribosomes requires a significant fraction of the energy expenditure for rapidly growing bacteria. The ribosome is composed of three large RNA molecules and over 50 small proteins that must be rapidly and efficiently assembled into the molecular machine responsible for protein synthesis. For over 30 years, the 30S ribosome has been a key model system for understanding the process of ribosome biogenesis through in vitro assembly experiments. We have recently developed an isotope pulse-chase experiment using quantitative mass spectrometry that permits assembly kinetics to be measured in real time. Kinetic studies have revealed an assembly energy landscape that ensures efficient assembly by a flexible and robust pathway. 相似文献

The structure of protein SI of Thermus thermophilus (M = 61 kDa) in solution at low and moderate ionic strengths (0 M and 100 mM NaCl, respectively) has been studied by small-angle X-ray and neutron scattering. It was found that protein S1 has a globular conformation under both ionic conditions. The modelling of different packing of six homologous domains of S1 on the basis of the NMR-resolved structure of one domain showed that the best fit of calculated scattering patterns from such complexes to experimental ones is observed at a compact package of the domains. The calculated value of the radius of gyration of the models is 28-29 angtroms, which is characteristic for globular proteins with a molecular mass of about 60 kDa. It was found that protein S1 has a tendency to form associates, and the type of the associate depends on ionic strength. These associates have, in general, two or three monomers at a moderate ionic strength, while at a low ionic strength the number of monomers exceeds three and they are packed in a compact manner. Strongly elongated associates were observed in neutron experiments at a moderate ionic strength in heavy water. The association of protein molecules was also confirmed by the data of dynamic light scattering. From these data, the translational diffusion coefficient of protein S1 at a moderate ionic strength was calculated to be (D20,w = (2.7 +/- 0.1) x 10(-7)cm2/s). This value is essentially smaller than the expected value (D20,w = (5.8 - 6.0) x 10(-7)cm2/s) for the S1 monomer in the globular conformation, indicating the association of protein molecules under equilibrium conditions. 相似文献

The metal binding properties of the CCCH motif of the 50S ribosomal protein L36 from Thermus thermophilus. 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The TthL36 protein of the 50S ribosomal proteins from Thermus thermophilus has been found to contain the rare C(Xaa)2C(Xaa)12C(Xaa)4H (CCCH) sequence motif, a zinc finger binding motif, which for other zinc finger proteins is known to cleave RNA hairpins. In order to investigate the metal-binding properties of this T. thermophilus TthL36 protein, the core 26-mer polypeptide containing this CCCH motif was prepared by solid-phase peptide synthesis methods using Fmoc chemistry, purified by preparative RP-HPLC and characterized by circular dichroism, high-performance capillary zone electrophoresis and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. Reaction of the acetamidomethyl (Acm)-protected polypeptide with iodine under acidic conditions resulted in the formation of the fully de-protected polypeptide. Of interest, the results demonstrate that the standard Acm-deprotection method with the synthetic TthL36 polypeptide using mercuric acetate in the presence of a large excess of 2-mercaptoethanol resulted in preferential formation of a very stable mercuro-polypeptide complex. The properties of the Acm-deprotected polypeptide in the presence of different metal ions were also investigated by spectroscopic methods. The results confirm that this TthL36 polypeptide containing the CCCH motif binds metal ions with different affinities, namely in the order Co(II)>Hg(II)>Zn(II). 相似文献

The results of neutron distance measurement involving ribosomal protein S1 from Escherichia coli are reported. These data provide a position for S1 on the small ribosomal subunit. They also indicate that S1, bound to the ribosome, has a radius of gyration of 60 to 65 Å, suggesting that its axial ratio in the bound state is similar to that it has as a free molecule in solution; namely, 10: 1. The implications of these results for our understanding of the mode of action of S1 are discussed. 相似文献

Interaction of Era with the 30S ribosomal subunit implications for 30S subunit assembly 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

Era (E. coliRas-like protein) is a highly conserved and essential GTPase in bacteria. It binds to the 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) of the small (30S) ribosomal subunit, and its depletion leads to accumulation of an unprocessed precursor of the 16S rRNA. We have obtained a three-dimensional cryo-electron microscopic map of the Thermus thermophilus 30S-Era complex. Era binds in the cleft between the head and platform of the 30S subunit and locks the subunit in a conformation that is not favorable for association with the large (50S) ribosomal subunit. The RNA binding KH motif present within the C-terminal domain of Era interacts with the conserved nucleotides in the 3' region of the 16S rRNA. Furthermore, Era makes contact with several assembly elements of the 30S subunit. These observations suggest a direct involvement of Era in the assembly and maturation of the 30S subunit. 相似文献

Assembly of the 30S ribosomal subunit: positioning ribosomal protein S13 in the S7 assembly branch 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:2

Studies of Escherichia coli 30S ribosomal subunit assembly have revealed a hierarchical and cooperative association of ribosomal proteins with 16S ribosomal RNA; these results have been used to compile an in vitro 30S subunit assembly map. In single protein addition and omission studies, ribosomal protein S13 was shown to be dependent on the prior association of ribosomal protein S20 for binding to the ribonucleoprotein particle. While the overwhelming majority of interactions revealed in the assembly map are consistent with additional data, the dependency of S13 on S20 is not. Structural studies position S13 in the head of the 30S subunit > 100 A away from S20, which resides near the bottom of the body of the 30S subunit. All of the proteins that reside in the head of the 30S subunit, except S13, have been shown to be part of the S7 assembly branch, that is, they all depend on S7 for association with the assembling 30S subunit. Given these observations, the assembly requirements for S13 were investigated using base-specific chemical footprinting and primer extension analysis. These studies reveal that S13 can bind to 16S rRNA in the presence of S7, but not S20. Additionally, interaction between S13 and other members of the S7 assembly branch have been observed. These results link S13 to the 3' major domain family of proteins, and the S7 assembly branch, placing S13 in a new location in the 30S subunit assembly map where its position is in accordance with much biochemical and structural data. 相似文献

A comparative study of the 30S ribosomal subunit in the complex with protein S1 and the subunit depleted of this protein has been carried out by the hot tritium bombardment method. Differences in exposure of some ribosomal proteins within the 30S subunit depleted of S1 and within the 30S–S1 complex were found. It was concluded that protein S1 binds in the region of the neck of the 30S ribosomal subunit inducing a conformational change of its structure. 相似文献
