To identify RNA motifs interacting with 5S rRNA, a systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment experiment was applied. Some of the resulting RNA aptamers contained a consensus sequence similar to the sequence in the loop region of helix 89 of 23S rRNA. We show that the synthetic helix 89 RNA motif indeed interacted with 5S rRNA and that the region around loop B of 5S rRNA was involved in this interaction. These results suggest the presence of a novel RNA-RNA interaction between 23S rRNA and 5S rRNA which may play an important role in the ribosome function. 相似文献

Unlike most DEAD/H proteins, the purified Escherichia coli protein DbpA demonstrates high specificity for its 23S rRNA substrate in vitro. Here we describe several assays designed to characterize the interaction of DbpA with its RNA and ATP substrates. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays reveal a sub-nanomolar binding affinity for a 153 nucleotide RNA substrate (R153) derived from the 23S rRNA. High affinity RNA binding requires both hairpin 92 and helix 90, as substrates lacking these structures bind DbpA with lower affinity. AMPPNP inhibition assays and ATP/ADP binding assays provide binding constants for ATP and ADP to DbpA with and without RNA substrates. These data have been used to describe a minimal thermodynamic scheme for the binding of the RNA and ATP substrates to DbpA, which reveals cooperative binding between larger RNAs and ATP with cooperative energies of approximately 1.3 kcal mol(-1). This cooperativity is lost upon removal of helix 89 from R153, suggesting this helix is either the preferred target for DbpA's helicase activity or is a necessary structural element for organization of the target site within R153. 相似文献

The isomerization of uridine to pseudouridine is the most common type of RNA modification found in RNAs across all domains of life and is performed by RNA-dependent and RNA-independent enzymes. The Escherichia coli pseudouridine synthase RluE acts as a stand-alone, highly specific enzyme forming the universally conserved pseudouridine at position 2457, located in helix 89 (H89) of the 23S rRNA in the peptidyltransferase center. Here, we conduct a detailed structure–function analysis to determine the structural elements both in RluE and in 23S rRNA required for RNA–protein interaction and pseudouridine formation. We determined that RluE recognizes a large part of 23S rRNA comprising both H89 and the single-stranded flanking regions which explains the high substrate specificity of RluE. Within RluE, the target RNA is recognized through sequence-specific contacts with loop L7–8 as well as interactions with loop L1–2 and the flexible N-terminal region. We demonstrate that RluE is a faster pseudouridine synthase than other enzymes which likely enables it to act in the early stages of ribosome formation. In summary, our biochemical characterization of RluE provides detailed insight into the molecular mechanism of RluE forming a highly conserved pseudouridine during ribosome biogenesis. 相似文献

The conserved 900 tetraloop that caps helix 27 of 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) interacts with helix 24 of 16S rRNA and also with helix 67 of 23S rRNA, forming the intersubunit bridge B2c, proximal to the decoding center. In previous studies, we investigated how the interaction between the 900 tetraloop and helix 24 participates in subunit association and translational fidelity. In the present study, we investigated whether the 900 tetraloop is involved in other undetected interactions with different regions of the Escherichia coli 16S rRNA. Using a genetic complementation approach, we selected mutations in 16S rRNA that compensate for a 900 tetraloop mutation, A900G, which severely impairs subunit association and translational fidelity. Mutations were randomly introduced in 16S rRNA, using either a mutagenic XL1-Red E. coli strain or an error-prone PCR strategy. Gain-offunction mutations were selected in vivo with a specialized ribosome system. Two mutations, the deletion of U12 and the U12C substitution, were thus independently selected in helix 1 of 16S rRNA. This helix is located in the vicinity of helix 27, but does not directly contact the 900 tetraloop in the crystal structures of the ribosome. Both mutations correct the subunit association and translational fidelity defects caused by the A900G mutation, revealing an unanticipated functional interaction between these two regions of 16S rRNA. 相似文献

We have cloned and sequenced rRNA operons of Clostridium perfringens strain 13 and analyzed the sequence structure in view of the phylogenesis. The organism had ten copies of rRNA operons all of that comprised of 16S, 23S and 5S rDNAs except for one operon. The operons clustered around the origin of replication, ranging within one-third of the whole genome sequence as it is arranged in a circle. Seven operons were transcribed in clockwise direction, and the remaining three were transcribed in counter clockwise direction assuming that the gyrA was transcribed in clockwise direction. Two of the counter clockwise operons contained tRNA(Ile) genes between the 16S and 23S rDNAs, and the other had a tRNA(Ile) genes between the 16S and 23S rDNAs and a tRNA(Asn) gene in the place of the 5S rDNA. Microheterogeneity was found within the rRNA structural genes and spacer regions. The length of each 16S, 23S and 5S rDNA were almost identical among the ten operons, however, the intergenic spacer region of 16S-23S and 23S-5S were variable in the length depending on loci of the rRNA operons on the chromosome. Nucleotide sequences of the helix 19, helix 19a, helix 20 and helix 21 of 23S rDNA were divergent and the diversity appeared to be correlated with the loci of the rRNA operons on the chromosome. 相似文献

Oligoribonucleotide derivatives containing Phe codon UUC along with a 3-flanking sense or stop codon with a perfluoroarylazido group at G or U were used to study the positioning of each nucleotide of the latter codon relative to the 18S rRNA in the A site of the 80S ribosome. To place the modified sense or stop codon in the A site, tRNAPhe cognate to UCC was bound in the P site. Regardless of the position in the sense or stop codon, the modified nucleotide crosslinked with invariant dinucleotide A1823/A1824 and nucleotide A1825 in helix 44 close to the 3 end of the 18S rRNA. Located in the second or third position of either codon, the modified G bound with invariant nucleotide G626, which is in the evolutionarily conserved 530 stem–loop fragment. The results were collated with the X-ray structure of the bacterial ribosome, and the template codon was assumed to be similarly arranged relative to the small-subunit rRNA in the ribosomal A site of various organisms. 相似文献

Additional Watson-Crick interactions suggest a structural core in large subunit ribosomal RNA 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

Two new Watson-Crick type interactions in 23S-like ribosomal RNA have been identified by comparative sequence analysis. These interactions, A1269/U2011 and C1270/G2010 (E. coli numbering) along with the previously proposed A1262/U2017 suggest an anti-parallel helical arrangement characteristic of secondary structure in the 1265/2015 region of 23S rRNA. Nested within these three interactions are three universal juxtapositions which in principle allow the formation of an irregular helix containing two additional A-G interactions and a universal A-U pair. Whether or not this extended helix is biologically significant is uncertain. The proponderance of interactions in the 1265/2015 region and its location relative to the known structural domains of 23S rRNA suggest that this region may be part of a central structural core similar to that already known in 16S rRNA. 相似文献

Using the previously described "tagged ribosome" (pORCS) system for in vivo mutational analysis of yeast rDNA, we show that small deletions in the 5'-terminal portion of ITS2 completely block maturation of 26 S rRNA at the level of the 29 SB precursor (5.8 S rRNA-ITS2-26 S rRNA). Various deletions in the 3'-terminal part, although severely reducing the efficiency of processing, still allow some mature 26 S rRNA to be formed. On the other hand, none of the ITS2 deletions affect the production of mature 17 S rRNA. Since all of the deletions severely disturb the recently proposed secondary structure of ITS2, these findings suggest an important role for higher order structure of ITS2 in processing. Analysis of the effect of complete or partial replacement of S. cerevisiae ITS2 with its counterpart sequences from Saccharomyces rosei or Hansenula wingei, points to helix V of the secondary structure model as an important element for correct and efficient processing. Direct mutational analysis shows that disruption of base-pairing in the middle of helix V does not detectably affect 26 S rRNA formation. In contrast, introduction of clustered point mutations at the apical end of helix V that both disrupt base-pairing and change the sequence of the loop, severely reduces processing. Since a mutant containing only point mutations in the sequence of the loop produces normal amounts of mature 26 S rRNA, we conclude that the precise (secondary and/or primary) structure at the lower end of helix V, but excluding the loop, is of crucial importance for efficient removal of ITS2. 相似文献

23S rRNA from Escherichia coli was cleaved at single internucleotide bonds using ribonuclease H in the presence of appropriate chimeric oligonucleotides; the individual cleavage sites were between residues 384 and 385, 867 and 868, 1045 and 1046, and 2510 and 2511, with an additional fortuitous cleavage at positions 1117 and 1118. In each case, the 3'' terminus of the 5'' fragment was ligated to radioactively labeled 4-thiouridine 5''-,3''-biphosphate ("psUp"), and the cleaved 23S rRNA carrying this label was reconstituted into 50S subunits. The 50S subunits were able to associate normally with 30S subunits to form 70S ribosomes. Intra-RNA crosslinks from the 4-thiouridine residues were induced by irradiation at 350 nm, and the crosslink sites within the 23S rRNA were analyzed. The rRNA molecules carrying psUp at positions 867 and 1117 showed crosslinks to nearby positions on the opposite strand of the same double helix where the cleavage was located, and no crosslinking was detected from position 2510. In contrast, the rRNA carrying psUp at position 384 showed crosslinking to nt 420 (and sometimes also to 416 and 425) in the neighboring helix in 23S rRNA, and the rRNA with psUp at position 1045 gave a crosslink to residue 993. The latter crosslink demonstrates that the long helix 41-42 of the 23S rRNA (which carries the region associated with GTPase activity) must double back on itself, forming a "U-turn" in the ribosome. This result is discussed in terms of the topography of the GTPase region in the 50S subunit, and its relation to the locations of the 5S rRNA and the peptidyl transferase center. 相似文献

The kink-turn: a new RNA secondary structure motif 总被引:29,自引:0,他引:29
Analysis of the Haloarcula marismortui large ribosomal subunit has revealed a common RNA structure that we call the kink-turn, or K-turn. The six K-turns in H.marismortui 23S rRNA superimpose with an r.m.s.d. of 1.7 A. There are two K-turns in the structure of Thermus thermophilus 16S rRNA, and the structures of U4 snRNA and L30e mRNA fragments form K-turns. The structure has a kink in the phosphodiester backbone that causes a sharp turn in the RNA helix. Its asymmetric internal loop is flanked by C-G base pairs on one side and sheared G-A base pairs on the other, with an A-minor interaction between these two helical stems. A derived consensus secondary structure for the K-turn includes 10 consensus nucleotides out of 15, and predicts its presence in the 5'-UTR of L10 mRNA, helix 78 in Escherichia coli 23S rRNA and human RNase MRP. Five K-turns in 23S rRNA interact with nine proteins. While the observed K-turns interact with proteins of unrelated structures in different ways, they interact with L7Ae and two homologous proteins in the same way. 相似文献

Elastic properties of ribosomal RNA building blocks: molecular dynamics of the GTPase-associated center rRNA 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Explicit solvent molecular dynamics (MD) was used to describe the intrinsic flexibility of the helix 42–44 portion of the 23S rRNA (abbreviated as Kt-42+rGAC; kink-turn 42 and GTPase-associated center rRNA). The bottom part of this molecule consists of alternating rigid and flexible segments. The first flexible segment (Hinge1) is the highly anharmonic kink of Kt-42. The second one (Hinge2) is localized at the junction between helix 42 and helices 43/44. The rigid segments are the two arms of helix 42 flanking the kink. The whole molecule ends up with compact helices 43/44 (Head) which appear to be modestly compressed towards the subunit in the Haloarcula marismortui X-ray structure. Overall, the helix 42–44rRNA is constructed as a sophisticated intrinsically flexible anisotropic molecular limb. The leading flexibility modes include bending at the hinges and twisting. The Head shows visible internal conformational plasticity, stemming from an intricate set of base pairing patterns including dynamical triads and tetrads. In summary, we demonstrate how rRNA building blocks with contrasting intrinsic flexibilities can form larger architectures with highly specific patterns of preferred low-energy motions and geometries. 相似文献

Three different fragments of Bacillus megaterium ribosomal 5S RNA have been produced by enzymatic cleavage with ribonuclease T1. Fragment A consists of helices II and III, fragment B contains helix IV, and fragment C contains helix I of the universal 5S rRNA secondary structure. All (eight) imino proton resonances in the downfield region (9-15 ppm) of the 500-MHz proton FT NMR spectrum of fragment B have been identified and assigned as G80.C92-G81.C91-G82.C90-A83.++ +U89-C84.G88 and three unpaired U's (U85, U86, and U87) in helix IV by proton homonuclear Overhauser enhancement connectivities. The secondary structure in helix IV of the prokaryotic loop is completely demonstrated spectroscopically for the first time in any native or enzyme-cleaved 5S rRNA. In addition, G21.C58-A20.U59-G19.C60-A18.U61 in helix II, U32.A46-G31.C47-C30.G48-C29.G49 in helix III, and G4.C112-G5.C111-U6.G110 in the terminal stem (helix I) have been assigned by means of NOE experiments on intact 5S rRNA and its fragments A and C. Base pairs in helices I-IV of the universal secondary structure of B. megaterium 5S RNA are described. 相似文献

Functional large ribosomal subunits of Thermus aquaticus can be reconstituted from ribosomal proteins and either natural or in vitro transcribed 23 S and 5 S rRNA. Omission of 5 S rRNA during subunit reconstitution results in dramatic decrease of the peptidyl transferase activity of the assembled subunits. However, the presence of some ribosome-targeted antibiotics of the macrolide, ketolide or streptogramin B groups during 50 S subunit reconstitution can partly restore the activity of ribosomal subunits assembled without 5 S rRNA. Among tested antibiotics, macrolide RU69874 was the most active: activity of the subunits assembled in the absence of 5 S rRNA was increased more than 30-fold if antibiotic was present during reconstitution procedure. Activity of the subunits assembled with 5 S rRNA was also slightly stimulated by RU69874, but to a much lesser extent, approximately 1.5-fold. Activity of the native T. aquaticus 50 S subunits incubated in the reconstitution conditions in the presence of RU69874 was, in contrast, slightly decreased. The presence of antibiotics was essential during the last incubation step of the in vitro assembly, indicating that drugs affect one of the last assembly steps. The 5 S rRNA was previously shown to form contacts with segments of domains II and V of 23 S rRNA. All the antibiotics which can functionally compensate for the lack of 5 S rRNA during subunit reconstitution interact simultaneously with the central loop in domain V (which is known to be a component of peptidyl transferase center) and a loop of the helix 35 in domain II of 23 S rRNA. It is proposed that simultaneous interaction of 5 S rRNA or of antibiotics with the two domains of 23 S rRNA is essential for the successful assembly of ribosomal peptidyl transferase center. Consequently, one of the functions of 5 S rRNA in the ribosome can be that of assisting the assembly of ribosomal peptidyl transferase by correctly positioning functionally important segments of domains II and V of 23 S rRNA. 相似文献

The Tetrahymena 5.8S rRNA is 154 nucleotides long, the shortest so far reported except for the split 5.8S rRNAs of Diptera (m5.8S plus 2S rRNA). In this molecule several nucleotides are deleted in the helix e (GC-rich stem) region. Upon constructing the secondary structure in accordance with "burp-gun" model, the Tetrahymena 5.8S rRNA forms a wide-open "muzzle" of the terminal regions due to both extra nucleotides and several unpaired bases. The aphid 5.8S rRNA consists of 161 nucleotides and can form stable helices in both terminal and helix e regions. As a whole, the secondary structure of Tetrahymena 5.8S rRNA resembles that of Bombyx 5.8S molecule while the aphid 5.8S rRNA shares several structural features with the HeLa 5.8S molecule. Likely, the 5.8S rRNA attached to the 28S rRNA with the hidden break differs in structure from those interacting with the 28S partners without the break. Nucleotide sequences of 5.8S rRNA in insects as well as in protozoans are not so conservative evolutionarily as in vertebrates. 相似文献

We present a de novo re-determination of the secondary (2°) structure and domain architecture of the 23S and 5S rRNAs, using 3D structures, determined by X-ray diffraction, as input. In the traditional 2° structure, the center of the 23S rRNA is an extended single strand, which in 3D is seen to be compact and double helical. Accurately assigning nucleotides to helices compels a revision of the 23S rRNA 2° structure. Unlike the traditional 2° structure, the revised 2° structure of the 23S rRNA shows architectural similarity with the 16S rRNA. The revised 2° structure also reveals a clear relationship with the 3D structure and is generalizable to rRNAs of other species from all three domains of life. The 2° structure revision required us to reconsider the domain architecture. We partitioned the 23S rRNA into domains through analysis of molecular interactions, calculations of 2D folding propensities and compactness. The best domain model for the 23S rRNA contains seven domains, not six as previously ascribed. Domain 0 forms the core of the 23S rRNA, to which the other six domains are rooted. Editable 2° structures mapped with various data are provided (http://apollo.chemistry.gatech.edu/RibosomeGallery). 相似文献
