Selection of tRNA by the ribosome requires a transition from an open to a closed form.

J.M.Ogle, F.V.Murphy, M.J.Tarry, V.Ramakrishnan.

ABSTRACT

A structural and mechanistic explanation for the selection of tRNAs by the ribosome has been elusive. Here, we report crystal structures of the 30S ribosomal subunit with codon and near-cognate tRNA anticodon stem loops bound at the decoding center and compare affinities of equivalent complexes in solution. In ribosomal interactions with near-cognate tRNA, deviation from Watson-Crick geometry results in uncompensated desolvation of hydrogen-bonding partners at the codon-anticodon minor groove. As a result, the transition to a closed form of the 30S induced by cognate tRNA is unfavorable for near-cognate tRNA unless paromomycin induces part of the rearrangement. We conclude that stabilization of a closed 30S conformation is required for tRNA selection, and thereby structurally rationalize much previous data on translational fidelity.

Figure 3.
Figure 3. Discrimination at the First Two Codon Positions(A) Refined 2mF[o]-DF[c] electron density (contoured at 1.2 σ) from the ASL^Leu2/paromomycin structure for the anticodon-codon G:U mismatch at the first position and A1493.(B) Superposition of the ASL^Leu2/paromomycin structure (dark red), on the corresponding cognate interaction (gray, A:U anticodon-codon base pair; Ogle et al., 2001), in which dashed lines connect hydrogen bond donors and acceptors and the line of larger, transparent red spheres highlights the uncompensated loss of a hydrogen bond caused by separation of A1493 and the codon. The last two images show van der Waals surfaces for the near-cognate and cognate structures, respectively.(C) Electron density from the ASL^Ser/paromomycin structure around the second codon position, showing A1492 and G530. The appropriate position of a guanine base to pair with the refined position of the codon U is shown in light gray; the expected position of a uridine base forming a typical base pair with the refined position of anticodon G is shown in dark gray.(D) G530 at the second codon position, showing mF[o]-DF[c] difference electron density (contoured at 3 σ) obtained when the base is omitted from refinement. Superpositions are based upon the 5′-domain of the 16S RNA. In the native structure, the density clearly represents the syn conformation (cyan, Wimberly et al., 2000, G530 in the anti conformation from the ASL^Ser/paromomycin structure is superimposed, blue). In the ASL^Ser/paromomycin structure (blue), density is weaker, arising from partial disorder due to the G:U mismatch at the second codon position (the native syn structure is superimposed, in cyan). In the ASL^Leu2/paromomycin structure (red), the density unambiguously represents the anti conformation.

Figure 5. Details of Movements at the S4-S5 Interface and the Region around S12E. coli numbering is used for RNA residues and in parentheses for protein residues.(A) Proteins S4 and S5, on the back of the subunit body/shoulder region, move apart due to 30S closure. Based on rigid phosphorus atoms in the 16S RNA identified using ESCET, the ASL^Leu2/paromomycin structure (red) is superimposed on the native structure (gray), in which known mutations causing the error-prone ram phenotype are marked green.(B) The same structure comparison as in (A), showing the formation of contacts between protein S12, and helices 44 and 27 of 16S RNA due the closing rearrangement in the body. Mutations that cause hyperaccurate translation or modulate streptomycin sensitivity are marked green. Streptomycin (from the superimposed 30S complex, pdb-code 1FJG, Carter et al., 2000) is shown for reference.Please see Supplemental Data for animation of these changes (available at http://www.cell.com/cgi/content/full/111/5/721/DC1).
