  ABSTRACT  
 
The large ribosomal subunit catalyzes peptide bond formation and will do so by using small aminoacyl- and peptidyl-RNA fragments of tRNA. We have refined at 3-A resolution the structures of both A and P site substrate and product analogues, as well as an intermediate analogue, bound to the Haloarcula marismortui 50S ribosomal subunit. A P site substrate, CCA-Phe-caproic acid-biotin, binds equally to both sites, but in the presence of sparsomycin binds only to the P site. The CCA portions of these analogues are bound identically by either the A or P loop of the 23S rRNA. Combining the separate P and A site substrate complexes into one model reveals interactions that may occur when both are present simultaneously. The alpha-NH(2) group of an aminoacylated fragment in the A site forms one hydrogen bond with the N3 of A2486 (2451) and may form a second hydrogen bond either with the 2' OH of the A-76 ribose in the P site or with the 2' OH of A2486 (2451). These interactions position the alpha amino group adjacent to the carbonyl carbon of esterified P site substrate in an orientation suitable for a nucleophilic attack.

Figure 1.
Fig. 1. Chemical structures of peptidyl transferase substrate analogues. (A) CCA-pcb is active as a P site substrate and binds to only the P site in the presence of the antibiotic, sparsomycin. (B) An aminoacylated RNA minihelix binds to the A site. (C) CCdA-phosphate-puromycin is an intermediate analogue containing A and P site-binding components. (D) CC-puromycin-phenylalanine-caproic acid-biotin and deacylated CCA are products of the peptidyl transferase reaction.
Figure 2.
Fig. 2. Experimental electron density maps. (A) An F[o] F[o] electron density map (blue net) contoured at 4.0 shows density corresponding to CCA-pcb (green) in the P site and sparsomycin (yellow). Additional density corresponds to altered conformations of nucleotides such as A2637 (orange). (B) F[o] F[o] electron density map of CCA-pcb shows that in the absence of sparsomycin, the P site substrate is bound equally between the P site (green) and the A site (red).
