  ABSTRACT  
 
During the elongation cycle of protein biosynthesis, the specific amino acid coded for by the mRNA is delivered by a complex that is comprised of the cognate aminoacyl-tRNA, elongation factor Tu and GTP. As this ternary complex binds to the ribosome, the anticodon end of the tRNA reaches the decoding center in the 30S subunit. Here we present the cryo- electron microscopy (EM) study of an Escherichia coli 70S ribosome-bound ternary complex stalled with an antibiotic, kirromycin. In the cryo-EM map the anticodon arm of the tRNA presents a new conformation that appears to facilitate the initial codon-anticodon interaction. Furthermore, the elbow region of the tRNA is seen to contact the GTPase-associated center on the 50S subunit of the ribosome, suggesting an active role of the tRNA in the transmission of the signal prompting the GTP hydrolysis upon codon recognition.

Figure 4.
Figure 4 Interaction of EF-Tu and aa-tRNA with the ribosome. (A and B) Ribbons representation of the docked EF-Tu and aa-tRNA within the ternary complex. (C and D) Focus on the interaction between the -sarcin−ricin loop (SRL) and the effector loop within domain I of EF-Tu (cyan). In (C) the coordinates of the whole ternary complex from T.aquaticus with a GTP analog (Nissen et al., 1995) were used for the fitting, while in (D) the crystal structure of EF-Tu from E.coli bound to GDP (Song et al., 1999) was used. Orientation of the ribosomes for (A) and (B) are shown as thumbnails on the left. Labeling is the same as in Figure 5.

The most recent references are shown first. Citation data come partly from CiteXplore and partly from an automated harvesting procedure. Note that this is likely to be only a partial list as not all journals are covered by either method. However, we are continually building up the citation data so more and more references will be included with time. Where a reference describes a PDB structure, the PDB codes are shown on the right.
