Abstract
|
 |
|
Using X-ray crystallography, we have directly observed the path of mRNA in the
70S ribosome in Fourier difference maps at 7 A resolution. About 30 nucleotides
of the mRNA are wrapped in a groove that encircles the neck of the 30S subunit.
The Shine-Dalgarno helix is bound in a large cleft between the head and the back
of the platform. At the interface, only about eight nucleotides (-1 to +7),
centered on the junction between the A and P codons, are exposed, and bond
almost exclusively to 16S rRNA. The mRNA enters the ribosome around position +13
to +15, the location of downstream pseudoknots that stimulate -1 translational
frame shifting.

Fourier difference map of MK27 mRNA with the mRNA model (yellow)
docked, showing the position of the Shine-Dalgarno (S/D) helix
(magenta) and the positions of the A- and P-site codons (orange
and red, respectively), viewed from the top of the 30S
ribosomal subunit.(B) Difference map of the MF36 mRNA, showing a
four-base-pair tetraloop helix (A-site helix) fitted to the
extra density at the A site.(C) Same as for (B), except that the
A-tRNA anticodon stem-loop (green) is shown in the position
observed experimentally in the A-tRNA difference map (Yusupov et
al., 2001), in place of the A-site mRNA helix. The
five-nucleotide (GGAGG/CCUCC) core of the Shine-Dalgarno
interaction is shown in magenta, and the rest of the 16S rRNA
tail in cyan
