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 Maps of mRNAs(A) 7 Å 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
