Title Elongation arrest by secm via a cascade of ribosomal RNA rearrangements.

Abstract
In E. coli, the SecM nascent polypeptide causes elongation arrest, while interacting with 23S RNA bases A2058 and A749-753 in the exit tunnel of the large ribosomal subunit. We compared atomic models fitted by real-space refinement into cryo-electron microscopy reconstructions of a pretranslocational and SecM-stalled E. coli ribosome complex. A cascade of RNA rearrangements propagates from the exit tunnel throughout the large subunit, affecting intersubunit bridges and tRNA positions, which in turn reorient small subunit RNA elements. Elongation arrest could result from the inhibition of mRNA.(tRNAs) translocation, E site tRNA egress, and perhaps translation factor activation at the GTPase-associated center. Our study suggests that the specific secondary and tertiary arrangement of ribosomal RNA provides the basis for internal signal transduction within the ribosome. Thus, the ribosome may itself have the ability to regulate its progression through translation by modulating its structure and consequently its receptivity to activation by cofactors.

Figure 3: Stereo views of RNA and protein elements in the ribosome-PCC junction. Real-space refined models showing E. coli ribosomal proteins rendered as ribbons, and rRNA regions interacting with the PCC as thick, light-grey backbone snake-like structures (rattlers). The PCC is coloured and rendered as in Fig. 2d with the cryo-EM density in cyan mesh. a-c, The ribosome-PCC junction at the polypeptide exit site (nascent chain density semi-transparent yellow surface) is shown in the front (a) and back (b) views. Ribosomal elements near the polypeptide exit site and parts of the PCC in the three connection regions are also illustrated (c), with the line of view perpendicular to the membrane plane. Connection regions between ribosome and PCC are circled in orange and labelled. d, The non-translocating PCC uses its CFADs to interact with hairpins in the mRNA (mRNA shown as semi-transparent purple surface with non-interacting mRNA rattler regions in yellow). h, helix.

The PCC is viewed within the plane of the membrane, with the ribosome behind the plane, and coloured and rendered as before with the TMHs numbered. b, Stereo view of the nascent chain (yellow rattler) fitted into the isolated polypeptide density inside the ribosome. The front view is shown. Schematic versions of the PCC at the polypeptide exit site of the ribosome in views corresponding to a (in panel c) and b (in panel d). The PCC and ribosomal elements are coloured as before, with the nascent chain (TMH signal anchor) in green and yellow. See text for discussion.

Figure 3.
Fig. 3. Segregated surface characteristics of the polypeptide exit site and alignment with segregated PCC pores. (A) In D. radiodurans [28] and T. thermophilus [27] (inset, rRNA in ribbon) surface characteristics of ribosomal proteins L24 are different from those of L23/L29, as indicated by the distribution of hydrophobic (white), hydrophilic (green), positively (blue) and negatively (red) charged residues. The polypeptide tunnel exit is indicated by a yellow circle. (B) Hydrophobic L23/L29 surfaces align with Sec[1]YEG on the left, and the hydrophilic L24 surface and rRNA h24 align with Sec[2]YEG on the right of the exit site. View is from the frontal opening of the ribosome–PCC.

Fig. 4. Model of polypeptide translocation through the ribosome–PCC complex. The hydrophobic NPS/TMH is shown as a green cylinder with the hydrophilic portion shown as a yellow line/open circle. Grey arrows indicate inter-CFAD distance. The view in the upper panel is as in Fig. 3B, and in the lower panel as in Fig. 1B. See text for discussion.
