Conserved but nonessential interaction of SRP RNA with translation factor EF-G.
4.5S RNA is essential for viability of Escherichia coli, and forms a key component of the signal recognition particle (SRP), a ubiquitous ribonucleoprotein complex responsible for cotranslational targeting of secretory proteins. 4.5S RNA also binds independently to elongation factor G (EF-G), a five-domain GTPase that catalyzes the translocation step during protein biosynthesis on the ribosome....
متن کاملStructure of the phylogenetically most conserved domain of SRP RNA.
The signal recognition particle (SRP) is a phylogenetically conserved ribonucleoprotein required for cotranslational targeting of proteins to the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum of the bacterial plasma membrane. Domain IV of SRP RNA consists of a short stem-loop structure with two internal loops that contain the most conserved nucleotides of the molecule. All known essential interactions ...
متن کاملCrystal structure of the ffh and EF-G binding sites in the conserved domain IV of Escherichia coli 4.5S RNA.
BACKGROUND Bacterial signal recognition particle (SRP), consisting of 4.5S RNA and Ffh protein, plays an essential role in targeting signal-peptide-containing proteins to the secretory apparatus in the cell membrane. The 4.5S RNA increases the affinity of Ffh for signal peptides and is essential for the interaction between SRP and its receptor, protein FtsY. The 4.5S RNA also interacts with elo...
متن کاملStudies on the functional interaction of translation initiation factor IF1 with ribosomal RNA
Translation initiation factor IF1 is a small, essential and ubiquitous protein factor encoded by a single infA gene in bacteria. Although several important functions have been attributed to IF1, the precise reason for its indispensability is yet to be defined. It is known that IF1 binds to the ribosomal A-site during initiation, where it primarily contacts ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and induces large...
متن کاملA conserved histidine in switch-II of EF-G moderates release of inorganic phosphate
Elongation factor G (EF-G), a translational GTPase responsible for tRNA-mRNA translocation possesses a conserved histidine (H91 in Escherichia coli) at the apex of switch-II, which has been implicated in GTPase activation and GTP hydrolysis. While H91A, H91R and H91E mutants showed different degrees of defect in ribosome associated GTP hydrolysis, H91Q behaved like the WT. However, all these mu...
