Transfer-messenger RNA unfolds as it transits the ribosome.
In bacteria, translation of mRNAs lacking stop codons produces truncated polypeptides and traps ribosomes in unproductive complexes. Potentially harmful truncated proteins are tagged with short peptides encoded by the mRNA-like domain of tmRNA and targeted for digestion by housekeeping proteases. We show that altered Escherichia coli transfer-messenger RNAs (tmRNAs) produce in vivo fusion prote...
متن کاملThe Path of Messenger RNA through the Ribosome
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), c...
متن کاملRibosome-bound messenger RNA in T4-infected bacteria.
The olassieal experiments of Hall, Nygaard & Green (1964) established the following facts concerning messenger RNA synthesis in Escherichia wli B infected with bacteriophage T2: most of the RNA species present early in the latent period (before phage DNA synthesis begins) are still present after the DNA synthetic rate is maximal (late period); radioactive precursors administered to infected cel...
متن کاملRibosome reinitiation can explain length-dependent translation of messenger RNA
Models of mRNA translation usually presume that transcripts are linear; upon reaching the end of a transcript each terminating ribosome returns to the cytoplasmic pool before initiating anew on a different transcript. A consequence of linear models is that faster translation of a given mRNA is unlikely to generate more of the encoded protein, particularly at low ribosome availability. Recent ev...
متن کاملCharacterization of ribosome-protected fragments from reovirus messenger RNA.
The 5'-terminal methylated cap (m7G(5')ppp(5')Gm) in reovirus messenger RNA comprises part of the ribosomes binding site, since attachment of 40 S wheat germ ribosomal subunits to reovirus small (s), medium (m), and large (l) RNA classes conferred almost complete protection of the cap against RNase digestion. After joining of the 60 S ribosomal subunits, however, the cap continued to be protect...
