6 Bacterial 30S subunit The main purpose of the 30S is the decoding of codons and translational fidelity Main features of the crystal structures (Ramakrishnan, Yonath) : RNA is the main structural determinant; 2D domains are independently folded; Contains binding sites for r-proteins and antibiotics; Long double helix of rrna protein free found at the interface between subunits, contains the decoding site; Codon-anticodon recognition is RNA mediated; Define mrna path at the base of head; Mouvements between domains, esp head and body; 6

8 Crystal Structure of the 30 S Ribosomal Subunit from Thermus thermophilus: Structure of the Proteins and their Interactions with 16 S RNA Ditlev E. Brodersen, William M. Clemons Jr, Andrew P. Carter Brian T. Wimberly and V. Ramakrishnan In addition to globular domains, many of the proteins have long, extended regions, either in the termini or in internal loops, which make extensive contact to the RNA. Many ribosomal proteins share similar α+β sandwich folds, but with variable topology and ways of interactions with the RNA. Ribosomal assembly : (1) the primary binders are globular proteins that bind at RNA multihelix junctions; (2)proteins with long extensions assemble later. 8

(B) Close-up showing how IF1 and S12 together can distort helix 44. The backbone moves so much that the noncanonical base pair between A1413 and G1487 is broken. (C) The same region in the absence of IF1, showing a more regular helix and the intact base pair between A1413 and G1487. (D) Surface of the 30S subunit with IF1 bound, showing regions that are protected by association with the 50S subunit in red (see text). Helix 44 and the 530 loop are also shown. Published by AAAS A.
