REVIEW Structural aspects of translation termination on the ribosome ANDREI A. KOROSTELEV1 RNA Therapeutics Institute and Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Pharmacology, University of Massachusetts Medical School, Worcester, Massachusetts 01605, USA ABSTRACT Translation of genetic information encoded in messenger RNAs into polypeptide sequences is carried out by ribosomes in all organisms. When a full protein is synthesized, a stop codon positioned in the ribosomal A site signals termination of translation and protein release. Translation termination depends on class I release factors. Recently, atomic-resolution crystal structures were determined for bacterial 70S ribosome termination complexes bound with release factors RF1 or RF2. -

This involves final 18S rRNA processing and release of residual biogenesis factors, including the protein kinase RIOK1. To identify novel proteins promoting the final maturation of human 40S subunits, we characterized pre-ribosomal subunits trapped on RIOK1 by mass spectrometry, and identified the deubiquitinase USP16 among the captured factors.

Ribosomal Initiation Complex-Driven Changes in the Stability and Dynamics of Initiation Factor 2 Regulate the Fidelity of Translation Initiation
Article Ribosomal Initiation Complex-Driven Changes in the Stability and Dynamics of Initiation Factor 2 Regulate the Fidelity of Translation Initiation Jiangning Wang, Kelvin Caban and Ruben L. Gonzalez Jr. Department of Chemistry, Columbia University, 3000 Broadway, MC3126, New York, NY 10027, USA Correspondence to Ruben L. Gonzalez: [email protected] http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jmb.2014.12.025 Edited by S. A. Woodson Abstract Joining of the large, 50S, ribosomal subunit to the small, 30S, ribosomal subunit initiation complex (IC) during bacterial translation initiation is catalyzed by the initiation factor (IF) IF2. Because the rate of subunit joining is coupled to the IF, transfer RNA (tRNA), and mRNA codon compositions of the 30S IC, the subunit joining reaction functions as a kinetic checkpoint that regulates the fidelity of translation initiation. Recent structural studies suggest that the conformational dynamics of the IF2·tRNA sub-complex forming on the intersubunit surface of the 30S IC may play a significant role in the mechanisms that couple the rate of subunit joining to the IF, tRNA, and codon compositions of the 30S IC. To test this hypothesis, we have developed a single-molecule fluorescence resonance energy transfer signal between IF2 and tRNA that has enabled us to monitor the conformational dynamics of the IF2·tRNA sub-complex across a series of 30S ICs. Our results demonstrate that 30S ICs undergoing rapid subunit joining display a high affinity for IF2 and an IF2·tRNA sub-complex that primarily samples a single conformation. In contrast, 30S ICs that undergo slower subunit joining exhibit a decreased affinity for IF2 and/or a change in the conformational dynamics of the IF2·tRNA sub-complex. -

Ef-G:trna Dynamics During the Elongation Cycle of Protein Synthesis Abstract During polypeptide elongation cycle, prokaryotic elongation factor G (EF-G) catalyzes the coupled translocations on the ribosome of mRNA and A- and P-site bound tRNAs. Continued progress has been achieved in understanding this key process, including results of structural, ensemble kinetic and single- molecule studies. However, most of work has been focused on the pre-equilibrium states of this fast process, leaving the real time dynamics, especially how EF-G interacts with the A-site tRNA in the pretranslocation complex, not fully elucidated. In this thesis, the kinetics of EF-G catalyzed translocation is investigated by both ensemble and single molecule fluorescence resonance energy transfer studies to further explore the underlying mechanism. In the ensemble work, EF-G mutants were designed and expressed successfully. The labeled EF-G mutants show good translocation activity in two different assays. In the smFRET work, by attachment of a fluorescent probe at position 693 on EF-G permits monitoring of FRET efficiencies to sites in both ribosomal protein L11 and A-site tRNA. -
