== Function ==
[[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/RL13_THET8 RL13_THET8]] This protein is one of the early assembly proteins of the 50S ribosomal subunit, although it is not seen to bind rRNA by itself. It is important during the early stages of 50S assembly (By similarity).[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01366] [[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/RL9_THET8 RL9_THET8]] Binds to the 23S rRNA. Extends more that 50 Angstroms beyond the surface of the 70S ribosome.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00503] [[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/RSHX_THET8 RSHX_THET8]] Binds at the top of the head of the 30S subunit. It stabilizes a number of different RNA elements and thus is important for subunit structure. [[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/RS7_THET8 RS7_THET8]] One of the primary rRNA binding proteins, it binds directly to 3'-end of the 16S rRNA where it nucleates assembly of the head domain of the 30S subunit. Is located at the subunit interface close to the decoding center. Binds mRNA and the E site tRNA blocking its exit path in the ribosome. This blockage implies that this section of the ribosome must be able to move to release the deacetylated tRNA.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00480_B] [[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/RS17_THET8 RS17_THET8]] One of the primary rRNA binding proteins, it binds directly to 16S rRNA where it helps nucleate assembly of the platform and body of the 30S subunit by bringing together and stabilizing interactions between several different RNA helices. The combined cluster of proteins S8, S12 and S17 appears to hold together the shoulder and platform of the 30S subunit.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01345]  Deletion of the protein leads to an increased generation time and a temperature-sensitive phenotype.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01345] [[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/RS2_THET8 RS2_THET8]] Spans the head-body hinge region of the 30S subunit. Is loosely associated with the 30S subunit.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00291_B] [[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/RS18_THET8 RS18_THET8]] Located on the back of the platform of the 30S subunit where it stabilizes the close packing of several RNA helices of the 16S rRNA.

In the 70S ribosome it contacts protein S13 of the 30S subunit (forming bridge B1b) connecting the head of the 30S subunit to the top of the 50S subunit. The bridge itself contacts the P site tRNA and is implicated in movement during ribosome translocation. Also contacts the P site tRNA independently of the intersubunit bridge; the 5S rRNA and some of its associated proteins might help stabilize positioning of ribosome-bound tRNAs.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01333_B] [[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/RS16_THET8 RS16_THET8]] Binds to the lower part of the body of the 30S subunit, where it stabilizes two of its domains.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00385] [[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/RL24_THET8 RL24_THET8]] One of two assembly initiator proteins, it binds directly to the 5'-end of the 23S rRNA, where it nucleates assembly of the 50S subunit (By similarity).[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01326_B]  One of the proteins that surrounds the polypeptide exit tunnel on the outside of the subunit.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01326_B] [[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/RL2_THET8 RL2_THET8]] One of the primary rRNA binding proteins. Required for association of the 30S and 50S subunits to form the 70S ribosome, for tRNA binding and peptide bond formation. It has been suggested to have peptidyltransferase activity; this is somewhat controversial (By similarity). Makes several contacts with the 16S rRNA (forming bridge B7b) in the 70S ribosome.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01320_B] [[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/RL3_THET8 RL3_THET8]] One of the primary rRNA binding proteins, it binds directly near the 3'-end of the 23S rRNA, where it nucleates assembly of the 50S subunit (By similarity).[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01325_B] [[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/RL20_THET8 RL20_THET8]] Binds directly to 23S ribosomal RNA and is necessary for the in vitro assembly process of the 50S ribosomal subunit. It is not involved in the protein synthesizing functions of that subunit (By similarity).[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00382] [[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/RS20_THET8 RS20_THET8]] One of the primary rRNA binding proteins, it binds directly to 16S rRNA where it nucleates assembly of the bottom of the body of the 30S subunit, by binding to several RNA helices of the 16S rRNA.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00500] [[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/RS14Z_THET8 RS14Z_THET8]] Required for the assembly of 30S particles and may also be responsible for determining the conformation of the 16S rRNA at the A site (By similarity). Binds 16S rRNA in center of the 30S subunit head.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01364_B] [[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/RS10_THET8 RS10_THET8]] Part of the top of the 30S subunit head.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00508] [[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/RL6_THET8 RL6_THET8]] This protein binds to the 23S rRNA, and is important in its secondary structure. It is located near the subunit interface in the base of the L7/L12 stalk, and near the tRNA binding site of the peptidyltransferase center.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01365] [[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/RL15_THET8 RL15_THET8]] Binds to the 23S rRNA (By similarity).[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01341_B] [[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/RS11_THET8 RS11_THET8]] Located on the upper part of the platform of the 30S subunit, where it bridges several disparate RNA helices of the 16S rRNA. Forms part of the Shine-Dalgarno cleft in the 70S ribosome, where it interacts both with the Shine-Dalgarno helix and mRNA.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01310] [[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/RL34_THET8 RL34_THET8]] Found on the solvent side of the large subunit.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00391] [[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/RL29_THET8 RL29_THET8]] One of the proteins that surrounds the polypeptide exit tunnel on the outside of the subunit.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00374] [[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/RL22_THET8 RL22_THET8]] This protein binds specifically to 23S rRNA; its binding is stimulated by other ribosomal proteins, e.g. L4, L17, and L20. It is important during the early stages of 50S assembly. It makes multiple contacts with different domains of the 23S rRNA in the assembled 50S subunit and ribosome (By similarity).[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01331_B]  The globular domain of the protein is one of the proteins that surrounds the polypeptide exit tunnel on the outside of the subunit, while an extended beta-hairpin is found that penetrates into the center of the 70S ribosome. This extension seems to form part of the wall of the exit tunnel.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01331_B] [[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/RL27_THET8 RL27_THET8]] Found on the solvent side of the large subunit.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00539] [[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/RS13_THET8 RS13_THET8]] Located at the top of the head of the 30S subunit, it contacts several helices of the 16S rRNA. In the 70S ribosome structure it contacts the 23S rRNA (bridge B1a) and protein L5 of the 50S subunit (bridge B1b), connecting the top of the two subunits; these bridges are in contact with the A site and P site tRNAs respectively and are implicated in movement during ribosome translocation. Separately contacts the tRNAs in the A and P sites.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01315] [[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/RL4_THET8 RL4_THET8]] One of the primary rRNA binding proteins, this protein initially binds near the 5'-end of the 23S rRNA. It is important during the early stages of 50S assembly. It makes multiple contacts with different domains of the 23S rRNA in the assembled 50S subunit and ribosome (By similarity).[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01328_B]  Forms part of the polypeptide exit tunnel (By similarity).[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01328_B]  This protein can be incorporated into E.coli ribosomes in vivo, which resulted in decreased peptidyltransferase (Ptase) activity of the hybrid ribosomes.

Located at the interface of the 30S and 50S subunits, it traverses the body of the 30S subunit contacting proteins on the other side and probably holding the rRNA structure together. The combined cluster of proteins S8, S12 and S17 appears to hold together the shoulder and platform of the 30S subunit.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00403_B] [[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/RS15_THET8 RS15_THET8]] One of the primary rRNA binding proteins, it binds directly to 16S rRNA where it helps nucleate assembly of the platform of the 30S subunit by binding and bridging several RNA helices of the 16S rRNA (By similarity).[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01343]  Forms an intersubunit bridge (bridge B4) with the 23S rRNA of the 50S subunit in the ribosome.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01343] [[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/RL33_THET8 RL33_THET8]] Found on the solvent side of the large subunit.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00294]  Contacts the E site tRNA.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00294] [[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/RL18_THET8 RL18_THET8]] This is one of the proteins that binds and mediates the attachment of the 5S RNA into the large ribosomal subunit, where it forms part of the central protuberance.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01337_B] [[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/RS8_THET8 RS8_THET8]] One of the primary rRNA binding proteins, it binds directly to 16S rRNA where it helps nucleate assembly of the platform of the 30S subunit central domain.

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
The three-nucleotide mRNA reading frame is tightly regulated during translation to ensure accurate protein expression. Translation errors that lead to aberrant protein production can result from the uncoupled movement of the tRNA in either the 5' or 3' direction on mRNA. Here, we report the biochemical and structural characterization of +1 frameshift suppressor tRNA(SufJ), a tRNA known to decode four, instead of three, nucleotides. Frameshift suppressor tRNA(SufJ) contains an insertion 5' to its anticodon, expanding the anticodon loop from seven to eight nucleotides. Our results indicate that the expansion of the anticodon loop of either ASL(SufJ) or tRNA(SufJ) does not affect its affinity for the A site of the ribosome. Structural analyses of both ASL(SufJ) and ASL(Thr) bound to the Thermus thermophilus 70S ribosome demonstrate both ASLs decode in the zero frame. Although the anticodon loop residues 34-37 are superimposable with canonical seven-nucleotide ASLs, the single C31.5 insertion between nucleotides 31 and 32 in ASL(SufJ) imposes a conformational change of the anticodon stem, that repositions and tilts the ASL toward the back of the A site. Further modeling analyses reveal that this tilting would cause a distortion in full-length A-site tRNA(SufJ) during tRNA selection and possibly impede gripping of the anticodon stem by 16S rRNA nucleotides in the P site. Together, these data implicate tRNA distortion as a major driver of noncanonical translation events such as frameshifting.
