STRUCTURE OF THE THERMUS THERMOPHILUS 30S RIBOSOMAL SUBUNIT IN COMPLEX WITH THE ANTIBIOTIC PAROMOMYCIN
OverviewOverview
Crystal structures of the 30S ribosomal subunit in complex with messenger, RNA and cognate transfer RNA in the A site, both in the presence and, absence of the antibiotic paromomycin, have been solved at between 3.1 and, 3.3 angstroms resolution. Cognate transfer RNA (tRNA) binding induces, global domain movements of the 30S subunit and changes in the conformation, of the universally conserved and essential bases A1492, A1493, and G530 of, 16S RNA. These bases interact intimately with the minor groove of the, first two base pairs between the codon and anticodon, thus sensing, Watson-Crick base-pairing geometry and discriminating against near-cognate, tRNA. The third, or "wobble," position of the codon is free to accommodate, certain noncanonical base pairs. By partially inducing these structural, changes, paromomycin facilitates binding of near-cognate tRNAs.
