Docking of the modified RF3 X-ray structure into cryo-EM map of E.coli 70S ribosome bound with RF3
|
OverviewOverview
During translation termination, class II release factor RF3 binds to the, ribosome to promote rapid dissociation of a class I release factor (RF) in, a GTP-dependent manner. We present the crystal structure of E. coli, RF3*GDP, which has a three-domain architecture strikingly similar to the, structure of EF-Tu*GTP. Biochemical data on RF3 mutants show that a, surface region involving domains II and III is important for distinct, steps in the action cycle of RF3. Furthermore, we present a cryo-electron, microscopy (cryo-EM) structure of the posttermination ribosome bound with, RF3 in the GTP form. Our data show that RF3*GTP binding induces large, conformational changes in the ribosome, which break the interactions of, the class I RF with both the decoding center and the GTPase-associated, center of the ribosome, apparently leading to the release of the class I, RF.
