SUBTILISIN MUTANT 8324

Overview

Translational initiation factor 3 (IF3) is an RNA helix destabilizing, protein which interacts with strongly conserved sequences in 16S rRNA, one, at the 3' terminus and one in the central domain. It was therefore of, interest to identify particular residues whose exposure changes upon IF3, binding. Chemical and enzymatic probing of central domain nucleotides of, 16S rRNA in 30S ribosomal subunits was carried out in the presence and, absence of IF3. Bases were probed with dimethyl sulfate (DMS), at A(N-1), C(N-3), and G(N-7), and with, N-cyclohexyl-N'-[2-(N-methyl-4-morpholinio)ethyl] carbodiimide, p-toluenesulfonate (CMCT), at G(N-1) and U(N-3). RNase T1 and nuclease S1, were used to probe unpaired nucleotides, and RNase V1 was used to monitor, base-paired or stacked nucleotides. 30S ... [(full description)]
