Function
[RR19_SPIOL] This protein binds directly to 16S ribosomal RNA.[1] [RR5_SPIOL] Binds directly to 16S ribosomal RNA. Involved in spectinomycin and neamine resistance and streptomycin independence.[:] [RR14_SPIOL] Binds 16S rRNA, required for the assembly of 30S particles (By similarity).[:] [PRSP1_SPIOL] A ribosome-binding factor that may be involved in an unknown stress response. Modeling onto the 70S spinach chloroplast ribosome and its position in the E.coli 70S ribosome suggests it binds in the decoding region of the 30S ribosomal subunit, precluding the binding of tRNA to the ribosome. Its position is incompatible with translation. Upon expression in E.coli binds to 30S and 70S ribosomes, decreases binding of tRNA(fMet). Stabilizes 70S ribosomes against dissociation. May be recycled by the combined action of ribosome-recycling factor (RRF) and EF-G.[2] [RRP3_SPIOL] One of the plastid-specific ribosomal proteins. [RR4_SPIOL] One of the primary rRNA binding proteins, it binds directly to 16S rRNA where it nucleates assembly of the body of the 30S subunit (By similarity).[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01306] With S5 and S12 plays an important role in translational accuracy (By similarity).[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01306] [RR7_SPIOL] One of the primary rRNA binding proteins, it binds directly to 16S rRNA where it nucleates assembly of the head domain of the 30S subunit (By similarity).[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00480] [RR12_SPIOL] With S4 and S5 plays an important role in translational accuracy. Located at the interface of the 30S and 50S subunits (By similarity).[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00403_B] [RRP2_SPIOL] May have a role in the recruitment of stored chloroplast mRNAs for active protein synthesis.[3] [RR8_SPIOL] One of the primary rRNA binding proteins, it binds directly to 16S rRNA central domain where it helps coordinate assembly of the platform of the 30S subunit (By similarity).[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01302]
Publication Abstract from PubMed
Chloroplasts are cellular organelles of plants and algae that are responsible for energy conversion and carbon fixation by the photosynthetic reaction. As a consequence of their endosymbiotic origin, they still contain their own genome and the machinery for protein biosynthesis. Here, we present the atomic structure of the chloroplast 70S ribosome prepared from spinach leaves and resolved by cryo-EM at 3.4 A resolution. The complete structure reveals the features of the 4.5S rRNA, which probably evolved by the fragmentation of the 23S rRNA, and all five plastid-specific ribosomal proteins. These proteins, required for proper assembly and function of the chloroplast translation machinery, bind and stabilize rRNA including regions that only exist in the chloroplast ribosome. Furthermore, the structure reveals plastid-specific extensions of ribosomal proteins that extensively remodel the mRNA entry and exit site on the small subunit as well as the polypeptide tunnel exit and the putative binding site of the signal recognition particle on the large subunit. The translation factor pY, involved in light- and temperature-dependent control of protein synthesis, is bound to the mRNA channel of the small subunit and interacts with 16S rRNA nucleotides at the A-site and P-site, where it protects the decoding centre and inhibits translation by preventing tRNA binding. The small subunit is locked by pY in a non-rotated state, in which the intersubunit bridges to the large subunit are stabilized.
