Structural highlights
Function[IF1A_PYRAB] Seems to be required for maximal rate of protein biosynthesis. Enhances ribosome dissociation into subunits and stabilizes the binding of the initiator Met-tRNA(I) to 40 S ribosomal subunits (By similarity). [RS14Z_PYRAB] Binds 16S rRNA, required for the assembly of 30S particles. [RS11_PYRAB] Located on the platform of the 30S subunit (By similarity). [RL7A_PYRAB] Multifunctional RNA-binding protein that recognizes the K-turn motif in ribosomal RNA, the RNA component of RNase P, box H/ACA, box C/D and box C'/D' sRNAs. [RS7_PYRAB] 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. Is located at the subunit interface close to the decoding center. [RS13_PYRAB] Located at the top of the head of the 30S subunit, it contacts several helices of the 16S rRNA. In the 70S ribosome it contacts the 23S rRNA (bridge B1a) and protein L5 of the 50S subunit (bridge B1b), connecting the 2 subunits; these bridges are implicated in subunit movement. [RS19E_PYRAB] May be involved in maturation of the 30S ribosomal subunit. [RS3_PYRAB] Binds the lower part of the 30S subunit head. [RS4_PYRAB] One of the primary rRNA binding proteins, it binds directly to 16S rRNA where it nucleates assembly of the body of the 30S subunit. With S5 and S12 plays an important role in translational accuracy. [RS5_PYRAB] With S4 and S12 plays an important role in translational accuracy. [RS19_PYRAB] Protein S19 forms a complex with S13 that binds strongly to the 16S ribosomal RNA. [RS12_PYRAB] With S4 and S5 plays an important role in translational accuracy. Located at the interface of the 30S and 50S subunits. [RS8_PYRAB] 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. [RS10_PYRAB] Involved in the binding of tRNA to the ribosomes. [RS17_PYRAB] One of the primary rRNA binding proteins, it binds specifically to the 5'-end of 16S ribosomal RNA.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01345] Publication Abstract from PubMedEukaryotic and archaeal translation initiation complexes have a common structural core comprising e/aIF1, e/aIF1A, the ternary complex (TC, e/aIF2-GTP-Met-tRNAiMet) and mRNA bound to the small ribosomal subunit. e/aIF2 plays a crucial role in this process but how this factor controls start codon selection remains unclear. Here, we present cryo-EM structures of the full archaeal 30S initiation complex showing two conformational states of the TC. In the first state, the TC is bound to the ribosome in a relaxed conformation with the tRNA oriented out of the P site. In the second state, the tRNA is accommodated within the peptidyl (P) site and the TC becomes constrained. This constraint is compensated by codon/anticodon base pairing, whereas in the absence of a start codon, aIF2 contributes to swing out the tRNA. This spring force concept highlights a mechanism of codon/anticodon probing by the initiator tRNA directly assisted by aIF2.
