Saccharomyces cerevisiae 80S ribosome bound with elongation factor eEF2-GDP-sordarin and Taura Syndrome Virus IRES, Structure V (least rotated 40S subunit)
Structural highlights
FunctionRS19A_YEAST Required for proper maturation of the small (40S) ribosomal subunit. Binds to 40s pre-ribosomal particles, probably required after association of NOC4 but before association of ENP1, TSR1 and RIO2 with 20/21S pre-rRNA.[1] [2] Publication Abstract from PubMedInternal ribosome entry sites (IRESs) mediate cap-independent translation of viral mRNAs. Using electron cryo-microscopy of a single specimen, we present five ribosome structures formed with the Taura syndrome virus IRES and translocase eEF2*GTP bound with sordarin. The structures suggest a trajectory of IRES translocation, required for translation initiation, and provide an unprecedented view of eEF2 dynamics. The IRES rearranges from extended to bent to extended conformations. This inchworm-like movement is coupled with ribosomal inter-subunit rotation and 40S head swivel. eEF2, attached to the 60S subunit, slides along the rotating 40S subunit to enter the A site. Its diphthamide-bearing tip at domain IV separates the tRNA-mRNA-like pseudoknot I (PKI) of the IRES from the decoding center. This unlocks 40S domains, facilitating head swivel and biasing IRES translocation via hitherto-elusive intermediates with PKI captured between the A and P sites. The structures suggest missing links in our understanding of tRNA translocation. Ensemble cryo-EM uncovers inchworm-like translocation of a viral IRES through the ribosome.,Abeyrathne PD, Koh CS, Grant T, Grigorieff N, Korostelev AA Elife. 2016 May 9;5. pii: e14874. doi: 10.7554/eLife.14874.
