Structure determination by MAD: E.coli Trigger Factor binding at the ribosomal exit tunnel.
Overview
The exit tunnel region of the ribosome is well established as a focal, point for interaction between the components that guide the fate of, nascent polypeptides. One of these, the chaperone trigger factor (TF), associates with the 50S ribosomal subunit through its N-terminal domain., Targeting of TF to ribosomes is crucial to achieve its remarkable, efficiency in protein folding. A similar tight coupling to translation is, found in signal recognition particle (SRP)-dependent protein, translocation. Here, we report crystal structures of the E. coli TF, ribosome binding domain. TF is structurally related to the Hsp33 chaperone, but has a prominent ribosome anchor located as a tip of the molecule. This, tip includes the previously established unique TF signature motif., Comparison reveals that this feature is not found in SRP structures. We, identify a conserved helical kink as a hallmark of the TF structure that, is most likely critical to ensure ribosome association.
