Coordinates of the N-terminal domain of ribosomal protein L11,C-terminal domain of ribosomal protein L7/L12 and a portion of the G' domain of elongation factor G, as fitted into cryo-em map of an Escherichia coli 70S*EF-G*GDP*fusidic acid complex

Overview

During tRNA translocation on the ribosome, an arc-like connection (ALC) is, formed between the G' domain of elongation factor G (EF-G) and the, L7/L12-stalk base of the large ribosomal subunit in the GDP state. To, delineate the boundary of EF-G within the ALC, we tagged an amino acid, residue near the tip of the G' domain of EF-G with undecagold, which was, then visualized with three-dimensional cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM)., Two distinct positions for the undecagold, observed in the GTP-state and, GDP-state cryo-EM maps of the ribosome bound EF-G, allowed us to determine, the movement of the labeled amino acid. Molecular analyses of the cryo-EM, maps show: (1) that three structural components, the N-terminal domain of, ribosomal protein L11, the C-terminal domain of ribosomal protein L7/L12, and the G' domain of EF-G, participate in formation of the ALC; and (2), that both EF-G and the ribosomal protein L7/L12 undergo large, conformational changes to form the ALC.
