The role of ribosomal protein S1 in the translation of mRNA containing an extended Shine-Dalgarno sequence was investigated. Using the toeprinting technique, formation of the ternary initiation complex between 30S subunits, both S1-depleted or treated with anti-S1 antibodies, and mini-mRNA containing the 9 nucleotide-long Shine-Dalgarno sequence was studied. It was concluded that the initiation of translation on mRNA with an extended Shine-Dalgarno sequence is S1-independent. It was demonstrated that S1-depleted ribosomes effectively translate the cro-mini-mRNA in a cell-free system. In contrast to cro-mini-mRNA, 30S subunits without protein S1 are inactive in ternary initiation complex formation with, and cell-free translation of, MS2 or fr phage RNAs and RNA protein III of phage fd.
研究了核糖体蛋白S1在含有延长的Shine-Dalgarno序列的mRNA翻译中的作用。使用足迹法,研究了30S亚基(无论是S1缺失的还是用抗S1抗体处理的)与含有9个核苷酸长的Shine-Dalgarno序列的微型mRNA之间三元起始复合物的形成。得出的结论是,具有延长的Shine-Dalgarno序列的mRNA上的翻译起始不依赖于S1。结果表明,缺失S1的核糖体在无细胞系统中能有效地翻译cro-微型mRNA。与cro-微型mRNA不同,没有蛋白S1的30S亚基在与MS2或fr噬菌体RNA以及噬菌体fd的RNA蛋白III形成三元起始复合物和无细胞翻译中是无活性的。
