Intact 50S ribosomal subunits from E.coli were cross-linked with the symmetrical bifunctional reagent bis-(2-chloroethyl)-methylamine. After deproteinization, selected regions of the 23S RNA were excised by treatment with ribonuclease H in the presence of appropriate complementary decadeoxynucleotides, and screened for the presence of intra-RNA cross-links by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Individual isolated cross-linked RNA fragments were analysed by our established procedures. Sixteen intra-RNA cross-links were identified, three of which corresponded to those previously published. The thirteen 'new' cross-links were localized in the 23S RNA at positions 774-78 linked to 792-94, 876-79 linked to 899-900, 979-81 or 983-84 to 2029, 1715 to 1743-46, 1911-21 to 1964, 1933 to 1966, 2032 to 2054-55, 2112 to 2169-71, 2116-17 to 2163-67, 2128-32 to 2156-59, 2392-93 to 2422-23, 2737-38 to 2763-66, and 2791 to 2890. These results are discussed in the context of three-dimensional model-building studies with the 23S RNA, with particular reference to the environment of the 'active centre' of the 50S subunit.
来自大肠杆菌的完整50S核糖体亚基与对称双功能试剂双(2-氯乙基)甲胺发生交联。脱蛋白后,在适当的互补十脱氧核苷酸存在下,用核糖核酸酶H处理,切除23S RNA的选定区域,并通过二维凝胶电泳筛选RNA内交联的存在。通过我们既定的程序分析各个分离的交联RNA片段。鉴定出16个RNA内交联,其中3个与先前发表的交联相对应。这13个“新”交联位于23S RNA的774 - 78位与792 - 94位相连、876 - 79位与899 - 900位相连、979 - 81或983 - 84位与2029位相连、1715位与1743 - 46位相连、1911 - 21位与1964位相连、1933位与1966位相连、2032位与2054 - 55位相连、2112位与2169 - 71位相连、2116 - 17位与2163 - 67位相连、2128 - 32位与2156 - 59位相连、2392 - 93位与2422 - 23位相连、2737 - 38位与2763 - 66位相连以及2791位与2890位相连。结合对23S RNA的三维模型构建研究结果对这些结果进行了讨论,特别提及了50S亚基“活性中心”的环境。
