3-(4'-Benzoylphenyl)propionyl[3H] Phe-tRNA bound to the peptidyl site of the ribosome is photo-crosslinked exclusively to 23S RNA on irradiation at 320 nm. The site of reaction has been identified both by hybridization and primer-extension experiments as uridine-2584 and uridine-2585, located within the central loop of domain V according to the secondary structure model of 23S RNA. The fact that the covalently crosslinked tRNA retains its ability to form a peptide bond, together with the proximity of this site to the position of several mutations leading to chloramphenicol or erythromycin resistance strongly argue that this region of the 23S-like rRNAs is an integral component of the peptidyl transferase site. On the basis of these results, and from comparative analysis of the 16 available large subunit rRNA sequences, we propose a model for the functional organization of the peptidyl transferase site involving interaction of domains II and V of 23S rRNA.
与核糖体肽基位点结合的3-(4'-苯甲酰苯基)丙酰基[3H]苯丙氨酰 - tRNA在320nm光照下仅与23S RNA发生光交联。通过杂交和引物延伸实验已确定反应位点为尿苷-2584和尿苷-2585,根据23S RNA的二级结构模型,它们位于结构域V的中央环内。共价交联的tRNA保留其形成肽键的能力,以及该位点与导致氯霉素或红霉素抗性的几个突变位置接近,这有力地表明23S样rRNA的这个区域是肽基转移酶位点的一个组成部分。基于这些结果,并通过对16个可用的大亚基rRNA序列的比较分析,我们提出了一个肽基转移酶位点功能组织的模型,该模型涉及23S rRNA的结构域II和V的相互作用。
