In order to identify ribosomal components involved in the peptidyl-tRNA binding site on the ribosome, tRNAPhe molecules were prepared in which cytidine residues had been chemically converted into 4-thiouridine (S4U). This nucleoside is photoactive at 335 nm and able to form covalent bonds with nearby nucleophilic groups. The thiolated AcPhe-tRNAPhe was bound to the ribosomal P site in the presence of poly(U) as verified by puromycin reactivity. Direct irradiation of the AcPhe-[s4U]tRNAPhe poly(U) 70-S ribosome complex induced crosslinking of the tRNA molecule exclusively to 30-S subunits. Analysis of the covalent complex revealed that AcPhe-[s4U]tRNAPhe was specifically crosslinked to protein S10.
为了鉴定核糖体上肽基 - tRNA结合位点所涉及的核糖体组分,制备了其中胞苷残基已被化学转化为4 - 硫尿苷(S4U)的苯丙氨酸tRNA(tRNAPhe)分子。这种核苷在335nm处具有光活性,并且能够与附近的亲核基团形成共价键。如通过嘌呤霉素反应性所证实的,在聚尿苷酸(poly(U))存在下,硫醇化的乙酰苯丙氨酰 - tRNAPhe(AcPhe - tRNAPhe)与核糖体P位点结合。对乙酰苯丙氨酰 - [s4U]tRNAPhe - poly(U) - 70 - S核糖体复合物的直接照射仅诱导了tRNA分子与30 - S亚基的交联。对共价复合物的分析表明,乙酰苯丙氨酰 - [s4U]tRNAPhe与蛋白质S10特异性交联。
