Abstract:
:Colicin E5 cleaves tRNAs for Tyr, His, Asn and Asp in their anticodons to abolish protein synthesis in Escherichia coli. We previously showed how its C-terminal RNase domain, E5-CRD, recognizes the anticodon bases but the catalytic mechanism remained to be elucidated. Although the reaction products with 5'-OH and 2',3'-cyclic phosphate ends suggested a similar mechanism to those of RNases A and T1, E5-CRD does not have the His residues necessary as a catalyst in usual RNases. To identify residues important for the catalytic reaction, mutants as to all residues within 5 Å from the central phosphorus of the scissile phosphodiester bond were prepared. Evaluation of the killing activities of the mutant colicins and the RNase activities of the mutant E5-CRDs suggested direct involvement of Arg33, Lys25, Gln29 and Lys60 in the reaction. Particularly, Arg33 plays a critical role and Ile94 provides a structural support of Arg33. Crystal structure of the complex of E5-CRD(R33Q)/dGpdUp showed structural and binding functional integrity of this mutant protein, suggesting involvement of Arg33 in the catalytic reaction. The structure of the free E5-CRD, we also determined, showed great flexibility of a flap region, which facilitates the access of Lys60 to the substrate in an induced-fit manner.
