Abstract:
:Fluorescence techniques were used to detect changes in the conformation of tRNA(Phe) that may occur during the peptidyl transferase reaction in which the tRNA appears to move between binding sites on ribosomes. Such a conformational change may be a fundamental part of the translocation mechanism by which tRNA and mRNA are moved through ribosomes. E. coli tRNA(Phe) was specifically labeled on acp3U47 and s4U8 or at the D positions 16 and 20. The labeled tRNAs were bound to ribosomes as deacylated tRNA(Phe) or AcPhe-tRNA. Changes in fluorescence quantum yield and anisotropy were measured upon binding to the ribosomes and during the peptidyl transferase reaction. In one set of experiments non-radiative energy transfer was measured between a coumarin probe at position 16 or 20 and a fluorescein attached to acp3U47 on the same tRNA(Phe) molecule. The results indicate that the apparent distance between the probes increases during deacylation of AcPhe-tRNA as a result of peptide bond formation. All of the results are consistent with but in themselves do not conclusively establish that tRNA undergoes a conformational change as well as movement during the peptidyl transferase reaction.
