Mutations in the conserved P loop perturb the conformation of two structural elements in the peptidyl transferase center of 23 S ribosomal RNA.

Abstract:

:Evidence is presented for the participation of the P loop (nucleotides G2250-C2254) of 23 S rRNA in establishing the tertiary structure of the peptidyl transferase center. Single base substitutions were introduced into the P loop, which participates in peptide bond formation through direct interaction with the CCA end of P site-bound tRNA. These mutations altered the pattern of reactivity of RNA to chemical probes in a structural subdomain encompassing the P loop and extending roughly from G2238 to A2433. Most of the effects on chemical modification in the P loop subdomain occurred near sites of tertiary interactions inferred from comparative sequence analysis, indicating that these mutations perturb the tertiary structure of this region of RNA. Changes in chemical modification were also seen in a subdomain composed of the 2530 loop (nucleotides G2529-A2534) and the A loop (nucleotides U2552-C2556), the latter a site of interaction with the CCA end of A site-bound tRNA. Mutations in the P loop induced effects on chemical modification that were commensurate with the severity of their characterized functional defects in peptide bond formation, tRNA binding and translational fidelity. These results indicate that, in addition to its direct role in peptide bond formation, the P loop contributes to the tertiary structure of the peptidyl transferase center and influences the conformation of both the acceptor and peptidyl tRNA binding sites.
