Abstract：
:The specific effect of the binding of IF2 and initiator fMET-tRNA(fMet) on Escherichia coli 16S rRNA has been probed by phosphate alkylation with ethylnitrosourea. The results show that IF2 does not significantly shield portions of 16S rRNA but induces both reductions and enhancements of reactivity scattered in the entire molecule. Most of them are topographically constrained in a region corresponding to the cleft, the lateral protrusion, and the part of the head facing the protrusion (positions 694, 771, 791, 1225, 1268, 1398, 1401, 1504, and 1527). Weak effects are also observed in distant parts of the subunit (positions 301, 302, 492, and 1428). All the reactivity changes induced by the binding of IF2 are still observed in the presence of the initiator tRNA and AUG as messenger. The additional changes induced by the tRNA are mostly centered around the cleft-head-lateral protrusion region, near positions affected by IF2 binding. Most of the changes correspond to reduced reactivities (positions 791, 1222, 1263, 1393, 1395, 1430, 1431, 1504, 1528, and 1529), while enhanced reactivities are observed at positions 708, 709, and 1398. Functional implications are discussed, which stress the dynamic properties of the ribosome.
