By means of cryo-electron microscopy we observe that this rotation is accompanied by a 20 A movement of the L1 stalk of the 50S subunit, implying that this region is involved in the translocation of deacylated tRNAs from the P to the E site. These ribosomal motions can occur only when the P-site tRNA is deacylated. Prior to peptidyl-transfer to the A-site tRNA or peptide removal, the presence of the charged P-site tRNA locks the ribosome and prohibits both of these motions. Locking and unlocking of ribosomal motions.,Valle M, Zavialov A, Sengupta J, Rawat U, Ehrenberg M, Frank J Cell. 2003 Jul 11;114(1):123-34.
