Structural highlights
Function[D7Y3D0_ECOLX] Binds to 23S rRNA. Forms part of two intersubunit bridges in the 70S ribosome.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01367][RuleBase:RU003950] [U9Y1I5_ECOLX] One of the proteins that surrounds the polypeptide exit tunnel on the outside of the subunit.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01326] One of two assembly initiator proteins, it binds directly to the 5'-end of the 23S rRNA, where it nucleates assembly of the 50S subunit.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01326] [A0A080FKA9_ECOLX] This protein binds to the 23S rRNA, and is important in its secondary structure. It is located near the subunit interface in the base of the L7/L12 stalk, and near the tRNA binding site of the peptidyltransferase center.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01365][RuleBase:RU003870] [W1HFV2_ECOLX] Binds directly to 23S ribosomal RNA and is necessary for the in vitro assembly process of the 50S ribosomal subunit. It is not involved in the protein synthesizing functions of that subunit.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00382][RuleBase:RU000560] [D7XH79_ECOLX] This is one of the proteins that binds to the 5S RNA in the ribosome where it forms part of the central protuberance.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01336][SAAS:SAAS00629804] [D7ZEN7_ECOLX] This protein binds to 23S rRNA in the presence of protein L20.[RuleBase:RU000562][SAAS:SAAS00637547] [L2UTN8_ECOLX] This protein is located at the 30S-50S ribosomal subunit interface and may play a role in the structure and function of the aminoacyl-tRNA binding site.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00402][RuleBase:RU000559] [D6IEL1_ECOLX] Binds 23S rRNA and is also seen to make contacts with the A and possibly P site tRNAs.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01342][RuleBase:RU004414] [H4KMS0_ECOLX] This is 1 of the proteins that binds and probably mediates the attachment of the 5S RNA into the large ribosomal subunit, where it forms part of the central protuberance. In the 70S ribosome it contacts protein S13 of the 30S subunit (bridge B1b), connecting the 2 subunits; this bridge is implicated in subunit movement. Contacts the P site tRNA; the 5S rRNA and some of its associated proteins might help stabilize positioning of ribosome-bound tRNAs.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01333] [A0A1X3I1Y9_ECOLX] One of the primary rRNA binding proteins. Required for association of the 30S and 50S subunits to form the 70S ribosome, for tRNA binding and peptide bond formation. It has been suggested to have peptidyltransferase activity; this is somewhat controversial. Makes several contacts with the 16S rRNA in the 70S ribosome.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01320] [A0A037Y8L6_ECOLX] Binds to the 23S rRNA.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01341][SAAS:SAAS00124822] [J7RVN9_ECOLX] One of the early assembly proteins it binds 23S rRNA. One of the proteins that surrounds the polypeptide exit tunnel on the outside of the ribosome. Forms the main docking site for trigger factor binding to the ribosome.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01369] [D7Z9H1_ECOLX] This is one of the proteins that binds and probably mediates the attachment of the 5S RNA into the large ribosomal subunit, where it forms part of the central protuberance.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01337] [D7ZI15_ECOLX] Binds to the 23S rRNA.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00503] [RL3_ECOLI] One of two assembly inititator proteins, it binds directly near the 3'-end of the 23S rRNA, where it nucleates assembly of the 50S subunit.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01325_B] [D7Z9G0_ECOLX] The globular domain of the protein is located near the polypeptide exit tunnel on the outside of the subunit, while an extended beta-hairpin is found that lines the wall of the exit tunnel in the center of the 70S ribosome.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01331] This protein binds specifically to 23S rRNA; its binding is stimulated by other ribosomal proteins, e.g., L4, L17, and L20. It is important during the early stages of 50S assembly. It makes multiple contacts with different domains of the 23S rRNA in the assembled 50S subunit and ribosome.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01331][RuleBase:RU004008] [D7ZET0_ECOLX] This protein is one of the early assembly proteins of the 50S ribosomal subunit, although it is not seen to bind rRNA by itself. It is important during the early stages of 50S assembly.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01366][RuleBase:RU003878][SAAS:SAAS00672061] [D7Z9F6_ECOLX] Forms part of the polypeptide exit tunnel.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01328] One of the primary rRNA binding proteins, this protein initially binds near the 5'-end of the 23S rRNA. It is important during the early stages of 50S assembly. It makes multiple contacts with different domains of the 23S rRNA in the assembled 50S subunit and ribosome.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01328] Publication Abstract from PubMedPost-transcriptional ribosomal RNA (rRNA) modifications are present in all organisms, but their exact functional roles and positions are yet to be fully characterized. Modified nucleotides have been implicated in the stabilization of RNA structure and regulation of ribosome biogenesis and protein synthesis. In some instances, rRNA modifications can confer antibiotic resistance. High-resolution ribosome structures are thus necessary for precise determination of modified nucleotides' positions, a task that has previously been accomplished by X-ray crystallography. Here, we present a cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structure of the Escherichia coli 50S subunit at an average resolution of 2.2 A as an additional approach for mapping modification sites. Our structure confirms known modifications present in 23S rRNA and additionally allows for localization of Mg2+ ions and their coordinated water molecules. Using our cryo-EM structure as a testbed, we developed a program for assessment of cryo-EM map quality. This program can be easily used on any RNA-containing cryo-EM structure, and an associated Coot plugin allows for visualization of validated modifications, making it highly accessible.
