Complex of Thermous thermophilus ribosome (A-and P-site tRNA) bound to BipA-GDPCP
Structural highlights
FunctionRL1_THET8 Directly binds to 23S rRNA. Forms what is known as the L1 stalk, which protrudes beyond the 70S ribosome surface. The stalk is preferentially stabilized in 70S versus 50S crystals. Interacts with the E site tRNA, blocking the exit path. This blockage implies that this section of the ribosome must be able to move to release the deacetylated tRNA.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01318_B] Protein L1 is also a translational repressor protein, it controls the translation of the L11 operon by binding to its mRNA (By similarity).[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01318_B] Publication Abstract from PubMedBPI-inducible protein A (BipA) is a member of the family of ribosome-dependent translational GTPase (trGTPase) factors along with elongation factors G and 4 (EF-G and EF4). Despite being highly conserved in bacteria and playing a critical role in coordinating cellular responses to environmental changes, its structures (isolated and ribosome bound) remain elusive. Here, we present the crystal structures of apo form and GTP analog, GDP, and guanosine-3',5'-bisdiphosphate (ppGpp)-bound BipA. In addition to having a distinctive domain arrangement, the C-terminal domain of BipA has a unique fold. Furthermore, we report the cryo-electron microscopy structure of BipA bound to the ribosome in its active GTP form and elucidate the unique structural attributes of BipA interactions with the ribosome and A-site tRNA in the light of its possible function in regulating translation.
