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 (By similarity). Publication Abstract from PubMed The antibiotic blasticidin S (BlaS) is a potent inhibitor of protein synthesis in bacteria and eukaryotes. We have determined a 3.4-A crystal structure of BlaS bound to a 70StRNA ribosome complex and performed biochemical and single-molecule FRET experiments to determine the mechanism of action of the antibiotic. We find that BlaS enhances tRNA binding to the P site of the large ribosomal subunit and slows down spontaneous intersubunit rotation in pretranslocation ribosomes. However, the antibiotic has negligible effect on elongation factor G catalyzed translocation of tRNA and mRNA. The crystal structure of the antibiotic-ribosome complex reveals that BlaS impedes protein synthesis through a unique mechanism by bending the 3' terminus of the P-site tRNA toward the A site of the large ribosomal subunit. Biochemical experiments demonstrate that stabilization of the deformed conformation of the P-site tRNA by BlaS strongly inhibits peptidyl-tRNA hydrolysis by release factors and, to a lesser extent, peptide bond formation. Blasticidin S inhibits translation by trapping deformed tRNA on the ribosome.,Svidritskiy E, Ling C, Ermolenko DN, Korostelev AA Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2013 Jul 23;110(30):12283-8. doi:, 10.1073/pnas.1304922110.
