2i2t | pdb_00002i2t
Crystal Structure of Ribosome with messenger RNA and the Anticodon stem-loop of P-site tRNA. This file contains the 50s subunit of one 70s ribosome. The entire crystal structure contains two 70s ribosomes and is described in remark 400.

Overview
Protein synthesis requires the accurate positioning of mRNA and tRNA in, the peptidyl-tRNA site of the ribosome. Here we describe x-ray crystal, structures of the intact bacterial ribosome from Escherichia coli in a, complex with mRNA and the anticodon stem-loop of P-site tRNA. At 3.5-A, resolution, these structures reveal rearrangements in the intact ribosome, that clamp P-site tRNA and mRNA on the small ribosomal subunit. Binding of, the anticodon stem-loop of P-site tRNA to the ribosome is sufficient to, lock the head of the small ribosomal subunit in a single conformation, thereby preventing movement of mRNA and tRNA before mRNA decoding.
