This book was released on 2011-12-10 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ribosome is a macromolecular machine that synthesizes proteins with a high degree of speed and accuracy. Our present understanding of its structure, function and dynamics is the result of six decades of research. This book collects over 40 articles based on the talks presented at the 2010 Ribosome Meeting, held in Orvieto, Italy, covering all facets of the structure and function of the ribosome. New high-resolution crystal structures of functional ribosome complexes and cryo-EM structures of translating ribosomes are presented, while partial reactions of translation are examined in structural and mechanistic detail, featuring translocation as a most dynamic process. Mechanisms of initiation, both in bacterial and eukaryotic systems, translation termination, and novel details of the functions of the respective factors are described. Structure and interactions of the nascent peptide within, and emerging from, the ribosomal peptide exit tunnel are addressed in several articles. Structural and single-molecule studies reveal a picture of the ribosome exhibiting the energy landscape of a processive Brownian machine. The collection provides up-to-date reviews which will serve as a source of essential information for years to come.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Knud Nierhaus, who has studied the ribosome for more than 30 years, has assembled here the combined efforts of several scientific disciplines into a uniform picture of the largest enzyme complex found in living cells, finally resolving many decades-old questions in molecular biology. In so doing he considers virtually all aspects of ribosome structure and function -- from the molecular mechanism of different ribosomal ribozyme activities to their selective inhibition by antibiotics, from assembly of the core particle to the regulation of ribosome component synthesis. The result is a premier resource for anyone with an interest in ribosomal protein synthesis, whether in the context of molecular biology, biotechnology, pharmacology or molecular medicine.

This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last 20 years, the technology used to create synthetic DNA has greatly advanced. Today, DNA can now be synthesized 3 times as quickly and costs 5 times less. The availability of recombinant DNA systems provides flexibility for researchers in academia and industry trying to solve metabolic engineering problems and elucidate biological functions. One common metabolic engineering problem is developing a system to control the expression of a protein of interest over a range from very little to very large expression. Instead of generating large combinatorial libraries to find a sequence with a specific function, which is time consuming and inefficient, researchers are rationally altering the DNA sequence to achieve a desired attribute using information gained from biophysical modeling. One such alteration is the design of synthetic ribosome binding sites to improve the rate of translation initiation in order to increase the expression of protein. The Ribosome Binding Site Calculator (RBS) is software that utilizes a biophysical model of translation initiation to allow researchers to predict the translation initiation rate of a particular sequence or generate a synthetic RBS with a specified translation initiation rate. There are many interactions that take place during translation initiation. In order to improve the accuracy of the model's predictions, one such interaction that we studied is the ribosomal footprint. The ribosome must unfold a section of messenger RNA (mRNA) after the start codon and load it into an mRNA channel. This channel can only accommodate single stranded mRNA. The number of nucleotides in the coding section the ribosome must unfold and load into the channel is the ribosomal footprint (FP). We hypothesized that a secondary structure contained in the ribosomal footprint must be unfolded and would greatly decrease protein expression, and that a secondary structure outside of the footprint region would not have to be unfolded and protein expression would be higher. We identified the ribosomal footprint for Escherichia coli by creating a high expressing RBS sequence and a modified coding section appended to the red fluorescent protein (RFP) reporter gene. The modified coding section featured a movable hairpin structure that was moved from immediately after ATG (position 3) to position 39 to show the changes in protein expression. We found that translation initiation gradually increased from very low levels when the hairpin was close to the start codon to over 1000-fold higher after the hairpin had passed the footprint region. The footprint was found to be 13 or 14 nucleotides including the start codon. Discrepancies between the model predictions and the data revealed the free energy the ribosome must expend to load the mRNA into the channel. The average error for constructs with a hairpin located 3 to 10 nucleotides into the coding sequence was determined to be 7.7 kcal/mol. This value represents the free energy cost of secondary structure within the footprint region, [delta]Gload. This information improves the biophysical model by determining the free energy change of loading the mRNA into the channel and will provide researchers with more accurate predictions of translation initiation.

Download or read book Interactions Between MRNA and Escherichia Coli Ribosomes that Contribute to the Formation of Translation Initiation Complexes written by Jay Edward Brock and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Initiation is the rate-limiting step of translation involving the assembly of stable ternary complexes (mRNA-tRNA-ribosomes) on the translation initiation region (TIR) of the mRNA. Evidence for many non-Shine-Dalgarno (SD)-led genes, including genes encoding leaderless mRNA, provides motive for studying mRNA features within the coding sequence that contribute to the formation of these complexes. Binding and expression assays reveal here that adenines downstream from a mRNA's start codon contribute significantly to the rate and amount of ternary complex formed as well as the level of in vivo expression, even in the presence of a canonical SD sequence. Leaderless mRNA, which lack signals upstream of the start codon, requires a 5'-terminal triphosphate for efficient translation. A mutagenesis approach was developed to search for ribosome sites involved in recognizing a leaderless mRNA's 5'-terminal triphosphate. Binding assays demonstrated tRNA-dependent ribosome binding to leaderless mRNA; however, site-specific crosslinks between a leaderless mRNA's start codon, containing a 4-thiouridine at +2 position, and components of the ribosome formed independent of initiator tRNA. Several leaderless mRNA-r-protein contacts were dependent on the presence of a 5'-terminal AUG, suggesting that specific r-proteins might facilitate recognition of a leaderless mRNA's start codon. In addition, initiation factors did not influence the initial interactions between leaderless mRNA and ribosomes identified in site-specific crosslinking assays. This work provides the first evidence that recognition and ribosomal positioning of a leaderless mRNA's 5'-AUG is a function of the ribosome.
