Photoinduced affinity labeling of the Escherichia coli ribosome puromycin site. 1978

E N Jaynes, and P G Grant, and G Giangrande, and R Wieder, and B S Cooperman

The photoincorporation of puromycin into Escherichia coli ribosomes has been studied in detail. Incorporation into protein L23 as a function of puromycin concentration follows a simple saturation curve and is specifically blocked by structural and functional analogues of puromycin, thus demonstrating that such incorporation proceeds via an affinity labeling process. Incorporation into L23 becomes more specific as the light fluence is reduced, indicating that such incorporation takes place from a native rather than light-denatured puromycin site. L23 remains the major labeled protein using ribosomes prepared by several procedures, suggesting the conservative nature of the site. In addition evidence is presented for affinity labeling of S14 and of a site in the RNA fraction of the 50S particle. Specific incorporation appears to proceed with an anomalously high quantum yield. The detailed photochemical mechanism is not understood, although 8-alkylation of purine moiety has been excluded. Incorporation is largely inhibited in the presence of thiol reagents.

D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
