- Ribosomal rpsD mutations did not stimulate nonsense suppressor tRNAs in a general manner according to their increased ribosomal ambiguity and decreased proofreading efficiency. Streptomycin, which stimulates error production by blocking proofreading in vitro, did not increase efficiency of suppressor tRNAs in strains with normal or streptomycin-resistant (rpsL) ribosomes. It did so only in combination with one rpsL mutation which is associated with streptomycin pseudodependence.

- Ribosomal mutants (rpsD) which are associated with a generally increased translational ambiguity were investigated for their effects in vivo on individual tRNA species using suppressor tRNAs as models. It was found that nonsense suppression is either increased, unaffected or decreased depending on the codon context and the rpsD allele involved as well as the nature of the suppressor tRNA. Missense suppression of AGA and AGG by glyT(SuAGA/G) tRNA as well as UGG by glyT(SuUGG-8) tRNA is unaffected whereas suppression of UGG by glyT(SuUGA/G) or glyV(SuUGA/G) tRNA is decreased in the presence of an rpsD mutation. The effects on suppressor tRNA are thus not correlated with the ribosomal ambiguity (Ram) phenotype of the rpsD mutants used in this study. It is suggested that the mutationally altered ribosomes are changed in functional interactions with the suppressor tRNA itself rather than with the competing translational release factor(s) or cognate aminoacyl tRNA. The structure of suppressor tRNA, particularly the anticodon loop, and the suppressed codon as well as the codon context determine the allele specific functional interactions with these ribosomal mutations.

Involvement of ribosomal protein L7/L12 in control of translational accuracy

- The effects of two mutations, which map at the rplL locus and both give a changed 50S ribosomal protein L7/L12, were studied. Both mutations are associated with an increased misreading of all three nonsense codons in vivo and ribosomes from the mutants give an increased misreading of the phenylalanine codon UUU by tRNALeu in vitro. The rplL-associated misreading in vitro is not limited to a particular type of mRNA or tRNA. Results from a translational proofreading assay, using mutant ribosomes, suggest that protein L7/L12 is involved in the control of translational accuracy by contributing to the efficiency of a translational proofreading step(s).

Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- RNase P, an enzyme that contains both RNA and protein components, cleaves tRNA precursors to generate mature 5' termini. The catalytic activity of RNase P resides in the RNA component, with the protein cofactor affecting the rate of the cleavage reaction. The reaction is also influenced by the nature of the tRNA substrate.

Mutations in ribosomal proteins L7/L12 perturb EF-G and EF-Tu functons
- 1988

- In vitro cycling rates of E. coli ribosomes and of elongation factors EF-Tu and EF-G have been obtained and these are compatible with translation rates in vivo. We show that the rate of translocation is faster than 50 s-1 and therefore that the EF-G function is not a rate limiting step in protein synthesis. The in vivo phenotype of some L7/L12 mutants could be accounted for by perturbed EF-Tu as well as EF-G functions. The S12 mutants that we studied were, in contrast, only perturbed in their EF-Tu function, while their EF-G interaction was not impaired in relation to wild type ribosomes.

Differential effects of mutations in the protein and RNA moieties of RNase P on the efficiency of suppression by various tRNA suppressors
- 1988

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We have studied the efficiency of suppression by tRNA suppressors in vivo in strains of Escherichia coli that harbor a mutation in the rnpA gene, the gene for the protein component (C5) of RNase P, and in strains that carry several different alleles of the rnpB gene, the gene for the RNA component (M1) of RNase P. Depending on the genetic background, different efficiencies of suppression by the various tRNA suppressors were observed. Thus, mutations in rnpA have separable and distinct effects from mutations in rnpB on the processing of tRNA precursors by RNase P. In addition, the efficiency of suppression by several derivatives of E. coli tRNA(Tyr) Su3 changed as the genetic background was altered.
