By means of cryo-electron microscopy, we obtained a map of the complex composed of a stalled ribosome and small protein B, which appears near the decoding center. This result suggests that, when lacking a codon, the A-site on the small subunit is a target for small protein B. To investigate the role of S1 played in trans-translation, we obtained a cryo-electron microscopic map, including a stalled ribosome, transfer-messenger RNA, and small protein Bs but in the absence of S1. In this complex, several connections between the 30 S subunit and transfer-messenger RNA that appear in the +S1 complex are no longer found. We propose the unifying concept of scaffolding for the roles of small protein B and S1 in binding of transfer-messenger RNA to the ribosome during trans-translation, and we infer a pathway of sequential binding events in the initial phase of trans-translation. |
