Despite being essential for mRNA recruitment and its primary role in the accommodation of the start codon within the decoding centre, there has not yet been a high-resolution description of its structure. Here, we present a 3D atomic model of OB1 and OB2, bS1's first two N-terminal domains, bound to an elongation-competent 70S ribosome. Our structure reveals that, as previously reported, bS1 is anchored both by a π-stacking to the 30S subunit and via a salt bridge with the Zn2+ pocket of bS1. These contacts are further stabilized by other interactions with additional residues on OB1. Our model also shows a new conformation of OB2, interacting with the Shine-Dalgarno portion of the mRNA. This study confirms that OB1 plays an anchoring role, but also highlights a novel function for OB2, which is directly involved in the modulation and support of mRNA binding and accommodation on the ribosome. |
