| الوصف: | Background: Ribosome biogenesis is a complicated multi-stage process. In the cell, 30S ribosomal subunit assembly is fast and efficient, proceeding with the help of numerous assembly protein factors. The exact role of most assembly factors and mechanistic details of their operation remain unclear. The combination of genetic modification with cryo-EM analysis is widely used to identify the role of protein factors in assisting specific steps of the ribosome assembly process. The strain with knockout of a single assembly factor gene accumulates immature ribosomal particles which structural characterization reveals the information about the reactions catalyzed by the corresponding factor. Methods: We isolated the immature 30S subunits (pre-30S subunits) from the Escherichia coli strain lacking the rbfA gene (ΔrbfA) and characterized them by cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM). Results: Deletion of the assembly factor RbfA caused a substantial distortion of the structure of an important central pseudoknot which connects three major domains of 30S subunit and is necessary for ribosome stability. It was shown that the relative order of the assembly of the 3′ head domain and the docking of the functionally important helix 44 depends on the presence of RbfA. The formation of the central pseudoknot may promote stabilization of the head domain, likely through the RbfA-dependent maturation of the neck helix 28. The cryo-EM maps for pre-30S subunits were divided into the classes corresponding to consecutive assembly intermediates: from the particles with completely unresolved head domain and unfolded central pseudoknot to almost mature 30S subunits with well-resolved body, platform, and head domains and with partially distorted helix 44. Cryo-EM analysis of ΔrbfA 30S particles revealing the accumulation of two predominant classes of early and late intermediates (obtained at 2.7 Å resolutions) allowed us to suggest that RbfA participate in two stages of the 30S subunit assembly and is deeper involved in the maturation process ... |
