Transit of tRNA through the Escherichia coli Ribosome
CROSS-LINKING OF THE 3' END OF tRNA TO SPECIFIC NUCLEOTIDES OF THE 23 S RIBOSOMAL RNA AT THE A, P, AND E SITES*

When bound to Escherichia coli ribosomes and irradiated with near-UV light, various derivatives of yeast tRNAPhe containing 2-azidoadenosine at the 3' terminus form cross-links to 23 S rRNA and 50 S subunit proteins in a site-dependent manner. A and P site-bound tRNAs, whose 3' termini reside in the peptidyl transferase center, label primarily nucleotides U2506 and U2585 and protein L27. In contrast, E site-bound tRNA labels nucleotide C2422 and protein L33. The cross-linking patterns confirm the topographical separation of the peptidyl transferase center from the E site domain. The relative amounts of label incorporated into the universally conserved residues U2506 and U2585 depend on the occupancy of the A and P sites by different tRNA ligands and indicates that these nucleotides play a pivotal role in peptide transfer. In particular, the 3'-adenosine of the peptidyl-tRNA analogue, AcPhe-tRNAPhe, remains in close contact with U2506 regardless of whether its anticodon is located in the A site or P site. Our findings, therefore, modify and extend the hybrid state model of tRNA-ribosome interaction. We show that the 3'-end of the deacylated tRNA that is formed after transpeptidation does not immediately progress to the E site but remains temporarily in the peptidyl transferase center. In addition, we demonstrate that the E site, defined by the labeling of nucleotide C2422 and protein L33, represents an intermediate state of binding that precedes the entry of deacylated tRNA into the F (final) site from which it dissociates into the cytoplasm.
