The absence of modified nucleotides affects both in vitro assembly and in vitro function of the 30S ribosomal subunit of Escherichia coli

Abstract
16S RNA of Escherichia coli lacking all post-transcriptional modifications and with 5'-termini of pppGGGAGA-, pppGAA-, pppAAA-, and pAAA- were prepared by in vitro transcription of appropriately engineered plasmids with T7 or SP6 RNA polymerases. These synthetic versions of 16S RNA were compared with natural 16S RNA for their ability to reconstitute 30S ribosomal subunits in vitro using varied conditions for both the isolation of the RNA and for reconstitution. Under all conditions studied, natural 16S RNA assembled correctly, as judged by velocity centrifugation comparison with an internal standard of native 30S particles, and the recovered ribosomes were 80-100% as active as native 30S ribosomes in initiation complex formation, P site binding of AcVal-tRNA, A site binding of Phe-tRNA, and formation of the first peptide bond. In contrast, all of the synthetic constructs including pAAA-, which has the same sequence as native 16S RNA, were only partially active in reconstitution and in the functional assays. We conclude that the lack of the 10 methylated nucleotides and/or the 2 pseudouridylate residues present in natural 16S RNA must be responsible for the reduced activity of the synthetic RNAs in ribosome assembly and function.
