Direct localization of the tRNA--anticodon interaction site on the Escherichia coli 30 S ribosomal subunit by electron microscopy and computerized image averaging

Abstract
Previous immunoelectron microscopy studies have shown that the anticodon of valyl-tRNA, photocrosslinked to the ribosomal P site at the C1400 residue of the 16 S RNA, is located in the vicinity of the cleft of the small ribosomal subunit of Escherichia coli. In this study we used single-particle image-averaging techniques to demonstrate that the 30 S-bound tRNA molecule can be localized directly, without the need for specific antibody markers. In agreement with the immunoelectron microscopy results, we find that the tRNA molecule appears to be located deep in the cleft of the 30 S subunit. We believe that the use of computer image averaging to localize ligands bound to ribosomes and other macromolecular complexes will become widespread because of the superior sensitivity, precision and objectivity of this technique compared with conventional immunoelectron microscopy.
