Abstract
Fragments of tRNA possessing a free TpsiC-loop or a free D-loop form stable complexes with the colicin fragment (1494-1542) of 16S ribosomal RNA from E. coli. The colicin fragment does not bind to tRNA in which the T-loop and the D-loop are involved in tertiary interactions. Colicin cleavage of the 16S rRNA from E. coli is inhibited by aminoacyl-tRNA or tRNA fragments, indicating that a similar interaction may take place on the intact 70S ribosomes. The oligonucleotide d(G-T-T-C-G-A)homologous to the conserved sequence G-T-psi-C-Pu-(m1)A in the TpsiC-region of many elongator tRNAs binds to the conserved sequence U-C-G-mU-A-A-C (1495-1501) of the 16S rRNA. It is suggested that the 3'-end of the 16S rRNA may provide the part of the binding site for the elongator tRNAs on bacterial ribosomes.
