Abstract
The chemically reactive analog of U-G-A, 5'-(4-(Bromo-[2-14C] acetamido) phenylphospho) - uridylyl-(3'-5') - guanylyl-(3'-5') adenosine has a 20 fold lower affinity to 70S ribosomes than the corresponding analog of A-U-G though the U-G-A analog also preferentially reacts with protein S18 of 70S ribosomes. This reaction programs ribosomes for EF-T dependent Trp-tRNATrp-suIII binding. Therefore, it is concluded that this protein is part of the A'-site of the ribosomal codon binding site. Reaction of the U-G-A analog with 30S subunits lead to a predominant crosslinking of U-G-A to proteins S4 and S18. In contrast, a comparable reaction of the A-U-G analog with 30S subunits lead to a predominant crosslinking of A-U-G to proteins S4 and S12 (Pongs, O., Stoffler, G.A., Lanka, E., (1975) J. Mol. Biol. 99, 301). Since protein S12 is located at the 'P' site of the ribosomal codon binding site, it is proposed that the U-G-A analog does not bind at this site.
