Figure 4.
The yeast 18S rRNA sticky regions set in the context of the crystal structure of the 40S subunit. The structure was adopted from 3U5B PDB structure {PDB, #31} {Ben-Shem, 2011 #29}. The 18S rRNA structure is shown using ribbons overlaid with the surface representations of the small ribosomal proteins to demonstrate the accessibility of the 18S rRNA sticky regions on the ribosomal surface. For the color coding of the sticky regions denoted by ‘SR’ followed by the coordinates of their positions in the 18S RNA sequence, please see the last chapter of the ‘Results’ section. The ESs are labeled as ‘ESxy’, where ‘x’ represents a number and ‘y’ indicates the subunit (‘s’ small, ‘L’ large).
