A genetic network between Rps20 loop and 40S maturation mutants. ac rps20 loop alleles enhance the phenotypes of mutants that impair Rps3 N-domain assembly. a An RPS20 (rps20Δ) shuffle strain was transformed with the indicated plasmid-based rps20 alleles. Transformants were spotted in ten-fold serial dilutions on SDC-Leu and SDC+5-FOA plates and growth at 30 °C was monitored after 3 and 5 days, respectively. b An RPS20 (rps20Δ) RPS3 (rps3Δ) double shuffle strain was transformed with the indicated plasmid-based RPS20 and RPS3 wild-type and mutant alleles. Transformants were spotted in ten-fold serial dilutions on SDC-Leu-Trp and SDC+5-FOA plates and growth at 30 °C was monitored after 3 and 5 days, respectively. c Polysome profiles of cells expressing the indicated rps20 alleles, revealing an increased 40S synthesis defect when a rps20 loop mutation is combined with a rps20 allele that affects the interaction with the Rps3 N-domain (R68/K69>A D113/E115>K mutant). The panels below the profiles show growth of the respective strains on YPD plates incubated for 2 days at 30 °C. d, e Genetic interactions between rps20 loop alleles and mutants of pre-40S assembly factors (AFs). An RPS20 (rps20Δ) RIO2 (rio2Δ) double shuffle strain (d) and an RPS20 (rps20Δ) shuffle ltv1Δ strain (e) were transformed with the indicated plasmid-based alleles. Transformants were spotted in ten-fold serial dilutions on SDC-Leu-Trp (-leu-trp) or 5-FOA-containing medium and growth at 30 °C was monitored at the indicated days. f Genetic network illustrating the interplay of the Rps20 loop with AFs and r-proteins at distant sites on the pre-40S ribosome. All genetic interactions discovered in this study (Figs. 2 and 3) and in our previous study19 are indicated by dashed lines. g The Rps20 loop is required for AF release from cytoplasmic pre-40S particles. Tsr1-TAP particles were purified from wild-type RPS20 or rps20Δloop yeast strains. Eluates were analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and western blotting using the indicated specific antibodies
