During initiation, the 30S subunit, in a complex with IF3, binds mRNA, IF1, IF2-GTP, and fMet-tRNA(fMet) to form a 30S initiation complex which then recruits the 50S subunit to yield a 70S initiation complex, while the initiation factors are released. Here we describe a transient kinetic approach to study the timing of elemental steps Of 30S initiation complex formation, 50S subunit joining, and the dissociation of the initiation factors from the 70S initiation complex. Labeling of ribosomal subunits, fMet-tRNA(fMet), mRNA, and initiation factors with fluorescent reporter groups allows for the direct observation of the formation or dissociation of complexes by monitoring changes in the fluorescence of single dyes or fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) between two fluorophores. Subunit joining was monitored by light scattering or by FRET between dyes attached to the ribosomat subunits. The kinetics of chemical steps, that is, GTP hydrolysis by IF2 and peptide bond formation following the binding of aminoacyl-tRNA to the 70S initiation complex, were measured by the quench-ftow technique. The methods described here are based on results obtained with initiation components from Escherichia coli but can be adopted for mechanistic studies of initiation in other prokaryotic or eukaryotic systems."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1016/S0076-6879(07)30001-3"],["dc.identifier.gro","3143569"],["dc.identifier.isi","000250402400001"],["dc.identifier.pmid","17913632"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/1097"],["dc.notes.intern","WoS Import 2017-03-10"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.notes.submitter","PUB_WoS_Import"],["dc.publisher","Elsevier Academic Press Inc"],["dc.publisher.place","San diego"],["dc.relation.crisseries","Methods in Enzymology"],["dc.relation.isbn","978-0-12-373969-8"],["dc.relation.ispartof","Methods in enzymology"],["dc.relation.ispartofseries","Methods in Enzymology"],["dc.relation.issn","0076-6879"],["dc.title","Transient kinetics, fluorescence, and fret in studies of initiation of translation in bacteria"],["dc.type","book_chapter"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Here, we show that the conversion of the 30S initiation complex into the translating 70S ribosome constitutes another important mRNA control checkpoint. Kinetic analysis reveals that 50S subunit joining and dissociation of IF3 are strongly influenced by the nature of the codon used for initiation and the structural elements of the TIR. Coupling between the TIR and the rate of 70S initiation complex formation involves IF3- and IF1-induced rearrangements of the 30S subunit, providing a mechanism by which the ribosome senses the TIR and determines the efficiency of translational initiation of a particular mRNA."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1016/j.molcel.2008.04.014"],["dc.identifier.gro","3143278"],["dc.identifier.isi","000256984300006"],["dc.identifier.pmid","18570874"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/774"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","WoS Import 2017-03-10"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.notes.submitter","PUB_WoS_Import"],["dc.relation.issn","1097-2765"],["dc.title","Kinetic checkpoint at a late step in translation initiation"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

However, under stress conditions, the GTP concentration may decline by as much as 50%, and that of ppGpp can attain levels comparable to those of GTP. Here we show that IF2 binds ppGpp at the same nucleoticle-binding site and with similar affinity as GTP. Thus, GTP and the alarmone ppGpp can be considered two alternative physiologically relevant IF2 ligands. ppGpp interferes with IF2-dependent initiation complex formation, severely inhibits initiation dipeptide formation, and blocks the initiation step of translation. Our data suggest that IF2 has the properties of a cellular metabolic sensor and regulator that oscillates between an active GTP-bound form under conditions allowing active protein syntheses and an inactive ppGpp-bound form when shortage of nutrients would be detrimental, if not accompanied by slackening of this synthesis."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1073/pnas.0606384103"],["dc.identifier.gro","3143624"],["dc.identifier.isi","000240746600013"],["dc.identifier.pmid","16968770"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/1159"],["dc.notes.intern","WoS Import 2017-03-10"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.notes.submitter","PUB_WoS_Import"],["dc.publisher","Natl Acad Sciences"],["dc.relation.issn","0027-8424"],["dc.title","The nucleotide-binding site of bacterial translation initiation factor 2 (IF2) as a metabolic sensor"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
