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"]]
