Creating ribosomes with an all-RNA 30S subunit P site.

Abstract excerpt

Ribosome crystal structures have revealed that two small subunit proteins, S9 and S13, have C-terminal tails, which, together with several features of 16S rRNA, contact the anticodon stem-loop of P-site tRNA. To test the functional importance of these protein tails, we created genomic deletions of the C-terminal regions of S9 and S13. All of the tail deletions, including double mutants containing deletions in...
