Effects of mutagenesis of a conserved base-paired site near the decoding region of Escherichia coli 16 S ribosomal RNA
Abstract
Eleven of 15 possible single and double mutations were constructed in a cloned copy of Escherichia coli 16 S rDNA at a base-paired site, 1409-1491. Expression of any of these mutations was detrimental to the growth of E. coli. Mutations that substituted unpaired purine bases were lethal in the system described. Otherwise, the degree of detrimental effect on growth-rate was not directly correlated with specific rRNA primary or secondary structures. Using reverse transcription of rRNA isolated from subunits or 70 S ribosomes, we were able to determine the amount of mutant rRNA used in translation. From these experiments, we found that the lethal mutations appeared to be selectively excluded from the pool of 70 S ribosomes following expression from a repressible plasmid. In contrast, a non-lethal mutation was present in subunits, ribosomes and polysomes in approximately equal amounts. Mutations that disrupted base-pairing were found to confer varying levels of resistance to nine aminoglycosides, including four neomycins, two kanamycins, gentamicin, apramycin and hygromycin. A high frequency of reversion from resistant and slow-growth phenotypes due to a host mutation was observed.

“Neither of these residues is near the binding site of HygB, and the reported loss of binding of the antibiotic must be due to an allosteric effect caused by disruption of the G1491:C1409 base pair, as the authors themselves suggest (De Stasio and Dahlberg 1990”

“…has been shown that loss of the ability of HygB to bind the 30S is also caused by mutation of either G1491 with kinetic experiments that suggest that tetracycline only affects the rate of binding of EF-Tu ternary complex or C1409, which form a Watson-Crick base pair (De Stasio and Dahlberg, 1990).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
