The Crystal Structure of the Ribosome Bound to EF-Tu and Aminoacyl-tRNA
Open accessAbstract
Ribosomes Caught in Translation: To synthesize proteins, the ribosome must select cognate transfer RNAs (tRNAs) based on base-pairing with the messenger RNA (mRNA) template (a process known as decoding), form a peptide bond, and then move the mRNA:tRNA assembly relative to the ribosome (a process known as translocation). Decoding and translocation require protein guanosine triphosphatases (GTPases), and, while high-resolution structures of the ribosome have greatly furthered our understanding of ribosome function, the detailed mechanism of these GTPases during the elongation cycle remains unclear. Two Research Articles now give a clearer view of these steps in bacterial protein synthesis (see the Perspective by Liljas ). Schmeing et al. (p. 688 , published online 15 October) present the crystal structure of the ribosome bound to Elongation factor-Tu (EF-Tu) and amino-acyl tRNA that gives insight into how EF-Tu contributes to accurate decoding. Gao et al. (p. 694 , published online 15 October) describe the crystal structure of the ribosome bound to Elongation factor-G (EF-G) trapped in a posttranslocation state by the antibiotic fusidic acid that gives insight into how EF-G functions in translocation.

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.
