Fidelity of Aminoacyl-tRNA Selection on the Ribosome: Kinetic and Structural Mechanisms

Rodnina, Marina V., Wintermeyer, Wolfgang·2001·Annual Review of Biochemistry

Abstract

▪ Abstract The ribosome discriminates between correct and incorrect aminoacyl-tRNAs (aa-tRNAs), or their complexes with elongation factor Tu (EF-Tu) and GTP, according to the match between anticodon and mRNA codon in the A site. Selection takes place at two stages, prior to GTP hydrolysis (initial selection) and after GTP hydrolysis but before peptide bond formation (proofreading). In part, discrimination results from different rejection rates that are due to different stabilities of the respective codon-anticodon complexes. An important additional contribution is provided by induced fit, in that only correct codon recognition leads to acceleration of rate-limiting rearrangements that precede chemical steps. Recent elucidation of ribosome structures and mutational analyses suggest which residues of the decoding center may be involved in signaling formation of the correct codon-anticodon duplex to the functional centers of the ribosome. In utilizing induced fit for substrate discrimination, the ribosome resembles other nucleic acid–programmed polymerases.

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.
