Molecular basis of mRNA delivery to the bacterial ribosome by bS1 protein and RNA polymerase


ABSTRACT: The initiation of translation begins with formation of a ribosome-mRNA complex. In bacteria, the 30S ribosomal subunit is recruited to many mRNAs through both base pairing with the Shine Dalgarno (SD) sequence and RNA-binding by ribosomal protein bS1. Translation can initiate on mRNAs that are being transcribed, and RNA polymerase (RNAP) can promote recruitment of the pioneering 30S. Here we have examined ribosome recruitment to mRNAs using cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM), single-molecule fluorescence co-localization, and whole-cell cross-linking mass spectrometry. Structures of 30S-mRNA complexes show that bS1 delivers the mRNA to the ribosome for SD duplex formation and initial 30S subunit activation. RNAP associates flexibly with the 30S platform during nascent mRNA delivery and accelerates their association in a bS1-dependent manner in vitro. Collectively, our data provide a mechanistic framework for how the SD duplex, ribosomal proteins and RNAP cooperate in 30S recruitment to mRNAs and thereby establish transcription-translation coupling.
