Introduction to Ribosome • Ribosome contains one mRNA and two tRNA binding sites • It contains two subunits 50S and 30S
Structure of Ribosome Molecular biology of the cell. P.232
Schematic localization of L9 protein on the 50S ribosomal subunit J.B.C. (1991) 266. .33. 22129-22135.
Why Protein L9? • L9 forms an interesting bilobal structure with a compact N-terminal domain connected by a long solvent-exposed α-helix to a compact C-terminal domain. • Protein L9 does not appear to participate in subunit interaction nor in peptidyltransferase activity. • L9 is one of the simplest examples of sheet-helix structures. • Lack disulfide bond and no cofactors

CD standard curve α: αhelix β : β sheet Rc : random coil
Far-UV CD spectra of α-1 □ : 75μM ● : 500 μM • Below 100μM random coil • 100-545 μM not random coil, (self-assocites)
NMR spectrum of β-2 DQF-COSY spectrum ROESY spectrum • The β-1, β-2, β-3 peptide are unstructure in solution.
Summary of NMR data CSI : +1 (βsheet) 0 (no structure) –1 (α-helix) 3JHNCα:● : below 6 HZ (α-helix) ○ : above 8 HZ(β-sheet) - : not measure : 6-8 HZ(random coli)
The α-2 Peptide NMR SpectrumPH 5.4 , 4℃ DQF-COSY spectrum NOESY spectrum • Get 9 amino acid and 2 of 5 are too close to the diagonal. • Provide more direct evidence for the helix formation.
A native N-capping interaction stabilizes the helical structure • α-2 : 40-56 (53% helix) PH 5.4 4℃ • α-2B: 41-56 (32% helix )
Conclusion • The pH and ionic strength dependence of the helical content of α-2. • The change in θ222 from 0.4M to 1.6M NaCl is less than 3%. • The change in θ222 in PH 11 is less than 10%. • The change in θ222 in PH 2 is more than 10%, corresponding to an apparent increase in helicity. • Thr40 acts as an N-capping residue and its side-chain forms a H-bond with the amide proton of residue 43. • The peptides β-3 and α-2 provide a model of cis-trans proline isomerism in the unfolded state. • Trans CαThr40– Cδ Pro41 (native state) • Cis CαThr40– Cα Pro41
