Abstract
Eukaryotic ribosomal proteins constituting the binding site for the initiator codon AUG on the ribosome at the translation initiation step were investigated by UV-induced cross-linking between protein and mRNA. The 80S-initiation complex was formed in a rabbit reticulocyte cell-free system in the presence of sparsomycin with radiolabeled Omega-fragment as a template, which was a 73-base 5'-leader sequence of tobacco mosaic virus RNA having AUG at the extreme 3'-terminal end and extended with 32pCp. Two radioactive peaks were sedimented by sucrose gradient centrifugation, one being the 80S initiation complex formed at the 3'-terminal AUG codon, and the other presumably a "disome" with an additional 80S ribosome bound at an upstream AUU codon, formed when Omega-fragment was incubated with sparsomycin [Filipowicz and Henni (1979) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 76, 3111-3115]. Cross-links between ribosomal proteins and the radiolabeled Omega-fragment were induced in situ by UV-irradiation at 254 nm. After extensive nuclease digestion of the complexes, ribosomal proteins were separated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Autoradiography identified the proteins S7, S10, S25, S29, and L5 of the 80S initiation complex and S7, S25, S29 and L5 of that in the disome as 32P-labeled proteins. Together with the results of cross-linking experiments of other investigators and recently solved crystal structures of prokaryotic ribosomes, the spatial arrangement of eukaryotic ribosomal proteins at the AUG-binding domain is discussed.

Abstract
Two model mRNAs, one with and one without the Shine-Dalgarno (SD) sequence, were bound to Escherichia coli 30S ribosomal subunits in the presence and absence of initiation factors and initiator tRNA and then cross-linked by diepoxybutane. The distribution of the cross-linked mRNA among rRNA and ribosomal proteins (r-proteins) and the extent to which individual r-proteins react was found to be affected by the presence or absence of the SD sequence and by the initiation factors and initiator tRNA. The results are consistent with the hypothesis that the position of the 30S-bound mRNA is shifted under the influence of the initiation factors and fMet-tRNA from a stand-by position towards a second site where the decoding of the initiation triplet by the initiator tRNA occurs.

Abstract
Using derivatives of oligoribonucleotides bearing an active group at the 5'- or 3'-end, the affinity modification of Escherichia coli ribosomes has been investigated in model complexes imitating various steps of initiation and elongation with a different extent of approximation to the real protein-synthesizing system. The protein environment of the ribosome decoding site is determined. The S3, S4, S9, L2, L7/L12 proteins belong to the 5'-region of the decoding site, and the S5, S7, S9, L1, L16 proteins to the 3'-region. In the process of translation the template moves along the external side of the 30 S subunit, from the L1 ridge to the L7/L12 stalk. The structural arrangement of the decoding site or its nearest environment depends on the functional state of ribosomes in the process of translation.

Abstract
Affinity labelling of E. coli ribosomes with the 2',3'-O-[4-(N-2-chloroethyl)-N-methylamino]benzylidene derivative of AUGU6 was studied within the initiation complex (complex I) obtained by using fMet-tRNAMetf and initiation factors and within the pretranslocational complex (complex II) obtained by treatment of complex I with the ternary complex Phe-tRNAPhe.GTP.EF-Tu. Both proteins and rRNA of 30 S as well as 50 S subunits were found to be labelled. Sets of proteins labelled within complexes I and II differ considerably. Within complex II, proteins S13 and L10 were labelled preferentially. On the other hand, within complex I, multiple modification is observed (proteins S4, S12, S13, S14, S15, S18, S19, S20/L26 were found to be alkylated) despite the single fixation of a template in the ribosome by interaction of the AUG codon with fMet-tRNAMetf.

Abstract
Heptauridylate bearing a radioactive alkylating [14C]-4-(N-2-chloroethyl-N-methylamino)benzylamine attached to the 5'-phosphate via amide bond, was bound to ribosomes and small ribosomal subunits from rat liver which thereby were coded to bind N-acylated Phe tRNA. After completion of the alkylating reaction and subsequent hydrolysis of the phosphamide bond ribosomal proteins were isolated. Radioactivity was found covalently associated preferentially with protein S26 and, to a very small extent, with proteins S3 and S3a. The affinity labelling reaction could be abolished by (pU)14 and poly(U). From the results it is concluded that ribosomal protein S26 is located at the mRNA binding site of rat liver ribosomes.

Abstract
Ultraviolet irradiation (254 nm) of the complexes of MS2 phage RNA (mRNA) and the 30-S subunits of Escherichia coli ribosomes prepared at 0 degrees C and 37 degrees C in the presence and absence of initiation factor 3 (IF-3) causes cross-linking of mRNA with proteins S3, S4, S5, S7, S9, S18 and IF-3. Hence, these proteins interact directly with mRNA within the complex 30-S-subunit . mRNA. Addition of IF-3 results in an increase of the rate of complex formation and decrease of its dissociation rate. The addition of IF-3 changes the relative amounts of cross-linked proteins (mainly S3, S4 and S18). Decreasing the temperature from 37 degrees C to 0 degrees C not only decelerates the complex formation rate but also changes the relative amount of cross-linked proteins, indicating the influence of the conditions on the structure of the complex.

Abstract
The photoincorporation of p-azido[3H]puromycin [6-(dimethylamino)-9-[3'-deoxy-3'-[(p-azido-L-phenylalanyl)amino]-beta-D-ribofuranosyl]purine] into specific ribosomal proteins and ribosomal RNA [Nicholson, A. W., Hall, C. C., Strycharz, W. A., & Cooperman, B. S. (1982) Biochemistry (preceding paper in this issue)] is decreased in the presence of puromycin, thus demonstrating that labeling is site specific. The magnitudes of the decreases in incorporation into the major labeled 50S proteins found on addition of different potential ribosome ligands parallel the abilities of these same ligands to inhibit peptidyltransferase. This result provides evidence that p-azidopuromycin photoincorporation into these proteins occurs at the peptidyltransferase center of the 50S subunit, a conclusion supported by other studies of ribosome structure and function. A striking new finding of this work is that puromycin aminonucleoside is a competitive inhibitor of puromycin in peptidyltransferase. The photoincorporation of p-azidopuromycin is accompanied by loss of ribosomal function, but photoincorporated p-azidopuromycin is not a competent peptidyl acceptor. The significance of these results is discussed. Photolabeling of 30S proteins by p-azidopuromycin apparently takes place from sites of lower puromycin affinity than that of the 50S site. The possible relationship of the major proteins labeled, S18, S7, and S14, to tRNA binding is considered.

Abstract
Polyadenylic acid, polycytidylic acid, polyuridylic acid or phage MS2 RNA, immobilized on Sepharose, form a complex with Escherichia coli ribosomal proteins. Regardless of their particular nucleotide composition, all four polynucleotides bind an invariable set of proteins consisting of S1, S3, S4, S5, S9, S13, L2 and L17. We found that these polynucleotide . protein complexes bind tRNA. Furthermore, it was possible to show that the poly(A) . protein and poly(U) . protein complexes select efficiently their cognate tRNAs, tRNALys and tRNAPhe respectively. This important functional property of the polynucleotide . protein complexes suggests that these ribosomal proteins belong in the ribosome to a functional domain responsible for the decoding of mRNA.

Abstract
Oligonucleotides such as G-A-G-G, which are complementary to the C-U-C-C region at the 3' end of 16-S RNA, inhibit the R17-RNA-dependent binding of the initiator tRNA (fMet-rRNA) to 30-S ribosomal subunits. However, if phage RNA is replaced by A-U-G, the same oligonucleotides stimulate the binding of fMet-tRNA to the 30-S subunits. This indicates that the formation of the RNA x RNA hybrid acts as a positive control signal for the selection of the initiator tRNA by the 30-S-subunit x mRNA complex. Tetranucleotides of the type A-U-G-N (where N = A, G, C or U) stimulated the IF-2-dependent binding of fMet-tRNA to the 30-S subunit more effectively than A-U-G, with A-U-G-R better than A-U-G-Y (where R is a purine nucleoside and Y is a pyrimidine nucleoside). Since the 3'-terminal adenosine in A-U-G-A can be replaced by 6-deamino-adenosine, a stacking type of interaction between U-33 of tRNA and N of A-U-G-N should additionally stabilize the codon-anticodon complex. The situation is strictly reversed for 70-S ribosomes where A-U-G is the best codon followed by A-U-G-U, A-U-G-C, A-U-G-G and A-U-G-A. Replacement of GTP by guanosine 5'-[beta, gamma-methylene]triphosphate (GuoPP[CH2]P] results in A-U-G-A becoming more efficient than A-U-G as the codon for the binding of fMet-tRNA to 70-S ribosomes. This indicates that IF-2 and GTP hold the anticodon of the fMet-tRNA in a conformation capable of binding to a tetranucleotide codon. GTP hydrolysis and release of IF-2 from the 70-S ribosome results in a change of the tertiary structure of fMet-tRNA as a consequence of which the initiator tRNA reassumes the conformation which preferentially binds to A-U-G.
