Binding of the 50S ribosomal subunit to the 30S initiation complex and the subsequent transition from the initiation to the elongation phase up to the synthesis of the first peptide bond represent crucial steps in the translation pathway. The reactions

Translocation requires large-scale movements of ribosome-bound tRNAs. Using tRNAs that are proflavin labeled and single-turnover rapid kinetics assays, we identify one or possibly two kinetically competent intermediates in translocation. EF-G.GTP binding to the pretranslocation (PRE) complex and GTP hydrolysis are

Messenger-RNA-directed protein synthesis is accomplished by the ribosome. In eubacteria, this complex process is initiated by a specialized transfer RNA charged with formylmethionine (tRNA(fMet)). The amino-terminal formylated methionine of all bacterial nascent polypeptides blocks the reactive amino group to prevent

The interaction between fMet-tRNA(f)(Met) and Bacillus stearothermophilus translation initiation factor IF2 has been characterized. We demonstrate that essentially all thermodynamic determinants governing the stability and the specificity of this interaction are localized within the acceptor hexanucleotide fMet-3'ACCAAC of the initiator

N-Formylated (N-f-met) peptides derived from proteins of the intracellular bacterium Listeria monocytogenes generate a protective, H2-M3-restricted CD8 T cell response in C57BL/6 mice. N-f-met peptide-specific CTL were generated in vitro when mice previously immunized with gp96 isolated from donor mice
