RESUMO

A consensus has been reached that the conformation of the anticodon-codon interactions of two adjacent tRNA molecules on the ribosome is a Sundaralingam-type (S-type). Even if it is kept to the S-type, there are still various possibilities. Various experimental data have been supporting an idea that the conformation of A-site tRNA is different from that of P-site tRNA. Those data as well as the recent result of Brimacombe and co-workers that U20:1 of lupin tRNAmMetbound to the A-site was cross-linked to a region, 875-905, of 23S rRNA in combination with the other recent findings of Nierhaus and co-workers about the spin-contrast method of neutron diffraction of the ribosome and the better accessible nucleotide patterns of phosphorothioated tRNAs on the ribosome have led to a new tRNA docking pair model, in which the highly conserved G18 and G19 of D-loop in A-site tRNA and C56 and C61 of TpsiC-loop in P-site tRNA base pair along with the conventional base pairs of adjacent codon-anticodon interactions. This A-P tRNA pair model can be translocated to the P-E tRNA pair model without changing the conformation except the ACCA termini, keeping the position of the growing nascent polypeptide chain.
