A three-dimensional model of domain III of the Escherichia coli small ribosomal subunit.
A three-dimensional model of domain III (nucleotides 920 to 1395) of the 30S ribosomal subunit of E. coli is proposed. The data used as a guide in folding the secondary structure of the RNA into a tertiary structure are four long range RNA-RNA interactions proposed by us on the basis of experiments performed in this laboratory plus two sets of data from other laboratories: protein-RNA cross-linking sites for proteins S1, S3, S7, S10 and S12, and the interprotein distances determined by neutron scattering. The model is consistent with nearly all of the published experimental findings on the structure of domain III.
