title: Crosslinking of elongation factor Tu to tRNA(Phe) by trans-diamminedichloroplatinum (II). Characterization of two crosslinking sites on EF-Tu.
abstract: In a preceding paper [(1987) Nucleic Acids Res. 15, 5787-5801], we have used trans-diamminedichloroplatinum (II) to induce reversible RNA-protein crosslinks within the ternary EF-Tu/GTP/Phe-tRNA(Phe) complex and have identified two crosslinking sites on the tRNA. The aim of the present paper is to determine the crosslinking sites on EF-Tu. Two tryptic peptides located in domain I could be identified, a major one (residues 45-74) and a minor one (residues 117-154). The use of Staphylococcus aureus V8 protease led to the isolation of two major peptides (residues 56-68 and 64-68) and one minor peptide (118-124). These results are discussed in the light of the current knowledge of the topography of the EF-Tu/tRNA complex.
