title: [The effect of mutations in ribosomal proteins S4, S12 and L7/L12 on EF-Tu-dependent expenditure of GTP in the process of codon-specific elongation and misreading of poly(U)].
abstract: The effect of mutations in ribosomal proteins S4 (rpsD12), S12 (rpsL282) and L7/L12 (rplL265) of Escherichia coli K12 on the EF-Tu-dependent expenditure of GTP during codon-specific elongation (poly(Phe) synthesis on poly(U] and misreading (poly(Leu) synthesis on poly(U], was studied. Under the conditions used the mutations in proteins S4 and L7/L12 did not practically affect the EF-Tu-dependent expenditure of GTR during the poly(Phe) synthesis on poly(U): the GTP/Phe ratio was about 1, as in the case of the wild strain. Under the same conditions, the ribosomes with a mutant S12 protein tended to discard some amount of Phe-tRNA, as a result of which the GTP/Phe ratio increased to about 3. The marked inhibition of misreading by ribosomes with a mutant S12 protein was accompanied by a significant increase of GTP expenditure at the stage of EF-Tu-dependent non-cognate aminoacyl-tRNA binding. In mutant S 12 proteins the GTP/Leu ratio was about 30-40, whereas in the wild type it was about 12. In contrast, stimulation of misreading by ribosomes with mutant S4 and L7/L12 proteins was accompanied by a decrease of the EF-Tu-dependent expenditure of GTP by 2-3 GTP molecules per one Leu residue included into the peptide.
