Abstract

A positive correlation between poly(U) misreading and efficiency of poly(dT) translation has been revealed in cell-free systems from wild-type E coli and streptomycin--resistant mutants with altered ribosomal protein S12. Different factors promoting misreading of poly(U) such as aminoglycoside antibiotics and Mg2+ ions also stimulate poly(dT) translation. The effect of the antibiotics on poly(U) translation efficiency and misreading as well as on poly(dT) decoding is characterised by the same order: neomycin greater than kanamycin greater than streptomycin. S12 mutants ribosomes are less erroneous in poly(U) translation and less efficient in poly(dT) decoding. The data obtained are in good agreement with the hypothesis of stereospecific stabilization of codon-anticodon complexes by the ribosome decoding centre.
