Purification, cloning, and properties of the 16S RNA pseudouridine 516 synthase from Escherichia coli.
Wrzesinski J., Bakin A., Nurse K., Lane B.G., Ofengand J.
Pseudouridine (psi) is commonly found in both small and large subunit ribosomal RNAs of prokaryotes and eukaryotes. In Escherichia coli small subunit RNA, there is only one psi, at position 516, in a region of the RNA known to be involved in codon recognition [Bakin et al. (1994) Nucleic Acids Res ... >> More
Pseudouridine (psi) is commonly found in both small and large subunit ribosomal RNAs of prokaryotes and eukaryotes. In Escherichia coli small subunit RNA, there is only one psi, at position 516, in a region of the RNA known to be involved in codon recognition [Bakin et al. (1994) Nucleic Acids Res. 22, 3681-3684]. To assess the function of this single psi residue, the enzyme catalyzing its formation was purified and cloned. The enzyme contains 231 amino acids and has a calculated molecular mass of 25,836 Da. It converts U516 in E. coli 16S RNA transcripts into psi but does not modify any other position in this RNA. It does not react with free unmodified 16S RNA at all, and only poorly with 30S particles containing unmodified RNA. The preferred substrate is an RNA fragment from residues 1 to 678 which has been complexed with 30S ribosomal proteins. The yield varied from 0.6 to 1.0 mol of psi/mol of RNA, depending on the preparation. Free RNA(1-678) was inactive, as was RNA(1-526) and the RNP particle made from it. 23S RNA and tRNAVal transcripts were also inactive. These results suggest that psi formation in vivo occurs at an intermediate stage of 30S assembly. The gene is located at 47.1 min immediately 5' to, and oriented in the same direction as, the bicyclomycin resistance gene. The gene was cloned behind a (His)6 leader for affinity purification. Virtually all of the overexpressed protein was found in inclusion bodies but could be purified to homogeneity on a Ni2+(-) containing resin. Over 200 mg of pure protein could be obtained from a liter of cell culture. Amino acid sequence comparison revealed the existence of a gene in Bacillus subtilis with a similar sequence, and psi sequence analysis established that B. subtilis has the equivalent of psi 516 in its small subunit rRNA. On the other hand, no common sequence motifs could be detected among this enzyme and the two tRNA psi synthases which have been cloned up to now. << Less

16S ribosomal RNA pseudouridine synthase RsuA of Escherichia coli: deletion, mutation of the conserved Asp102 residue, and sequence comparison among all other pseudouridine synthases.
Conrad J., Niu L., Rudd K., Lane B.G., Ofengand J.
The gene for RsuA, the pseudouridine synthase that converts U516 to pseudouridine in 16S ribosomal RNA of Escherichia coli, has been deleted in strains MG1655 and BL21/DE3.

The gene for RsuA, the pseudouridine synthase that converts U516 to pseudouridine in 16S ribosomal RNA of Escherichia coli, has been deleted in strains MG1655 and BL21/DE3. Deletion of this gene resulted in the specific loss of pseudouridine516 in both cell lines, and replacement of the gene in trans on a plasmid restored the pseudouridine. Therefore, rsuA is the only gene in E. coli with the ability to produce a protein capable of forming pseudouridine516. There was no effect on the growth rate of rsuA-MG1655 either in rich or minimal medium at either 24, 37, or 42 degrees C. Plasmid rescue of the BL21/DE3 rsuA-strain using pET15b containing an rsuA gene with aspartate102 replaced by asparagine or threonine demonstrated that neither mutant was active in vivo. This result supports a role for this aspartate, located in a unique GRLD sequence in this gene, at the catalytic center of the synthase. Induction of wild-type and the two mutant synthases in strain BL21/DE3 from genes in pET15b yielded a strong overexpression of all three proteins in approximately equal amounts showing that the mutations did not affect production of the protein in vivo and thus that the lack of activity was not due to a failure to produce a gene product. Aspartate102 is found in a conserved motif present in many pseudouridine synthases. The conservation and distribution of this motif in nature was assessed. << Less
