Ribosomal 30S protein S1 causes disruption of the secondary structure of certain pyrimidine-containing polynucleotides. Helical poly(U), poly(C, U), and neutral and acidic poly(C) are stoichiometrically converted by S1 to structures indistinguishable from their partially or completely thermally denatured forms, as revealed by circular dichroism. Of the several double- and triple-stranded helical polynucleotides tested that contain one polypurine strand and at least one polypyrimidine strand, only the conformation of the DNA.RNA hybrid, poly(A)-poly(dT), is perturbed. In the presence of S1, this hybrid undergoes a transition to a new structure that has a circular dichroism spectrum unlike either the native or thermally denatured forms. Intercalated ethidium bromide is released from poly(A)-poly(dT) by S1, confirming the occurrence of a conformational rearrangement. The translation inhibitor, autintricarboxylic acid, completely inhibits the action of S1 on polypyrimidines, but has no effect on the conformational perturbation of poly(A(-poly(dT). The possible relation between these observations and the biological function of protein S1 is discussed.
