The ribosomal protein S15 from Escherichia coli binds to a pseudoknot in its own messenger. This interaction is an essential step in the mechanism of S15 translational autoregulation. In a previous study, a recognition determinant for S15 autoregulation, involving a U.G wobble pair, was located in the center of stem I of the pseudoknot. In this study, an extensive mutagenesis analysis has been conducted in and around this U.G pair by comparing the effects of these mutations on the expression level of S15. The results show that the U.G wobble pair cannot be substituted by A.G, C.A, A.C, G.U, or C.G without loss of the autocontrol. In addition, the base pair C.G, adjacent to the 5' side of U, cannot be flipped or changed to another complementary base pair without also inducing derepression of translation. A unique motif, made of only two adjacent base pairs, U.G/C.G, is essential for S15 autoregulation and is presumably involved in direct recognition by the S15 protein.
