As part of a programme to investigate the path of the nascent peptide through the large ribosomal subunit, peptides of different lengths (up to 30 amino acids), corresponding to the signal peptide sequence and N-terminal region of the Escherichia coli ompA protein, were synthesized in situ on E.coli ribosomes. The peptides each carried a diazirine moiety attached to their N-terminus which, after peptide synthesis, was photoactivated so as to induce cross-links to the 23S rRNA. The results showed that, with increasing length, the peptides became progressively cross-linked to sites in Domains V, II, III and I of the 23S rRNA, in a similar manner to that previously observed with a family of peptides derived from the tetracycline resistance gene. However, the cross-links to Domain III appeared at a shorter peptide length (12 aa) in the case of the ompA sequence, and an additional cross-link in Domain II (localized to nt 780-835) was also observed from this peptide. As with the tetracycline resistance sequence, peptides of all lengths were still able to form cross-links from their N-termini to the peptidyl transferase centre in Domain V. A further set of peptides (30 or 50 aa long), derived from mutants of the bacteriophage T4 gene 60 sequence, did not show the cross-links to Domain III, but their N-termini were nevertheless cross-linked to Domain I and to the sites in Domains II and V. The ability of relatively long peptides to fold back towards the peptidyl transferase centre thus appears to be a general phenomenon.
