The translocatlon reaction catalyzed by elongation factor G (EF-G) is inhibited either by α-sarcin cleavage of 23S rRNA or by the binding of thiostrepton to theE. coliribosome. Here we show that the transitory binding of EF-G and GDP to the ribosome inhibited the rate of α-sarcin cleavage and that stabilization of this binding with fusidic acid completely prevented α-sarcin cleavage. A similar pattern of inhibition was seen upon the binding of elongation factor 2 to theS. cerevisiaeribosome. The irreversible binding of the antibiotic thiostrepton to theE. coliribosome, on the other hand, decreased the rate of cleavage by α-sarcin approximately 2-fold. These results suggest that the α-sarcin site is located within the ribosomal domain for EF-G binding and that the conformation of this site is affected by the binding of thiostrepton.
