核糖体rna (rrna)在核糖体蛋白的辅助下,构成核糖体的基本结构,在蛋白质合成中起着至关重要的作用。与原核核糖体相比,真核核糖体含有具有多个扩展节段的细长rnas和更多数量的核糖体蛋白。为了研究rRNAs的结构进化和功能能力,我们利用Tn5转座子系统将长度为31 nt的RNA片段系统地插入到大肠杆菌的rRNAs中。从含有随机插入的单个rRNA操纵子的质粒文库中,我们分离出带有功能插入的rRNA的存活克隆,这些功能插入可以挽救大肠杆菌菌株(Δ7rrn),其中所有染色体rRNA操纵子都被耗尽。我们鉴定了51个功能性插入位点,16个在16S rRNA上,35个在23S rRNA上,揭示了大肠杆菌rnas的结构具有很大的灵活性。大多数插入位点明显倾向于与真核rna的扩增片段重合,这表明真核rna是由原核rna经过基因插入和选择而进化而来的。
Ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs), assisted by ribosomal proteins, form the basic structure of the ribosome, and play critical roles in protein synthesis. Compared to prokaryotic ribosomes, eukaryotic ribosomes contain elongated rRNAs with several expansion segments and larger numbers of ribosomal proteins. To investigate architectural evolution and functional capability of rRNAs, we employed a Tn5 transposon system to develop a systematic genetic insertion of an RNA segment 31 nt in length into Escherichia coli rRNAs. From the plasmid library harboring a single rRNA operon containing random insertions, we isolated surviving clones bearing rRNAs with functional insertions that enabled rescue of the E. coli strain (Δ7rrn) in which all chromosomal rRNA operons were depleted. We identified 51 sites with functional insertions, 16 sites in 16S rRNA and 35 sites in 23S rRNA, revealing the architecture of E. coli rRNAs to be substantially flexible. Most of the insertion sites show clear tendency to coincide with the regions of the expansion segments found in eukaryotic rRNAs, implying that eukaryotic rRNAs evolved from prokaryotic rRNAs suffering genetic insertions and selections.
