The recognition of a C-terminal motif in E. coli SecM (150FXXXXWIXXXXGIRAGP166) inside the ribosome tunnel causes translation arrest, but the mechanism of recognition is unknown. While single mutations in this motif impair recognition, we demonstrate that new arrest-inducing peptides can be created through remodeling of the SecM C-terminus. We found that R163 is indispensable, but that flanking residues that vary in number and position play an important secondary role in translation arrest. The observation that individual SecM variants showed a distinct pattern of crosslinking to ribosomal proteins suggests that each peptide adopts a unique conformation inside the tunnel. Based on the results, we propose that translation arrest occurs when the peptide conformation specified by flanking residues moves R163 into a precise intra-tunnel location. Our data indicate that translation arrest results from extensive communication between SecM and the tunnel and help explain the striking diversity of arrest-inducing peptides found throughout nature.
