Yeast andE.colitRNAphesamples were oxidized and labeled at the 3′ end with dansy1 hydrazine or fluorescein thiosemicarbazide. These tRNAs can bind to poly(U)-programmedE.coli70S tight couple ribosomes in 25 mM magnesium at 8°C. Two binding sites with binding constants of about 1 × 10°9 M−1 (P) and 3×107M−1(A) were determined for the yeast tRNAphederivatives, WithE.colitRNAphethe A site affinity is similar to yeast tRNAphebut the P site affinity is 5-fold weaker. Singlet-singlet energy transfer showed that the distance from the 3′ end of tRNAphein the P site to a fluorescein derivative of erythromycin is 23 Å. This supportsinvitrostudies suggesting that erythromycin binds near the peptide moiety of peptidyl tRNA. A distance of 34 Å between the 3′ ends of 2 tRNAs bound simultaneously on the ribosome was also measured. This long distance may mean that the deacylated fluorescent tRNA binds to the A site in an orientation like that in the stringent response rather than in protein synthesis.
