Journal ArticleDOI

Crystal structure of the ribosome at 5.5 A resolution

TL;DR: The crystal structure of the complete Thermus thermophilus 70S ribosome containing bound messenger RNA and transfer RNAs (tRNAs) at 5.5 angstrom resolution is described, suggesting coupling of the 20 to 50 angstrom movements associated with tRNA translocation with intersubunit movement.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structures of the bacterial ribosome at 3.5 Å resolution

TL;DR: Swiveling of the head of the small subunit observed in the present structures, coupled to the ratchet-like motion of the two subunits observed previously, suggests a mechanism for the final movements of messenger RNA and transfer RNAs during translocation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Two distinct RNase activities of CRISPR-C2c2 enable guide-RNA processing and RNA detection

TL;DR: It is shown that bacterial C2c2 possesses a unique RNase activity responsible for CRISPR RNA maturation that is distinct from its RNA-activated single-stranded RNA degradation activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Path of Messenger RNA through the Ribosome

TL;DR: Using X-ray crystallography, this work directly observed the path of mRNA in the 70S ribosome in Fourier difference maps at 7 A resolution, finding that at the interface, only about eight nucleotides are exposed, and bond almost exclusively to 16S rRNA.
