ABSTRACT The MnmE-MnmG complex is involved in tRNA modification. We have determined the crystal structure of Escherichia coli MnmG at 2.4-Å resolution, mutated highly conserved residues with putative roles in flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) or tRNA binding and MnmE interaction, and analyzed the effects of these mutations in vivo and in vitro. Limited trypsinolysis of MnmG suggests significant conformational changes upon FAD binding.

ABSTRACT Proteins whose synthesis is enhanced by polyamines at the level of translation were identified with a polyamine-requiring mutant cultured in the presence of 0.1% glucose and 0.02% glutamate at 42°C. Polyamines had a greater effect on cell growth at 42°C than at 37°C. At 42°C, the synthesis of RpoE (σ24) and StpA, which are involved in the transcription of a number of heat shock response genes, was stimulated by polyamines at the level of translation. In the rpoE and stpA mRNAs, a Shine-Dalgarno (SD) sequence is located at 13 and 12 nucleotides, respectively, upstream of the initiation codon AUG. When the SD sequences were moved to the more common position 7 nucleotides upstream of the initiation codon AUG, the degree of polyamine stimulation was reduced, although the level of RpoE and StpA synthesis was markedly increased. The mechanism underlying polyamine stimulation of RpoE synthesis was then studied. Polyamine stimulation of RpoE synthesis was reduced by changing the bulged-out structure in the initiation site of rpoE mRNA, although the level of RpoE synthesis increased. A selective structural change of this bulged-out region induced by spermidine at 42°C was observed by circular dichroism. Polyamine stimulation of fMet-tRNA binding to ribosomes at 42°C also disappeared by changing the bulged-out structure in the initiation site of rpoE mRNA. The results suggest that polyamines enhance the synthesis of RpoE by changing the bulged-out structure in the initiation site of rpoE mRNA.
