Abstract

Puromycin inhibits the interaction of peptidyl-tRNA analogs AcPhe-tRNA Phe ox-red, AcPhe-tRNA Phe and FMet-tRNA f Met with the donor (P) site of Escherichia coli ribosomes. It affects both template-free and poly(U)-dependent systems. The inhibition is apparently due to direct competition for the P-site. On isolated 30S ribosomal subunits it was shown that the puromycin binding site is situated far from the peptidyl transferase center. Quantitative measurements of the inhibition revealed that the affinity constant of puromycin for the P-site is not less than its affinity for the A-moiety of the peptidyl transferase center [1.1 divided by 3.8) X 10(3) M-1).
