large ribosomal subunit rRNA binding

Definition

Target type: molecularfunction

Binding to large ribosomal subunit RNA (LSU rRNA), a constituent of the large ribosomal subunit. In S. cerevisiae, this is the 25S rRNA. [GOC:elh]

Large ribosomal subunit rRNA binding is a crucial molecular function that plays a central role in protein synthesis. Ribosomes, the protein synthesis machinery of cells, are composed of two subunits: a small subunit (SSU) and a large subunit (LSU). The LSU is responsible for catalyzing peptide bond formation, a critical step in protein elongation. This catalytic activity is facilitated by the presence of ribosomal RNA (rRNA), a highly conserved and essential component of the LSU. rRNA molecules within the LSU exhibit complex structures that are responsible for binding to various components involved in protein synthesis, including messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), and ribosomal proteins.

The large ribosomal subunit rRNA binding function encompasses the interactions between the LSU rRNA and these components. These interactions are essential for proper ribosome assembly, mRNA and tRNA binding, and the accurate positioning of the tRNA molecules within the ribosome's active site. The rRNA within the LSU provides a framework for the correct positioning of the A, P, and E sites, which are crucial for tRNA binding and peptide bond formation.

Specifically, the large ribosomal subunit rRNA interacts with the following components:

- **mRNA:** The rRNA within the LSU helps to position and stabilize mRNA on the ribosome, ensuring that the correct codons are aligned with the tRNA anticodons. This interaction is critical for accurate translation.

- **tRNA:** The rRNA within the LSU provides binding sites for both the A and P sites, facilitating the interaction of tRNA molecules with the mRNA and the ribosome. This interaction allows for the delivery of amino acids to the ribosome and the formation of peptide bonds.

- **Ribosomal proteins:** The rRNA within the LSU interacts with a variety of ribosomal proteins, which contribute to the overall structure and function of the LSU. These interactions are essential for maintaining the integrity of the ribosome and its catalytic activity.

In summary, the large ribosomal subunit rRNA binding function is fundamental to protein synthesis. It ensures the proper assembly of the LSU, the accurate positioning of mRNA and tRNA molecules within the ribosome, and the efficient catalysis of peptide bond formation. This process is critical for the production of all proteins essential for cellular function and organismal survival.'
