Distances were measured by nonradiative energy transfer from fluorescent probes specifically located on one of three points of yeast or Escherichia coli Phe-tRNAPhe enzymatically bound to the entry site or to the acceptor site of E. coli 70S ribosomes to energy-accepting probes on the 3' end of the 16S ribonucleic acid (RNA) of the 30S subunit. The Y base in the anticodon loop of yeast tRNAPhe was replaced by proflavin. Fluorescein isothiocyanate was attached to the X base (position 47) of E. coli tRNAPhe. E. coli tRNAPhe which had been photochemically cross-linked between positions 8 and 13 followed by chemical reduction to form a fluorescent probe was also used. Labeled tRNAs were aminoacylated and enzymatically bound to the ribosome in the presence of elongation factor Tu and guanosine 5'-triphosphate (acceptor-site binding) or a nonhydrolyzable analogue (entry-site binding). Nonradiative energy transfer measurements were made of the distances between fluorophores located on the Phe-tRNA and the fluorophore at the 3' end of 16S RNA. Calculations were based on comparison of the fluorescence lifetime of the energy donor, located on the Phe-tRNA, in the absence and presence of an energy acceptor on the 3' end of the 16S RNA. Under both sets of binding conditions, the distances to the 3' end of 16S RNA were found to be the following: cross-linked tRNA, greater than 69 A; Y base of tRNA, greater than 61 A. The distance between the 3' end of 16S RNA and the X base of tRNA was found to be 81 A under acceptor-site binding conditions but greater than 86 A under entry-site binding conditions.
