The nucleotide residues involved in the cross-link between P site bound acetylvalyl-tRNA (AcVal-tRNA) and 16-18S rRNA have been identified. This cross-link was formed by irradiation of Escherichia coli or Bacillus subtilis AcVal-tRNA bound to the P site of E. coli ribosomes or by irradiation of E. coli AcVal-tRNA bound to the P site of yeast ribosomes. The three cross-linked RNA heterodimers were obtained in 10-35% purity by disruption of the irradiated ribosome-tRNA complex with sodium dodecyl sulfate followed by sucrose gradient centrifugation. After total digestion with RNase T1, and labeling at either the 5'- or the 3'-end, the cross-linked oligomers could be identified and isolated before and after photolytic splitting of the cross-link. One of the oligomers was shown to be UACACACCG, a unique rRNA nonamer present in an evolutionarily conserved region. This oligomer was found in all three heterodimers. The other oligomer of the dimer had the sequence expected for the RNase T1 product encompassing the anticodon of the tRNA used. The precise site of cross-linking was determined by two novel methods. Bisulfite modification of the oligonucleotide dimer converted all C residues to U, except for any cross-linked C which would be resistant by being part of a cyclobutane dimer. Sequencing gel analysis of the UACACACCG oligomer showed that the C residue protected was the 3'-penultimate C residue, C1400 in E. coli rRNA or C1626 in yeast rRNA.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
