This three-years project will focus on the setup of two experimental platforms (E. Coli as well as yeast ribosome) and single-molecule analysis of the effect of -1 programmed ribosomal frameshifting (-1 PRF) on the translocation and mRNA unwinding activity of the ribosome. The subproject 1 will apply biochemical approach to construct model system containing the -1 PRF module suitable for optical tweezer-based and FRET-based single molecule analysis, and the study of related biochemical property. In addition, a procedure to purify the ribosome from prokaryotic system will be developed to speed up its application in single-molecule study, and be used as the framework to purify yeast ribosome for single-molecule analysis。The subproject 2 will use optical tweezer to investigate the potential correlation between the mechanical stability of different -1 PRF RNA stimulators and their frameshifting efficiencies. Furthermore, the effect of -1 PRF module on the translocation activity of the ribosome will also be tracked by an established optical tweezer approach. At the same time, single-molecule FRET approach will also be applied to observe the dynamic property of the mRNA unwinding activity of the ribosome in the presence of a -1 PRF module. Together, these two complementary approaches will help revealing the mechanism of -1 PRF as well as the dynamic properties of the translocation and unwinding activity of the ribosome.蛋白質轉譯作用核醣體讀取軌道移轉與解旋功能-1轉譯框架移轉單分子分析技術光鉗單分子螢光探針系統protein translationribosometranslocation and mRNA unwinding-1 ribosomal frameshiftingoptical tweezersingle-molecule FRET核醣體轉譯位移與讀取軌道定位之生化與單分子分析-核醣體轉譯位移與讀取軌道定位之單子分析(子計畫二)(1/2)
