(A) Toeprint analysis of tylosin-induced ribosome stalling during translation of the leader peptide using WT and AYA mutant templates. The toeprint (TP) identified with the WT template in the presence of tylosin (+) is marked. Sequencing lanes (A, C, G, and U) are shown. The PURExpress kit containing T7 RNAP and E. coli ribosomes was used for this analysis. (B) yxjB leader region covered by the ribosome when tylosin induces stalling. The positions of the toeprint and the ribosome peptidyl (P) and aminoacyl (A) sites are shown. Additional details are as described in the Fig. 2A legend.

(B) Alignment of G1 domains of B. subtilis IF2 and EF-G. Residues in blue denote those whose chemical shifts were previously identified to be most shifted upon binding of ppGpp versus GDP. Residues in red are those that were different in EF-G versus IF2 and that were used to engineer a mutant IF2 with reduced affinity for ppGpp (G226A H230A). (C) DRaCALA-based comparison of ppGpp affinity for WT and mutant IF2 (means ± SDs). (D) in vitro sensitivity of WT and mutant IF2 was assessed using the PURExpress in vitro reconstituted, coupled transcription-translation system (NEB).

Figure Legend Snippet: Characterization of PURExpress®–QD conjugates. (A) Chemical structure of the CL4 ligand used to make the QDs colloidally stable in aqueous shown in the open dithiol configuration. (B) Agarose gel electrophoretic mobility shift assay of 523 nm emitting CdSe/CdS/ZnS core/shell/shell QDs incubated without and with a series of decreasing concentrations of the PURExpress® protein solution. Less mobility is correlated with binding to enzyme and the magnitude of this is decreased as the protein solution is serially diluted. The dashed white line indicates the location of sample wells in the gel. (C) Left—High-resolution TEM micrograph of the 523 nm emitting CdSe/CdS/ZnS core/shell/shell QDs with an average diameter of 4.1 ± 0.5 nm. A single QD is circled in red for visualization. Right—High-resolution TEM micrograph of the 625 nm emitting CdSe/ZnS core/shell QDs utilized for nanoaggregation studies due to their larger size and higher electron density which makes for easier imaging. (D) TEM micrographs of the PURExpress® protein solution (i), 625 QDs in buffer (ii), and 625 QD mixed with 0.5× PURExpress® solution at two different magnifications (iii, iv). Only when the QDs are mixed with the PURExpress® solution is clustering seen. The grey shading around the QD clusters in (iii, iv) are believed to be the PURExpress® enzymes.
