Abstract
Ribosome frameshifting during translation of bacterial dnaX can proceed via different routes, generating a variety of distinct polypeptides. Using kinetic experiments, we show that -1 frameshifting predominantly occurs during translocation of two tRNAs bound to the slippery sequence codons. This pathway depends on a stem-loop mRNA structure downstream of the slippery sequence and operates when aminoacyl-tRNAs are abundant. However, when aminoacyl-tRNAs are in short supply, the ribosome switches to an alternative frameshifting pathway that is independent of a stem-loop. Ribosome stalling at a vacant 0-frame A-site codon results in slippage of the P-site peptidyl-tRNA, allowing for -1-frame decoding. When the -1-frame aminoacyl-tRNA is lacking, the ribosomes switch into -2 frame. Quantitative mass spectrometry shows that the -2-frame product is synthesized in vivo. We suggest that switching between frameshifting routes may enrich gene expression at conditions of aminoacyl-tRNA limitation.
