The ribosome is a large ribonucleoprotein assembly that uses diverse and complex molecular interactions to maintain proper folding. In vivo assembled ribosomes have been isolated using MS2 tags installed in either the 16S or 23S ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs), to enable studies of ribosome structure and function in vitro. RNA tags in the 50S subunit have commonly been inserted into an extended helix H98 in 23S rRNA, as this addition does not affect cellular growth or in vitro ribosome activity. Here, we find that 50S subunits with MS2 tags inserted in H98 are destabilized compared to wild-type (WT) 50S subunits. We identify the loss of RNA-RNA tertiary contacts that bridge helices H1, H94, and H98 as the cause of destabilization. Using cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM), we show that this interaction is disrupted by the addition of the MS2 tag and can be restored through the insertion of a single adenosine in the extended H98 helix. This work establishes ways to improve MS2 tags in the 50S subunit that maintain ribosome stability and investigates a complex RNA tertiary structure that may be important for stability in various bacterial ribosomes.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on how peptides interact with nitrile-imine intermediates using two types of scaffolds called 1,2--peptides and 1,4--peptides, examining their cross-linking behaviors under different conditions.
- Nitrile-imine intermediates are created through specific UV and collision-induced methods, with cross-linking yield results varying significantly based on the peptide sequences studied.
- Advanced techniques, including high-resolution ion mobility and molecular dynamics simulations, were employed to analyze the structures of these conjugates and their cross-linking mechanisms, revealing the role of carboxyl and guanidine groups in the process.

Multiplex proteomics using isobaric labeling tags has emerged as a powerful tool for the simultaneous relative quantification of peptides and proteins across multiple experimental conditions. However, the quantitative accuracy of the approach is largely compromised by ion interference, a phenomenon that causes fold changes to appear compressed. The degree of compression is generally unknown, and the contributing factors are poorly understood.

Mass spectrometry-based chemoproteomics has emerged as an enabling technology for functional biology and drug discovery. To address limitations of established chemoproteomics workflows, including cumbersome reagent synthesis and low throughput sample preparation, here, we established the silane-based cleavable isotopically labeled proteomics (sCIP) method. The sCIP method is enabled by a high yielding and scalable route to dialkoxydiphenylsilane fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl (DADPS-Fmoc)-protected amino acid building blocks, which enable the facile synthesis of customizable, isotopically labeled, and chemically cleavable biotin capture reagents.
