L44e interacts with the E-site-bound minihelix. (A) The final 2 nt of the minihelix insert through the loop extension of L44e. (B) L44e undergoes a conformational change upon E site tRNA binding, from the conformation seen in yellow to that in green. Proline 56 is shown in both panels A and B to show relative orientation.
