Escherichia coli ribosomes translate in vivo with variable rate.

Escherichia coli Ribosomes

Erythromycin binding to Escherichia coli ribosomes required K+ and Mg2+. Under optimal conditions, the dissociation constant for erythromycin binding to E. coli ribosomes was found to be 1.0 x 108M and 1.4 x 108M at 24 C and 5 C, respectively. One molecule of [I4C Jerythromycin was bound to each 70S ribosome at equilibrium. Binding of erythromycin to ribosomes was rapid and reversible. The spec...

Crystallization of Escherichia coli ribosomes.

The knowledge of the structure of the ribosome is an essential requirement to reveal its role at the molecular level in the process of protein biosynthesis. This information is being obtained by a battery of chemical, physical, immunological and genetic methods (for reviews see [1]). Important methods for the study of the three-dimensional structure of the ribosomes are X-ray crystallography an...

Ribonuclease sensitivity of Escherichia coli ribosomes.

Santer, Melvin (Haverford College, Haverford, Pa.), and Josephine R. Smith. Ribonuclease sensitivity of Escherichia coli ribosomes. J. Bacteriol. 92:1099-1110. 1966.-The ribonucleic acid (RNA) contained in 70S ribosomes and in 50S and 30S subunits was hydrolyzed by pancreatic ribonuclease. A 7% amount of the RNA was removed from the 70S particle; at 10(-4)m magnesium concentration, a maximum of...
