چکیده
Eight ribosomal proteins, L9, L11, L15, L17, L18, L19, L23, and L29, have been localized on the surface of the 50S subunit from Escherichia coli by immunoelectron microscopy. The specificity of the antibody binding site was demonstrated by stringent absorption experiments. For each protein, the antibody attachment site was localized on the two characteristic views of the 50S subunit. Thus, each protein could be located in a confined region on the three-dimensional structural model of the 50S subunit.

Kinetics of reaction of Escherichia coli ribosomal proteins toward N-ethylmaleimide.
The kinetics of reaction of the exposed ribosomal proteins from Escherichia coli toward N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) have been studied. While most of the proteins from the 30S subunit react rapidly with NEM and plateau levels can be reached, most of the proteins from the 50S subunit show biphasic uptake kinetics. Furthermore, differences have been observed in the reactivity of proteins toward NEM dep...
متن کاملMapping proteins of the 50S subunit from Escherichia coli ribosomes.
Mapping of protein positions in the ribosomal subunits was first achieved for the 30S subunit by means of neutron scattering about 15 years ago. Since the 50S subunit is almost twice as large as the 30S subunit and consists of more proteins, it was difficult to apply classical contrast variation techniques for the localisation of the proteins. Polarisation dependent neutron scattering (spin-con...
متن کاملInteractions between 30s ribosomal proteins and 50s subunits of Escherichia coli
The interaction between ribosomal proteins of the 30s subunit with intact 50s subunits was investigated. Experiments with mixtures of total 30s proteins indicated that several 30s proteins including protein s4 would form a stable complex with 50s subunits. Further work with pure s4 indicates that this protein binds stoichiometrically to the 50s subunits, probably through protein-nucleic acid in...
متن کاملMethylation of ribosomal proteins in Escherichia coli.
Escherichia coli was grown in a medium containing [1-(14)C]methionine and [methyl-(3)H]methionine, and the (3)H/(14)C ratio was determined for each of the ribosomal proteins derived from the 70S ribosome. Evidence indicates that six proteins from the 50S subunit were methylated: L7, L9, L11, L12, L18, and L33. Methylation of several other 50S proteins (such as L1, L3, L5, etc.) may also occur. ...
متن کاملLocalization of the puromycin binding site on the large ribosomal subunit of Escherichia coli by immunoelectron microscopy.
By using immunoelectron microscopy, we have localized the binding site on 50S Escherichia coli ribosomal subunits for puromycin, an antibiotic that interacts with the ribosomal peptidyltransferase center. This was achieved by affinity-labeling 50S subunits with N-bromoacetyl puromycin and treating the labeled subunits with an antibody specific for the N6,N6-dimethyladenosine moiety of puromycin...
