Isolation of 30S and 50S active ribosomal subunits of Bacillus subtilis, Marburg strain.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Active 30S and 50S ribosomal subunits were isolated from Bacillus subtilis. These subunits were able to perform not only protein synthesis in the presence of artificial or natural messenger ribonucleic acid but also the specific functions characteristic of each of the subunits. Thus the 30S subunits alone are able to bind formyl-methionyl-transfer ribonucleic acid, and the 50S subunits carry the peptidyl transferase activity.

Delayed hypersensitivity reactions provoked by ribosomes from acid-fast bacilli. I. Ribosomal isolation, characterization, delayed hypersensitivity, and specificity.
Ribosomes and ribosomal subunits of Mycobacterium bovis (strain BCG) and M. smegmatis have been isolated and employed as skin test antigens in guinea pigs sensitized with homologous or heterologous organisms. Ribosomes and ribosomal subunits were found to be potent antigens for skin test purposes, and the 30S subunits were found to be more specific and active than the 50S subunits.
متن کاملThe GTP-binding protein YqeH participates in biogenesis of the 30S ribosome subunit in Bacillus subtilis.
Bacterial genome sequencing has revealed a novel family of P-loop GTPases that are often essential for growth. Accumulating evidence suggests that these proteins are involved in biogenesis of the 30S or 50S ribosomal subunits. YqeH is a member of this Obg/Era GTPase family, with its function remains to be uncovered. Here, we present results showing that YqeH is involved in the 30S subunit bioge...
متن کاملEffect of sulfhydryl reagents on the ribosomes of Bacillus subtilis.
The effect of various sulfhydryl reagents on the ribosomes of Bacillus subtilis was studied. The 70S ribosomes were completely dissociated into 30S and 50S subunits by appropriate concentrations of p-chloromercuribenzoic acid (PCMB) and 5,5'-dithio-bis-(2-nitro-benzoic acid). The N-ethylmaleimide and iodoacetamide failed to dissociate the ribosomes even at relatively high concentrations. The ra...
متن کاملParticle weights and protein composition of the ribosomal subunits of the extremely thermoacidophilic archaebacterium Caldariella acidophila.
1. The ribosomal subunits of one thermoacidophilic archaebacterium (Caldariella acidophila) and of two reference eubacterial species (Bacillus acidocaldarius, Escherichia coli) were compared with respect to ribosome mass and protein composition by (i) equilibrium-density sedimentation of the particles in CsCl and (ii) gel-electrophoretic estimations of the molecular weights of the protein and t...
متن کاملHeat stabilities of ribosomal subunits and reassociated ribosomes from Bacillus stearothermophilus.
Absorbance-temperature profiles reveal that both the 30S and 50S ribosomal subunits from Bacillus stearothermophilus are more thermostable than the comparable Escherichia coli particles. Thermophile ribosomes formed by the reassociation of subunits do not display functional heat stability.
