Nonribosomal proteins associated with eukaryotic native small ribosomal subunits

C Freienstein et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 1975 Sep.

Abstract

The native small ribosomal subunit (Sn) from rabbit reticulocytes which is able to initiate translation of globin mRNA in a cell-free system carries additional protein components. The latter can be separated from the subunit in a high salt sucrose gradient yielding a top fraction (T) and a complex fraction (C), sedimenting at about 4 and 15 S, respectively. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulfate revealed that fraction T contained four dominant polypeptides, while fraction C represents a large protein complex consisting of at least 10 polypeptides. Sn isolated from other sources showed similar patterns of their nonribosomal proteins. Reconstitution experiments revealed that fraction C is absolutely required for protein synthesis, while fraction T enhances protein synthesis only in the presence of C. The adherence of these protein factors to the subunit is not mediated by magnesium ions. Treatment of Sn with EDTA and centrifugation in a magnesium-free sucrose gradient caused unfolding of the subunits and dissociation of several ribosomal proteins, but not of the factors. The unfolded ribosomal subunits sedimented as two distinct peaks. The more slowly sedimenting peak contained proteins of fraction T and the faster sedimenting one contained the 15S complex, indicating heterogeneity of the Sn population with respect to the factors attached to them.
