Abstract

Ribosomal protein S1 from Escherichia coli was studied in solution by small-angle X-ray scattering and the following parameters were obtained. The radius of gyration R = 8.0 +/- 0.2 nm; largest diameter D = 28 nm; molecular weight = (8--9) x 10(4). The data also yielded (with the assumption of a rigid particle with almost constant electron density) two radii of gyration of cross-section Rq1 = 2.5 +/- 0.1 nm and Rq2 = 1.05 +/- 0.05 nm and molecular volume = 140 nm3. The experimental scattering curve of S1 was compared with the theoretical scattering curves for several rigid triaxial homogeneous bodies and the closest fit was given by that of a flat elliptical cylinder with the dimensions of 4.5 nm and 0.88 nm for the two semiaxes and 26.5 nm for height. The results from the present X-ray scattering studies and those from limited proteolytic digestion of protein S1 [J. Mol. Biol. 127, 41--54, (1979)] support the notion that the structure of protein S1 is organized into two distinct subdomains within its elongated overall shape. Protein S1 was purified for this study by an efficient procedure which yielded 12 mg S1/g ribosomes. The isolated protein was fully active in functional tests both before and after X-ray irradiation.
