Isolation of Eukaryotic Ribosomal Proteins
نویسنده
چکیده
The proteins of the large subunit of rat liver ribosomes were separated into seven groups by stepwise elution from carboxymethylcellulose with LiCl at pH 6.5. Seventeen proteins (L4, L5, Li’, L9, Lll, L12, L13, L21, L22, L23, L26, L27, L30, L33, L35’, L37, and L39) were isolated from three of the groups (B60, D60, G60) by ion exchange chromatography on carboxymethylcellulose and by filtration through Sephadex. The amount of protein obtained varied from 0.5 to 15 mg. Eight of the proteins (L9, Lll, L13, L21, L22, L35’, L37, and L39) had no detectable contamination; the impurities in the others were no greater than 9%. The molecular weight of the proteins was estimated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulfate; the amino acid composition was determined.

Effect of 8 Weeks of Endurance Training on S6K1 and 4EBP1 Proteins Content in the Left Ventricle of the Heart of Diabetic Rats Induced by Streptozotocin and Nicotinamide
Introduction: Physiological hypertrophy of the heart is dependent on cellular pathways and important proteins such as the ribosomal protein S6 kinase beta-1 (S6K1) and eukaryotic translation intiation factor4E-binding protein-1(4EBP1). The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of 8 weeks of endurance training on ribosomal protein S6 kinase beta-1 and eukaryotic translation initiation...
متن کاملEukaryotic ribosomal proteins: the number of proteins in the subunits and their isoelectric points.
Today the number of proteins [l-5] in eukaryotic ribosomal subunits as well as their molecular weights [6] are fairly well determined. Many of these proteins are also isolated and purified [3]. Just like histones, ribosomal proteins are very basic. Both kinds occur naturally in combination with nucleic acids: so it is likely that electrical charges play an important part in the association of t...
متن کاملCrystal structure of the eukaryotic 40S ribosomal subunit in complex with initiation factor 1.
Eukaryotic ribosomes are substantially larger and more complex than their bacterial counterparts. Although their core function is conserved, bacterial and eukaryotic protein synthesis differ considerably at the level of initiation. The eukaryotic small ribosomal subunit (40S) plays a central role in this process; it binds initiation factors that facilitate scanning of messenger RNAs and initiat...
متن کاملThe archaeal origins of the eukaryotic translational system.
Among the 78 eukaryotic ribosomal proteins, eleven are specific to Eukarya, 33 are common only to Archaea and Eukarya and 34 are homologous (at least in part) to those of both Bacteria and Archaea. Several other translational proteins are common only to Eukarya and Archaea (e.g., IF2a, SRP19, etc.), whereas others are shared by the three phyla (e.g., EFTu/EF1A and SRP54). Although this and othe...
متن کاملStructural motifs of the bacterial ribosomal proteins S20, S18 and S16 that contact rRNA present in the eukaryotic ribosomal proteins S25, S26 and S27A, respectively
The majority of constitutive proteins in the bacterial 30S ribosomal subunit have orthologues in Eukarya and Archaea. The eukaryotic counterparts for the remainder (S6, S16, S18 and S20) have not been identified. We assumed that amino acid residues in the ribosomal proteins that contact rRNA are to be constrained in evolution and that the most highly conserved of them are those residues that ar...
متن کاملA hierarchical model for assembly of eukaryotic 60S ribosomal subunit domains.
Despite having high-resolution structures for eukaryotic large ribosomal subunits, it remained unclear how these ribonucleoprotein complexes are constructed in living cells. Nevertheless, knowing where ribosomal proteins interact with ribosomal RNA (rRNA) provides a strategic platform to investigate the connection between spatial and temporal aspects of 60S subunit biogenesis. We previously fou...
