Abstract: | Six 50 S ribosomal subunit proteins, each unable to interact independently with the 23 S RNA, were shown to associate specifically with ribonucleoprotein complexes consisting of intact 23 S RNA, or fragments derived from it, and one or more RNA-binding proteins. In particular, L21 and L22 depend for attachment upon L20 and L24, respectively; L5, L10 and L11 interact individually with complexes containing L2 and L16; and one or both proteins of the mixture are stimulated to bind in the presence of L1, L3, L6, L13 and L23. Moreover, L14 alone was found to interact with a fragment from the 3′ end of the 23 S RNA, even though it cannot bind to 23 S RNA. By correlating the data reported here with the findings of others, it has been possible to formulate a partial in vitro assembly map of the Escherichia coli 50 S subunit encompassing both the 5 S and 23 S RNAs as well as 21 of the 34 subunit proteins. |
