| Abstract: | Mild proteolysis with Pronase selectively dissociates ribosomes not attached to mRNA into subunits; ribosomes attached to mRNA remain intact. A portion of monoribosomes from reticulocytes incubated with NaF resisted proteolytic dissociation. Recovery of mRNA from monoribosomes of NaF-treated reticulocytes therefore may be explained by persistent attachment of some monoribosomes to mRNA. |
