Processing of the early cleavage site in the 5′-ETS of the primary transcript is still taking place upon depletion of RPS proteins. Pre-rRNAs uncleaved at site A’ were detected with probe 5′-ETSb, spanning nucleotides 301–324. This probe predominantly revealed the 45S pre-rRNA together with an extended form of the 30S pre-rRNA that we called 30S+1. (A) The 30S+1 species accumulated slightly on depletion of i-RPS proteins. However, the majority of the 30S RNA detected with probe 5′-ITS1 corresponds to a faster migrating band (overlay), indicating that it is processed at site A’. (B) Mild accumulation of 30S+1 RNA was observed on depletion of some p-RPSs only, especially RPS18.
