In vivo interaction of SmpB with the small subunit and tmRNA. Crude ribosomes (P100) from E. coli cells were fractionated by sucrose gradient centrifugation at low concentration of Mg2+ ions. (A) Absorbencies of each fraction. (B) 23S and 16S ribosomal RNAs were detected by ethidium bromide staining and were separated on a formaldehyde-agarose gel. (C) Detection of tmRNA by Northern hybridization. (D) Detection of the presence of SmpB protein in sucrose fractions by Western blotting.
