In Vitro Synthesis of Ribosomal Proteins Directed by Escherichia coli DNA*

PMCID: PMC388023  PMID: 4205593

Abstract

In vitro synthesis of a number of E. coli 30S ribosomal proteins has been demonstrated in a cell-free system consisting of ribosomes, initiation factors, RNA polymerase, a fraction containing soluble enzymes and factors, and E. coli DNA. DNA-dependent synthesis of the following 30S proteins has been demonstrated: S4, S5, S7, S8, S9, S10, S13, S14, S16, S19, and S20.

Keywords: ribosome reconstitution, radio-immunodiffusion, protein identification
