Inactivation of Ribosomes In Vitro by Colicin E3

Thierry Boon 1
PMCID: PMC389435  PMID: 4944624

Abstract

Cell-free protein synthesizing extracts incubated with purified preparations of colicin E3 showed a marked decrease of their protein synthesizing activity. Incubation of ribosomes prepared from S-30 extracts with E3 resulted in their inactivation. Their 16S RNA was found to lose a terminal fragment, similar in size to the fragment released upon in vivo treatment with E3. Extracts derived from colicinogenic strains are resistant to the action of E3in vitro.

Keywords: E. coli, immune strains, S30, 16S RNA
