OsNMD3ΔNLS interfered with the release of OsNMD3 from the 60S subunit. (A) Ribosomal extracts from wild-type and L1 plants (OsNMD3 ΔNLS GFP) were fractionated on a 5–50% sucrose density gradient; A 260 peaks representing free 40S and 60S subunits, 80S monosomes, and polysomes are indicated. (B and C) Fractions from the gradient shown in A were collected and subjected to immunoblotting with the indicated antibodies; RPL4 and RPS14 were used as the markers for the 60S and 40S subunits, respectively; red and blue asterisks indicate exogenous and endogenous OsNMD3, respectively (this figure is available in colour at JXB online).
