DNA dependent synthesis of protein L12 from escherichia coli ribosomes, in vitro.

PMCID: PMC430964  PMID: 787986

Abstract

The in vitro synthesis of ribosomal protein L12 has been obtained in a coupled system with DNA extracted from the transducing phage lambdarifd18 as template. In addition, a second protein (molecular weight of 16,000) with immunological, chemical, and ribosome-binding characteristics similar to L12 is formed in this in vitro system. The synthesis of both proteins is depressed by one-half when guanosine-5'-diphosphate-3'-diphosphate is added to the reaction mixture.
