Gemin5 siRNA depletion decreased the polysome/80S ratio, and enhanced global protein synthesis. (A) Polysome profiles (10–50% sucrose gradient) from cytoplasmic lysates of siRNA Gemin5 depleted cells (red line) and siRNA control cells (blue line). Gemin5 level in the lysates (siRNAG5) was determined by WB with anti-Gemin5 by comparison to HEK293 cells (siRNAcontrol). Tubulin was used as loading control. (B) Representation of the polysome/80S ratio (mean ± SD) obtained from three independent polysome profiles of Gemin5-depleted or control cells. (C) Representation of the intensity values of [35S]-met labeled proteins during a 3 h pulse in Gemin5 depleted and control cell extracts; values represent the mean ± SD obtained in three independent assays. Asterisks denote P-values (* P < 0.1; ** P < 0.05, *** P < 0.01).
