Ribosomes were isolated from normal and growing kidney and the protein complement was examined by a two-dimensional gel electrophoretic procedure. Proteins were resolved in the first dimension on the basis of charge and, in the second dimension, on the basis of molecular weight. 60S and 40S ribosomal subunits from normal kidney contained respectively 42 and 31 proteins. 80S ribosomes contained 23 proteins not found with either sub-unit. Nineteen of these proteins were removed from the ribosomes when isolated ribosomes were washed in a high salt buffer. Six proteins of the 80S ribosome corresponded to proteins associated with both sub-units. 80S ribosomal proteins were also studied during compensatory renal hypertrophy after 4-96 h of induced growth. The protein complement displayed by electrophoresis was identical to the pattern seen from normal renal cells.

In the cell cytoplasm of human tissue cultures Detroit-6 and AO which produce B type oncorna-virus, two types of virus-specific structures were revealed. Structures of type I were aggregated fibrils of 3 and 6 nm diametre. Structures of type II were nucleoids of A-particles of 70-80 nm diametre. They were rather well separated from cell components by centrifugation sucrose density gradient and repeated centrifugation in the sucrose concentration gradient. Fibrils were found in the density regions of the equilibrium gradient of 1.26 and 1.19 g/cm3, whereas A-particles were detected in the sones of the density of 1.29 and 1.23-124 g/cm3. Their sedimentation coefficients in the sucrose concentration gradients were about 150S and 250S, respectively. From both structure types similar RNA classes were extracted sedimenting in 60S, 45S and 35S regions (sucrose concentration gradient). In addition, 20S RNA was found within the 150S structures. Both structures sa. However, hydridization degree of RNA isolated from both structures with DNA synthesized enzymatically on extracellular various (DNA I) and A-particles (DNA II) was different. With DNA-I, 50-80% of RNA isolated from the type I structures and less than 20% of RNA extracted from the type II structures were hybridized. At the same time, strictly opposite situation (50-80% of RNA II and 20% of RNA I) was observed for DNA-II. These data show lack of genetic connection between these types of cytoplasmic structures and possible role of type I structures in reproduction of oncorna-virus type B.

The synthesis of virus-specific macromolecules was studied in the reconstituted system containing inner membrane-matrix fraction from rat liver mitochondria and infectious RNA of Venezuelian equine encephalomyelitis (VEE) virus. In a series of preliminary experiments it was shown that isolated submitochondrial fraction was completely free of interfering cytoplasmic contaminations and particularly, of cytoplasmic 80S ribosomes. VEE RNA when added to submitochondrial system caused significant stimulation of RNA and protein synthesis. These processes were resistant to actinomycin D which inhibited profoundly the synthesis of proper mitochondrial macromolecules. The stimulating effect of VEE RNA in experiments with submitochondrial system was about three times higher than that with intact mitochondria. The stimulation of 14C-amino acid incorporation increased as a function of incubation time; a certain lag-period being observed. The newly formed virus-specific RNA's and ribonucleoproteins were identified with the aid of sedimentation analysis. In particular, radioactive RNA's with sedimentation coefficients 40S and 26-18S were isolated from the incubated system. These RNA's are similar respectively to VEE genome RNA and double-stranded VEE replicative RNA. In double labelling experiments with 3H-uridine and 14C-amino acids it was shown that VEE RNA induced synthesis of ribonucleoproteins containing newly formed RNA and protein. These RNP possessed sedimentation coefficients 60-80S, 140S and 300S in sucrose gradient and buoyant densities 1.32 and 1.50 g/cm3 in cesium chloride gradients. These properties of ribonucleoproteins synthesized de novo in submitochondrial system are close to those of RNP intermediates of VEE virus reproduction in the infected cells. We concluded that viral RNA could program virus-specific synthesis in the submitochondrial system under conditions that eliminated the contribution of cytoplasmic ribosomes.

Derivatives of 5'-32P]labeled (pU)3 and (pU)6 bearing 4-(N-2-chloroethyl-N-methylamino)benzylmethylamine residues attached to 5'-phosphates via phosphamide bond were applied to the affinity labeling of 80S ribosomes from human placenta. The reagents had normal coding properties and were fixed in the ribosomal mRNA-binding region by codon-anticodon interaction with cognate Phe-tRNA(Rhe) at P site (in the case of (pU)3 derivative) or at both A and P sites (in the case of (pU)6 one). Both reagents were found to modify only the 40S subunit. The sites of the reagents attachment to 18S ribosomal RNA were identified by blot-hybridization of the modified 18S rRNA with restriction fragments of the corresponding rDNA. They were found to be located within positions 976-1057 for (pU)6 derivative and within 976-1164 for (pU)3 one. These sites are located presumably within highly conserved parts of the eukaryotic small subunit rRNA secondary structure.

2',3'-O-[4-(N-2-chloroethyl-N-methylamino)]benzylidene derivatives of oligoribonucleotides (Up)5U[32P]pC and (Up)11U[32P]pC were used for affinity labeling of 80S ribosomes from human placenta in the presence of cognate Phe-tRNA(Phe). The derivatives retained the ability of tRNA(Phe)-dependent binding with 80S ribosomes and within the corresponding complexes were cross-linked to 40S subunits (preferentially to 18S rRNA). Sites of the mRNA analogs attachment were identified by blot-hybridization of the modified rRNA with restriction fragments of corresponding rDNA. They are located within positions 1610-1747 and 1748-1865 for both analogs. These fragments are situated at the 3'-end region of 18S rRNA in a highly conserved part of eukaryotic small subunit rRNA secondary structure.

Affinity labeling of 40S subunits from human placenta with 4-(N-2-chloroethyl-N-methylamino)benzylmethyl-[32P]phosphoamide s of oligoribonucleotides pAUG and pAUGU3 was studied. Covalent attachment of these derivatives to 40S subunits within the complexes with 40S subunits, formed in the presence of Met-tRNAf.eIF-2.GTP, was detected. Both rRNA and ribosomal proteins were modified. Fragments of 18S rRNA, containing sites of the reagent attachment were identified: 1058-1164 for pAUG derivative and 976-1057--for pAUG and pAUGU3 ones. The data obtained allowed to conclude that the presence of the neighbouring codon at the A-site, regardless of the presence of the tRNA in it, affects significantly the arrangement of the trinucleotide template in the codon-anticodon interaction region. The large subunit does not cause significant alterations in the structural organization of the codon-anticodon interaction region.

The SAL4 gene of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae encodes a novel translation factor (Sal4p) involved in maintaining translational fidelity. Using a polyclonal antibody raised against a Sal4p-beta-galactosidase fusion protein, Sal4p was shown to be almost exclusively associated with the ribosomal fraction. Even when the ribosomes were treated with 0.8 M KCl, only low levels of Sal4p were detected in the post-ribosomal supernatant, suggesting a very strong affinity between Sal4p and the ribosome. Analysis of the distribution of Sal4p in the ribosomal population revealed that it was principally associated with 40S subunits, monosomes and polysomes. Incubation in high salt concentrations (0.8 M KCl) suggested that the affinity of Sal4p for the 40S subunit was lower than that for monosomes or polysomes. The Sal4p:ribosome association was only maintained when ribosomes were prepared in the presence of the translation elongation inhibitor cycloheximide; in uninhibited cells much lower levels of Sal4p were detectable in the 'run-off' polysomes. In view of these data, and given the stoichiometry of Sal4p to individual ribosomal proteins (estimated at less than 1:20), we suggest that Sal4p plays an ancillary role in translation termination.

NSR1 is a yeast nuclear localization sequence-binding protein showing striking similarity in its domain structure to nucleolin. Cells lacking NSR1 are viable but have a severe growth defect. We show here that NSR1, like nucleolin, is involved in ribosome biogenesis. The nsr1 mutant is deficient in pre-rRNA processing such that the initial 35S pre-rRNA processing is blocked and 20S pre-rRNA is nearly absent. The reduced amount of 20S pre-rRNA leads to a shortage of 18S rRNA and is reflected in a change in the distribution of 60S and 40S ribosomal subunits; there is no free pool of 40S subunits, and the free pool of 60S subunits is greatly increased in size. The lack of free 40S subunits or the improper assembly of these subunits causes the nsr1 mutant to show sensitivity to the antibiotic paromomycin, which affects protein translation, at concentrations that do not affect the growth of the wild-type strain. Our data support the idea that NSR1 is involved in the proper assembly of pre-rRNA particles, possibly by bringing rRNA and ribosomal proteins together by virtue of its nuclear localization sequence-binding domain and multiple RNA recognition motifs. Alternatively, NSR1 may also act to regulate the nuclear entry of ribosomal proteins required for proper assembly of pre-rRNA particles.

We have isolated two cDNA clones which appear to encode the 40S ribosomal subunit protein S15a from Brassica napus (oilseed rape). The open reading frame in both clones contains 390 bases, encoding a deduced polypeptide sequence of 130 amino acids (100% homology between clones) with 76% sequence identity to the N-terminal 37 amino acids of the rat ribosomal protein S15a and 80% identity to the S24 polypeptide of yeast. Both the yeast and rapeseed proteins have a net positive charge of +9 and the rapeseed S15a protein has a molecular mass of 14778 Da compared to 14762 Da for the yeast protein. The rapeseed ribosomal protein S15a is encoded by a small multi-gene family with at least two actively transcribed members. A single transcript of ca. 1.0 kb, corresponding to ribosomal protein S15a, is abundant in actively dividing tissues such as apical meristem, flower buds and young leaves and less abundant in mature stem and fully expanded leaves.

Spontaneous S6 phosphatase activities dephosphorylating Ser(P)-235 and Ser(P)-236 of the ribosomal protein S6 were measured and compared in microsomes and cytosol of rat liver. The substrate used, small (40S) ribosomal subunits 32P-labelled in vitro by protein kinase A, contained phosphorylated S6 (mainly in the diphosphorylated form) and some minor phosphorylated species. The microsomal and cytosolic S6 phosphatase activities displayed a number of distinct properties. The microsomal activity, representing ca 20% of the S6 phosphatase activity in the post-mitochondrial supernatant, was mainly due to a type-1 phosphatase and dephosphorylated only S6. The remaining post-mitochondrial S6 phosphatase activity, which was fully recovered in the cytosol, and appeared to result from a combination of type-1 (43%) and type 2 (57%) phosphatases, acted on S6 as well as on the minor phosphorylated species. The microsomal activity was 50% inhibited by MgCl2 (10 mM) and was stimulated at least 4.3 fold by MnCl2 (1 mM), while the cytosolic activity was inhibited only 18% by Mg2+ (10 mM) and was increased 2.2 fold by Mn2+ (1 mM). The microsomal activity was increased 10% (P less than 0.06) by lower doses of insulin (25 U/Kg) and 14% (P less than 0.05) by vanadate, but was not significantly (P greater than 0.10) affected by larger doses of insulin (100 U/kg), hepatectomy or cycloheximide. By comparison the cytosolic S6 phosphatase activity was unresponsive to insulin and vanadate, but was decreased 14% and 17% (P less than 0.05) by hepatectomy and cycloheximide.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
