  • Title: The mitochondrial ribosomes of Neurospora crassa. II. Comparison of the proteins from Neurospora crassa mitochondrial ribosomes with ribosomal proteins from Neurospora cytoplasm, from rat liver mitochondria and from bacteria.

    Abstract:
    1. It has been shown by Datema et al. (Datema, R., Agsteribbe, E. and Kroon, A.M. (1974) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 335, 386--395) that Neurospora mitochondria isolated in a Mg2+-containing medium (or after homogenization of the mycelium in this medium and subsequent washing of the mitochondria in EDTA-containing medium) possess 80-S ribosomes; mitochondria homogenized and isolated in EDTA medium yield 73-S ribosomes. The ribosomal proteins of the subunits of 80-S and 73-S ribosomes were compared by two-dimensional electrophoresis. The protein patterns of the large, as well as of the small subunits are very similar but not completely identical; the most conspicuous difference is that the large subunit of 80 S contains about eight more proteins than the large subunit of 73 S. 2. The contamination by Neurospora cytoplasmic 77-S ribosomes in the 80-S preparations, if present, is only minor. 3. Neurospora cytoplasmic ribosomes contain 31 proteins in the large, and 21 proteins in the small subunit. 4. Neurospora 80- mitochondrial ribosomes contain 39 proteins in the large, and 30 proteins in the small subunit 30 proteins. 5. Rat liver mitochondrial ribosomes contain 40 proteins in the large and at least 30 proteins in the small subunit. About 50% of these proteins has an isoelectric point below pH 8.6. 6. The pattern of Paracoccus denitrificans is very similar to that of other bacterial ribosomes, the large subunit contains 29, the small subunit 18 proteins.
