    Abstract:
    We have investigated the protein-protein cross-links formed within the 50 S subunit of the Escherichia coli ribosome using 2-iminothiolane as the cross-linking reagent. The members of the cross-links have been identified by immunoblotting from one-dimensional and two-dimensional diagonal sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels using antisera specific for the individual ribosomal proteins. This method also allowed a quantitation of the yield of cross-linking for each cross-link. A total of 14 cross-links have been identified: L1-L33, L2-L9, L2-L9-L28, L3-L19, L9-L28, L13-L21, L14-L19, L16-L27, L17-L30, L17-L32, L19-L25, L20-L21, L22-L32, and L23-L34. Our results are compared with those of Traut and coworkers (Traut, R. R., Tewari, D. S., Sommer, A., Gavino, G. R., Olson, H. M., and Glitz, D. G. (1986) in Structure, Function and Genetics of Ribosomes (Hardesty, B. and Kramer, G., eds) pp. 286-308, Springer-Verlag, New York). Our cross-linking data allow us to propose the approximate locations of eight proteins of the 50 S ribosomal subunit that so far have not been localized by immunoelectron microscopy and they thus contribute considerably to our knowledge of ribosome structure.
