  • Title: Topography of Escherichia coli ribosomal proteins. The order of reactivity of thiol groups.
    Author: Bakardjieva A, Crichton RR.
    Journal: Biochem J; 1974 Dec; 143(3):599-606. PubMed ID: 4618476.
    Abstract:
    1. 30S and 50S ribosomal subunits of Escherichia coli were treated with N-[2,3-(14)C]-ethylmaleimide and iodo[(14)C]acetamide. 2. The proteins in the native subunits which reacted with the reagents were S1,double dagger S2, S12, S13, S18, S21, L2, L5, L6, L10, L11, L15, L17, L20, L26+28 and L27. 3. Several proteins, such as S1, S12, S14, S18, L2, L6, L10, L11 and either L26 or 28, had thiol groups in an oxidized form and reacted to a greater extent after reduction with beta-mercaptoethanol or dithiothreitol. 4. The total number of thiol groups in 30S and 50S subunits was determined as 16-17 and 26-27 respectively. The total number of thiol groups in each ribosomal protein was also determined. 5. The reaction of 30S and 50S subunits with iodoacetamide under several different conditions established the order of reactivity of thiol groups.
