    Abstract:
    The phosphorylation of ribosomal proteins from eukaryotes in homologous and heterologous cell-free systems has been studied. The ribosomes and protein kinases from yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae, strain Bu), wheat (Triticum vulgare) and rabbit (Orystolagus cuniculus) have been used. It has been found that five ribosomal proteins incorporate gamma-32P from ATP during the incubation of wheat ribosomes with wheat protein kinase. When the phosphorylation of isolated wheat ribosomal proteins was examined more phosphoproteins were detected. These data confirm the suggestion that the ribosomal structure affects the phosphorylation. Probably some ribosomal proteins remain hidden for the action of protein kinase. The results from the crossed experiments show that there is no barrier for phosphorylation of yeast ribosomes with liver protein kinase, of wheat ribosomes with yeast and liver protein kinases and of liver ribosomes with yeast and plant protein kinases. The wheat protein kinase does not phosphorylate the yeast ribosomes under these experimental conditions. Some differences in the set of phosphoproteins obtained with various protein kinases have been detected. These data suggest that the ribosomal protein phosphorylation is not highly species specific although it is not universal.
