The reactivation of stationary phase ribosomes from Bacillus stearothermophilus

Ribosomes from stationary phase Bacillus stearothermophilus have a diminished activity in protein synthesis due to the presence of a bound protein (association factor I, AFI). This factor inhibits the binding of fmet-tRNA to ribosomes. The inhibition of protein synthesis can be reversed in systems d...

Sumario:Ribosomes from stationary phase Bacillus stearothermophilus have a diminished activity in protein synthesis due to the presence of a bound protein (association factor I, AFI). This factor inhibits the binding of fmet-tRNA to ribosomes. The inhibition of protein synthesis can be reversed in systems directed by viral mRNA by the addition of an excess of high salt ribosomal wash obtained from mid-log cells. Under this condition AFI is released from ribosomes. © 1982.
