The deoxyoctanucleotide (5′-3′)d(A-A-G-G-A-G-G-T), which is complementary to the 3′ end of 16-S RNA, inhibits the formation of the complex between the 30-S subunit and MS2 RNA described in the preceding paper. If the complex is preformed, the octanucleotide cannot prevent entry of the complex into the ribosome cycle upon supplementation with the components for protein synthesis. The subunit · MS2-RNA complex is unable to bind the octanucleotide. It is concluded that in the subunit · phage-RNA initiation precursor the 16-S terminus is base-paired with a complementary MS2 RNA sequence. Edeine, aurintricarboxylic acid and antibodies against ribosomal protein S1 prevent the association of phage RNA with 30-S subunits. These compounds do not, however, inhibit the binding of (5′-3′)d(A-A-G-G-A-G-G-T) to 30-S subunits. It is concluded that the formation of the complex between MS2 RNA and 30-S subunits does not depend solely on the Shine and Dalgarno base-pairing reaction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Virginiamycin S is an inhibitor of protein synthesis in vivo. In this paper we show by equilibrium dialysis that it binds specifically to the 50-S subunit of Escherichia coli ribosomes, with one binding site per subunit. This binding is not altered by the presence of chloramphenicol, tetracycline or puromycin but is competed for by erythromycin. Using the splitting-reconstitution method, it could be demonstrated that protein L16 is absolutely required for the binding of virginiamycin S to the 50-S subunit. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Adult bovine aortic endothelial (ABAE) cells, exposed to serum-free medium, specifically bind 125I-labeled human high-density lipoprotein (125I-HDL). Addition of human lipoprotein-deficient serum (LPDS) reduces the specific binding of 125I-HDL in a concentration-dependent manner, such that LPDS at a concentration of 6 mg protein/ml almost completely inhibits the specific binding of 125I-HDL. ABAE cultures exposed to 125I-labeled LPDS (125I-LPDS) specifically bind two peptides, which appear as minor iodinated components in 125I-LPDS. The binding of these two components is abolished in the presence of excess amounts of unlabeled LPDS or HDL. Preincubation of ABAE cells with 25-hydroxycholesterol (25-HC) results in an increase in the binding of the two 125I-LPDS components, similar to the increase observed in 125I-HDL binding in the presence of 25-HC. These two LPDS components comigrate on sodium dodecyl sulfate/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) with apolipoproteins A-I and A-IV of molecular masses 28 kDa and 43 kDa respectively. Furthermore, these two proteins were transfered from the SDS gel to nitrocellulose paper and interacted specifically with anti-(A-I) and anti-(A-IV) sera respectively. When ABAE cultures, pretreated with 25-HC in the presence of LPDS, are subjected to cell-surface iodination, the A-IV appears as one of the major proteins on the cell surface accessible to iodination. The interaction of A-IV with the cell surface of 25-HC-treated cells is not specific to ABAE cells and appears also in human skin fibroblasts. Analysis of the relative amounts of various apolipoproteins in the 125I-HDL bound to ABAE cells demonstrates a decrease in the relative amount of iodinated A-II concomitant with increase in the relative amounts of the other iodinated apolipoproteins, when compared to the composition of the native 125I-HDL. These changes are similar whether the binding is done in the presence or absence of LPDS. It indicates that the decrease in 125I-HDL binding in the presence of LPDS is not due to displacement of the iodinated apolipoproteins A-I and A-IV in the 125I-HDL by unlabeled A-I and A-IV present in LPDS. The results indicate that free apolipoproteins A-I and A-IV, present in LPDS, can displace HDL on the cell surface of ABAE cells. Thus, free A-I and A-IV, present in plasma, control the binding of HDL to endothelial cells and may regulate the process of cholesterol removal from the cells performed by HDL.

With the help of an automatic protein sequenator, we have verified a prediction made by us in a recent paper, namely that residue 16 in Candida krusei cytochrome c is a glutamine and not a glutamic acid. Neurospora crassa cytochrome c now remains the only mitochondrial cytochrome c which apparently does not have a glutamine at this position. In the course of this investigation, from two strains of Candida krusei we isolated two cytochromes which differ in amino acid composition. One of them seems to correspond to that described in the literature. Two of the differences have been located. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Amino acid analyses of L-lactate dehydrogenase from baker's show that the minimum molecular weight (53 000 daltons) of the protein is much lower than found in the literature (80 000). This result, combined with those reported in the following papers, leads to a revision of the dimeric model generally accepted for cytochrome b2 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
