Abstract

We report a morphological study of functioning ribosomes in a efficient and robust cell‐free protein synthesis system prepared from wheat embryos. Sucrose density gradient analysis of translated mixtures programmed with luciferase mRNAs having different 5′ and 3′ untranslated regions showed formation of large polysomes. Electron microscopic examination of translation mixtures programmed with those of capped and polyadenylated mRNA revealed that ribosomes assemble into a circular‐type polysome in vitro. Furthermore, a series of experiments using mRNAs lacking either cap, poly(A) tail or both also resulted in the formation of circular polysomes, which are indistinguishable from those with the original mRNA. The wheat germ cell‐free system may provide a good experimental system for understanding functional ribosomes at the molecular level.
