Abstract

30S ribosomal proteins from Bacillus stearothermophilus ( B . proteins) have been fractionated and characterized with respect to their ability to replace various E. coli 30S proteins ( E. proteins) in the E. coli 30S ribosome reconstitution system. The functional counterparts of all the E . proteins, except S1, S6, S9, and S13, have been tested. In all cases, B . proteins can substitute for E . proteins. Several purified B . proteins are chemically different from their functionally homologous E . proteins. Five B . proteins are immunochemically related to E . proteins; this set includes two proteins that could not be tested in the reconstitution system (S9 and S13). Thus most, if not all, of the E . proteins have functionally equivalent counterparts among B . proteins, even though properties of the two ribosomes are different in several respects. These results suggest that the fundamental structural organization of ribosomes may be the same throughout prokaryotic organisms.
