Abstract

A number of different monomer and dimer derivatives of protein L7/L12 has been studied in EF-G-dependent reactions on the ribosome. It has been shown that only dimer derivatives of protein L7/L12 are able to interact with the ribosome. This means that it is the dimer forms of protein L7/L12 that are present in the functionally active ribosome. It is likely that the N-terminal sequence of protein L7/L12 is responsible for dimerization of the protein in solution and at the same time contributes mainly to the interaction of the protein L7/L12 dimer with the ribosome. The results obtained suggest that there are four copies of protein L7/L12 in the translating ribosome.
