Isolation and characterization of twenty-three ribosomal proteins from large subunits of yeast

Abstract

The proteins of large ribosomal subunits from Saccharomyces cerevisiae were separated into 25 fractions by chromatography on columns of carboxymethylcellulose (CMC). Twenty-three proteins were then purified from the 12 CMC fractions by filtration through Sephadex G-75, Sephadex G-100, and Sephacryl S-200, and/or by phosphocellulose column chromatography. The isolated proteins are YP 1, YP 2, YP 9, YP 11, YP 13', YP 16, YP 18, YP 26, YP 39, YP 41, YP 42, YP 42', YP 44, YP 45, YP 47', YP 52a, YP 53, YP 55, YP 59, YP 62, YP 68, YP A1, and YP A2. The molecular weight and amino acid composition of these proteins are presented.
