Dissociation of ribosomes from oocytes of Xenopus laevis into active subparticles

Dissociation of ribosomes from oocytes of Xenopus laevis into active subparticles

H Pratt et al. Biochem J. 1971 Oct.

Abstract

Ribosomes from oocytes of Xenopus laevis possess low endogenous activity in vivo and in vitro, yet are readily stimulated by poly(U). The ease with which these ribosomes dissociate into active subparticles under conditions where polyribosomes and active monoribosomes are stable supports the view that the majority are unprogrammed.
