December 28,1978 SUMMARY

Two dimensional gel electrophoresis of ribosomal proteins from Saccharomyces cerevisiae reveals the presence of three spots in the region corresponding to proteins of high acidic character. Washing the ribosomes with 0.4 M NH4Cl and 508 ethanol, followed by chromatography of the extracted proteins on DEAE-cellulose, indicated the presence of two fractions of acidic proteins; (A and Ax), having very similar molecular weights (lZ.OOO-13.000), but phosphorylated to different extents. Fractions A and Ax are immunologically distinct and their immunologic properties differ from acidic proteins found in Escherichia rat 1 iver, and --Artemia sal ina ribosomes. fi, Protein A can be resolved into two bands by electrofocusing, and two dimensional gel electrophoresis. The two components correspond to proteins L44 and L45 according to the standard nomenclature. Proteins Ax seems to correspond to the spot that moves above and to the left of L44 and L45 and is at least three times more phosphoryiated than these two proteins. INTRODUCTION The

The acidic proteins were extracted by washing the ribosomes with 0.4 M NH@1 in the presence of 50% ethanol at 0°C (according to Hamel et al. (17)) with the modif ications reported (15). The proteins extracted (SPO.4) were applied to DEAE-cellulose column and eluted essentially in the same condit-ions described for Artemia sal ina proteins (3) but using a steeper gradient (10 mM to 1.5 M)ofium acetate.

When SDS was present in the second dimension, the conditions of Martini and Gould (21) were used.

techniques

Antisera were rised in rabbit by intramuscular injection of the proteins in complete adjuvant followed by two subcutaneous booster injections in incomplete adjuvant every 15 days. Sera were processed as described (15). lmmunodifusion tests were carried out on 1% agar plates, in 10 mM Tris-HCI, 150 mM NaCl pH 7.4.

Radioimmunoassay was carried out using l-labeled protein Ax and anti-SPO.4 bound to CNBr activated Sepharose 4B. About 50000 cpm of labeled Ax (specific activity 18500 cpm/pmol) were added to 40 pl of antiSPO.b-Sepharose (1 mg/ml) and after incubation for 1 h at room temperature and 1 h at 0°C the samples were centrifuged at 5000 rpm for 10 min. The pellet was washed twice with water and finally resuspended in 100 ~1 of water. The bound radiactivity was measured in 50~1 of the final suspension. Competition was done incubating in the presence of increasing concentration of unlabeled proteins.
