ABSTRACT
This is the third paper in a series (Olah, T. V., Olson, H. M., Glitz, D. G., and Cooperman, B. S. (1988) J. Biol. Chem. 263, 4795-4800; Olson, H. M., Olah, T., Cooperman, B. S., and Glitz, D. G. (1988) J. Biol. Chem. 263, 4801-4806) describing the use of 2,4-dinitrophenyl (DNP) derivatives of Escherichia coli 30 S ribosomal proteins to locate the positions of these proteins within the 30 S subunit by immune electron microscopy. In it we describe the derivatization of proteins S6, S13, S16, and S18 with [3H]2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene, identify the nature of the derivatized amino acids within each protein, and demonstrate that each DNP protein, denoted DNP-Sx, can be taken up into a reconstituted 30 S subunit when added to a reconstitution mixture containing 16 S rRNA and total 30 S protein depleted in Sx. We further demonstrate that each DNP-Sx binds within the 30 S subunit in a position identical or similar to that of the unmodified Sx protein, as judged by its meeting one or more of the following three criteria (i) unmodified Sx competes with the uptake of DNP-Sx into 30 S subunits; (ii) DNP-Sx restores functional activity to those single protein omission reconstitution particles lacking full activity; (iii) DNP-Sx induces the uptake of proteins into 30 S subunits that depend on the presence of Sx. The fourth paper in this series (Montesano-Roditis, L., McWilliams, R., Glitz, D. G., Olah, T. V., Perrault, A. R., and Cooperman, B. S. (1993) J. Biol. Chem. 268, 18701-18709), which follows this one, describes the localization of the DNP-Sx proteins within the 30 S subunit by immune electron microscopy.
