RESUMO
Rat liver 60S ribosomal subunits were irradiated with 254-nm ultraviolet light (1.26 X 10(4) quanta/subunit), under conditions which preserved their functional activity. Cross-linked RNA-protein complexes were recovered after unreacted proteins had been removed by repeated acetic acid extractions. Proteins linked to the whole rRNA, to 5S RNA and to 28-5.8 S RNAs were identified by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis after RNA hydrolysis by ribonucleases T1 and A. Our results showed that numerous proteins interact with rRNAs (at least ten with 28-5.8 S RNA, eight with 5S RNA and among these three are common to both) and have been discussed in the light of all the available data.
