To understand how chloroplast mRNAs are translated into functional proteins, a detailed understanding of all of the components of chloroplast translation is needed. To this end, we performed a proteomic analysis of the plastid ribosomal proteins in the small subunit of the chloroplast ribosome from the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Twenty proteins were identified, including orthologs of Escherichia coli Si, S2, S3, S4, S5, S6, S7, S9, S10, S12, S13, S14, S15, S16, Si 7, Si S18, S19, S...

Ribosomal Proteins Moonlighting
The Scientist ; Ribosomal proteins, classically thought to function only as translational machinery, now appear to play a role in the HDM2-p53 pathway. Recent work by scientists at the University of Texas MD Andersen Cancer Center in Houston shows that during cell-growth inhibition, ribosomal protein Lu
Crosslinking of Ribosomal Proteins to RNA in Maize Ribosomes by UV-B and Its Effects on Translation1[w]
Plant Physiology ; Ultraviolet-B (LfV-B) photons can cause substantial cellular damage in biomolecules, as is well established for DNA. Because RNA has the same absorption spectrum for UV as DNA, we have investigated damage to this cellular constituent. In maize (Zea mays) leaves, UV-B radiation damages ribosomes by
Ribosomal Proteins in the Spotlight
Critical Reviews in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology ; ABSTRACT The assignment of specific ribosomal functions to individual ribosomal proteins is difficult due to the enormous cooperativity of the ribosome; however, important roles for distinct ribosomal proteins are becoming evident. Although rRNA has a major role in certain aspects of ribosomal
Rapamycin Inhibits Liver Growth during Refeeding in Rats via Control of Ribosomal Protein Translation but Not Cap-Dependent Translation Initiation1
The Journal of Nutrition ; ABSTRACT We examined the role of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) in hepatic cell growth. To dissociate cell growth from cell proliferation, we employed an in vivo model of nonproliferative liver growth in rats, refeeding after 48 h of food deprivation. Starvation resulted in a decrease in
Interplay between Liquid Crystalline and Isotropic Gels in Self-Assembled Neurofilament Networks
Biophysical Journal ; ABSTRACT Neurofilaments (NFs) are a major constituent of nerve cell axons that assemble from three subunit proteins of low (NF-L), medium (NF-M), and high (NF-H) molecular weight into a 10 nm diameter rod with radiating sidearms to form a bottlebrush-like structure. Here, we reassemble NFs in vitro
