Attachment of Ribosomes to Membranes During Polysome Formation in Mouse Sarcoma 180 Cells

Abstract: Addition of nutrients to starved mouse S-180 cells leads to rapid conversion of ribosomal monomers to polysomes. During this process, a portion of the ribosomes originally found in the 17,000 g (10 min centrifugation) supernatant of cell lysates becomes firmly attached to structures sedimenting at 500 g (5 min centrifugation). Electron microscopy of sections of the intact cells showed the change from randomly distributed ribosomal particles to clusters. Association with membranes also became evident. The mater… Show more

“…In agreement with previous reports (Loeb et al, 1967;Talal & Kaltreider, 1968;Ragnotti et al, 1969;Tanaka et al, 1970;Lee et al, 1971;Venkatesan & Steele, 1972;Mishra et al, 1972), our results suggest first that the two classes of polyribosomes present within the liver cell, though morphologically distinct, are not functionally separate and secondly that the membrane-ribosome interaction is a dynamic relationship that shifts as the functional requirements of the cell demand.…”

“…Previous evidence tends to suggest that polysome formation is accompanied by association of the mRNA with a large structure (8). There are also indications that polyribosomes are associated with a cytoskeletal framework (14,18,19) and that this kind of association may be essential for mRNA translation in the cell (20). This raises the possibility that the p40-containing particles might be involved in the polysomecytoskeleton interaction.…”

“…After allowing the mixture to stand overnight at -20°, the nucleic acids were collected by centrifugation and washed three times with 70% ethanol. The nucleic acids were immediately dissolved with stirring at 30, in 10 ml of a solution containing 10 (14). [3H]uridine for 10 min and the RNA was extracted by the three procedures described under Materials and Methods.…”
