| pubmed-article:2429836 | pubmed:abstractText | RNA-protein cross-links were introduced into Escherichia coli 30S subunits by treatment with 1-ethyl-3(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide. 16S rRNA, cross-linked to 30S ribosomal proteins, was isolated and hybridized with seven single-stranded bacteriophage M13-DNA probes. These probes, each carrying an inserted rDNA fragment, were used to select contiguous RNA sections covering domains 3 and 4 (starting at nucleotide 868 and ending at the 3'OH terminus) of the 16S rRNA. The proteins covalently linked to each selected RNA section were identified by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Proteins S7 and S9 were shown to be efficiently cross-linked to multiple sites belonging to both domains. | lld:pubmed |
