| Method |
Cells were grown in media containing [35S]sulfate and different carbon sources, and harvested during mid-exponential phase after about 10 generations of balanced growth. Initiation factors (IF), elongation factors (EF), and a number of ribosomal proteins were identified unambiguously in gel patterns following two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. |
| Comments |
In E. coli IF3 is required for the 30S subunit to bind to the initiation site in mRNA. In addition, it has several other jobs including the stabilization of free 30S subunits, enables 30S subunits to bind to mRNA and checks for accuracy against the first aminoacyl-tRNA. |
