The different functional complexes of ribosomes with elongation factor F (EF-G) were studied by digestion experiments with trypsin. It was found that upon interaction of EF-G with ribosomes the L7/L12 proteins are sensitive to trypsin and are trypsin resistant after dissociation of EF-G from ribosomes. The significance of conformational alterations in the L7/L12 and also in the other proteins in the translation process is discussed.
通过用胰蛋白酶进行消化实验,研究了核糖体与延伸因子F(EF-G)的不同功能复合物。结果发现,当EF-G与核糖体相互作用时,L7/L12蛋白对胰蛋白酶敏感,而在EF-G从核糖体解离后则对胰蛋白酶具有抗性。文中讨论了L7/L12以及翻译过程中其他蛋白质构象改变的意义。
