Identification by affinity chromatography of the rat liver ribosomal proteins that bind to Escherichia coli 5 S ribosomal ribonucleic acid.

The eukaryotic and prokaryotic ribosomal proteins that bind to Escherichia coli 5 S rRNA were identified by affinity chromatography. The E. coli ribosomal proteins that associated with the nucleic acid were L5, L18, and L25 confirming earlier findings using the same and different procedures. The rat liver ribosomal proteins that associated with E. coli 5 S rRNA were L6, L7, L19, L35a, and S9; several of those proteins also bind to rat liver 5 S rRna (L6, L19) and to 5.8 S rRna (L6, L19, and S9).
