Abstract
Phosphorylation of the ribosomal proteins by the extra-ribosomal protein kinase was investigated “in situ” and with purified 40 S or 60 S ribosomal proteins from cryptobiotic embryos of Artemia sp. , Ribosomal proteins that were most readily phosphorylated in 80 S ribosomes included S6 and S8 of the 40 S subunit and proteins L9, L13 and L18 of the 60 S subunit. Several additional polypeptides were phosphorylated when purified 40 S or 60 S ribosomal proteins were separately incubated in the reconstituted system. The possible functions of ribosomal phosphorylation in protein synthesis will be discussed.
