Abstract

The protein components of human 40S ribosomal subunits were dissociated by centrifugation in gradients of sucrose and LiCl in the presence of 0.5 M KCl. The proteins that split off were analyzed by SDS-PAGE and 2D-PAGE. The order of dissociation of the proteins, depending on the salt concentration (from 0.8 M to 1.55 M), was established. The majority of the proteins started to split off simultaneously at a monovalent cation concentration of 0.8 M. Ten proteins were found to be more resistant; of these proteins S7, S10, S16, and S19 were retained most strongly and thereby may be considered to be core proteins.
