Spot position of rat liver ribosomal proteins by four different two-dimensional electrophoreses in polyacrylamide gel

Summary

Separation of the proteins from rat liver 40S and 60S ribosomal subunits and polysomes was done in four different two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis systems. The first dimension was run at acidic or basic pH, the second dimension either with sodium dodecyl sulphate or at acidic pH in 18% acrylamide. The position of each individual protein of both subunits and polysomes was determined in each system. This identification resulted from a new method avoiding any previous purification of individual proteins. The new “proposed uniform nomenclature for mammalian ribosomal proteins” (McConkey et al. in press) was used for numbering the proteins in the four systems.
