Summary
Addition of 16S rRNA to a coupled transcription-translation in vitro system stimulated the synthesis of ribosomal protein S20 from transducing phage λ DNA. The S20 made under this condition was found to be bound to 16S rRNA. These results may indicate a connection between ribosomal assembly and the rate of ribosomal protein synthesis.
