Eisenstadt and Brawerman16 report respective sedimentation values of 60 S (rRNA: 19 S, 14 S) and 70 S (rRNA: 19 S only) for chloroplast and cytoplasmic ribosomes of Euglena gracilis. Our determination of 80 S for sedimentation value of ribosomes of Avena coleoptile sections is based on preparations containing both chloroplast and cytoplasmic ribosomes. As such the 80 S value is general and tentative, pending clarification for our system of the two populations of ribosomes. It is interesting that Biswas and Biswas16 report an actinomycin D-resistant synthesis of RNA by chloroplasts isolated from spinach leaves. Whether this has a bearing on our finding of Avena RNA synthesis in the presence of this inhibitor (see Fig. 5A and text) remains to be investigated.
For base compositions of 30 S and 20 S, rRNA, peak fractions from sucrose gradients were collected and analysed separately. Values cited represent averages for triplicate determinations, with less than 1.5 per cent variation. Base compositions were determined by the method of Magasanik ( Magasanik, B., in The Nucleic Acids: Chemistry and Biochemistry, 1, edit. by Chargaff, E., and Davidson, J. N., 373 (Academic Press, New York, 1955)).
