Ribosomal Proteins: Their Structure and Evolution

  • Chapter
Structure, Function, and Genetics of Ribosomes

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Molecular Biology ((SSMOL))

Abstract

Since ribosomes occur in all organisms ranging from bacteria to mammals, they are ideal objects for evolutionary studies. Although these organelles have maintained a common function in protein biosynthesis, their structure has undergone drastic changes throughout evolution. Ribosomal components from different organisms vary considerably in size and number, and they constitute ribosomes with sedimentation coefficients ranging from 55S to 80S (see chapter by Wittmann in this volume). This raises the uestions of how different species of ribosomes can perform a common function despite of their drastic structural differences and which parts of the individual ribosomal components are responsible for conservation of the basic function.
