## Abstract It is known that insulin treatment increases the rate of protein synthesis in many cells and tissues and that it causes changes in the distribution of ribosomes between free (FP), cytoskeletalβbound (CBP) and membraneβbound polysome (MBP) populations. This paper concerns an analysis of

β¦ Synopsis
Ribosomal proteins from pure free and membrane-bound rat liver polysomes were analyzed with a highly resolutive two-dimensional gel electrophoresis technique, using sodium dodecyl sulfate in the second dimension. Three acidic proteins found in free polysomes were always absent from the membrane-bound polysomes. Their molecular weights were estimated to be 20 000, 19 500 and 18 500. When free ribosomes were dissociated into subunits, the three protein spots were still found in the 60S subunit pattern, but they were weaker than in polysomes. A possible involvement of these three proteins in the attachment of ribosomal structures to the membranes is proposed.

The comparison of the proteins of rat liver rough membrane after strippirig with EDTA or KCl-puromycin by two dimensional gel electrophoresis is described. By stripping the membrane with EDTA, most of the basic ribosomal proteins are still attached to the membrane; in contrast to the EDTA stripping
Polysomes from Krebs II ascites and 3T3 cells were separated into three populations by using a sequential extraction method. Free polysomes were released by using a combination of low salt (25 mM KCl) and NP-40 detergent in the lysis buffer. The cytoskeletal bound polysomes were subsequently release
Contrasting results have been reported on the effect of steroid hormones on the interaction between ribosomes and endoplasmic reticulum in rat liver. Exposure to high gravitational forces for a long time was found necessary to obtain a constant ratio of free to membrane-bound ribosomes from the post
