The present article is concerned with ribosome assembly. However, this theme is really only a device which is introduced t o explore the functions of that two-thirds of the prokaryotic ribosome which is RNA. A close look at ribosome assembly turns out to be a convenient way t o approach this problem
Escherichia coli was depleted of ribosomes by a thermal shock at 47 degrees C which quantitatively destroyed the 30S ribosomal subunits. During recovery in minimal medium at 30 degrees C RNA is synthesized while protein synthesis resumes only after about 90 min. It is shown that lac mRNA is synthesi
