Specific interaction of proteins with 5 S RNA and tRNA in the 42 S storage particle of Xenopus oocytes.
???displayArticle.abstract???
During early oogenesis in amphibia, most of the 5 S RNA and tRNA is stored in a ribonucleoprotein particle that sediments at 42 S. In Xenopus laevis the 42 S particle contains two major proteins: of Mr 48 000 (P48) and 43 000 (P43). It is shown that heterogeneity in composition of the 42 S particle reflects a changing situation whereby initially, both 5 S RNA and tRNA are complexed with P48 (1 molecule 5 S RNA: 1 molecule P48; 2 or 3 molecules tRNA: 1 molecule P48), but later, tRNA becomes increasingly associated with P43 (in a 1:1 ratio) although 5 S RNA remains complexed with a cleavage product of P48. These changes relate to the eventual utilization of the excess 5 S RNA and tRNA in ribosome assembly and protein synthesis.
