Alteration of a 30S Ribosomal Protein Accompanying the ram Mutation in Escherichia coli

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

The functional peculiarities of ram mutants correlate with an observed alteration in chromatographic mobility of P4a, a specific protein of the 30S ribosomal subunit. This finding is supported by ribosomal reconstitution experiments. These facts, together with the known location of the ram mutational site in the vicinity of other 30S genetic determinants, suggest that ram is the structural gene for P4a.
