title: Peptidyl transferase activity in wheat germ ribosomes. Effect of some antibiotics.
abstract: The formation of N-acetyl-leucyl-puromycin in a "fragment reaction" catalyzed by 80 S ribosomes from wheat germ was characterized. The reaction product was identified by high-voltage electrophoresis. The fragment reaction is inhibited by sparsomycin, blasticidin S, gougerotin and to a lesser degree by amicetin and tetracycline. Formation of an acLeu-pentanucleotide-ribosomes complex was strongly stimulated by sparsomycin.
