Ribosome degradation and the degradation products in starved Escherichia coli. V. Ribonucleoprotein particles from glucose-starved cells.
The properties of the abnormal ribonucleoprotein particles produced by Escherichia coli Q-13 starved for glucose were studied. Smaller species of these partially deproteinized particles separable to six distinct sizes contained partially degraded ribonucleic acids. The mode of ribosome degradation under this condition is discussed in terms of differential appearance of these intermediate particles.
