Acidic ribosomal proteins of Neurospora crassa.
Neurospora crassa acidic ribosomal proteins from the high salt-ethanol extract of 80 S ribosomes have been fractionated by DEAE-cellulose chromatography. Six acidic ribosomal proteins were purified. All resemble Escherichia coli L7 and L12 in amino acid composition and molecular weight but each has a slightly different net charge at pH 3.2. Four have an apparent molecular weight of approx. 14 000, and two have a molecular weight of approx. 14 800. The amino acid compositions and circular dichroism (CD) spectra of the purified Neuropsora proteins are identical for the four 14 kDa proteins, but clearly distinguishable from the two 14.8 kDa proteins. The latter are also identical in amino acid composition and CD spectra. This suggests that there are two Neurospora acidic, or 'A', proteins, one of which exists in four microheterogeneous forms and the other exists in two forms.
