The binding of the probe to the ribosome or ribosomal subunits was assayed by nitrocellulose filtration and by sucrose gradient centrifugation techniques. The location of the hybridization site was determined by digestion of the rRNA/cDNA heteroduplex with ribonuclease H and gel electrophoresis of the digestion products, followed by the isolation and sequencing of the smaller digestion fragment. The cDNA probe was found to interact specifically with its rRNA target site. The effects on probe hybridization to both 50S and 70S ribosomes as a result of binding deacylated tRNAPhe were investigated. The binding of deacylated tRNAphe, eitherwith or without the addition of poly (uridylic acid), caused attenuation of probe binding to both 50S and 70S ribosomes. Probe hybridization to 23S rRNA was decreased byabout 75% in both 50S subunits and 70S ribosomes. These results suggest that bases within the 2497-2505 site may participate in a deacylated tRNA/rRNA interaction.
