John M. Lambert,* Guy Boileau, 5 Jan A. Cover, and Robert R. Traut* abstract: Ribosome 70S tight couples and 30S subunits derived from them were modified with 2-iminothiolane under conditions where about two sulfhydryl groups per protein were added to the ribosomal particles. The 70S and 30S particles were not treated with elevated concentrations of NH4C1, in contrast to those used in earlier studies. The modified particles were oxidized to promote disulfide bond formation. Proteins were extracted from the cross-linked particles by using con-ditions to precludedisulfide interchange. Disulfide-linked protein complexes were fractionated on the basis of charge by electrophoresis in polyacrylamide/urea gels at pH 5.5. The proteins from sequential slices of the urea gels were analyzed by two-dimensional diagonal polyacrylamide/sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis. Final identification of proteins in cross-linked complexes was made byradioiodination of the proteins, followed by two-dimensional polyacrylamide/urea gel electrophoresis. Attention was focused on cross-links be-tween 30S proteins. We report the identification of 27 cross-linked dimers and 2 trimers of 30S proteins, all but one of which were found in both 70S ribosomes and free 30S subunits in similar yield. Seven of the cross-links, S3-S13, S13-S21, S14-S19, S7-S12, S9-S13, S11-S21, and S6-S18-S21, have not been reported previously when 2-iminothiolane was used. Cross-links S3-S13, S13-S21, S7-S12, SI 1-S21, and S6-S18-S21 are reported for the first time. The identification of the seven new cross-links is illustrated and discussed in detail. Ten of the dimers reported in the earlier studies of Sommer &Traut (1976)[Sommer, A., & Traut, RR (1976) J. Mol. Biol. 106, 995-1015], using 30S subunits treated with high salt concentrations, were not found in the experiments reported here. e three-dimensional structure of the 30S ribosomal subunit has been investigated extensively by a variety of techniques (Brimacombe et al., 1978). Protein cross-linking (Traut et al., 1980; Expert-Bezan9on et al., 1977; Sommer & Traut, 1976), immune electron microscopy (Lake, 1980; Stoffler et al., 1980; Kahan et al., 1981), and neutron scattering techniques (Langer et al., 1978; Ramakrishnan et al., 1981) have been used to define ribosomal protein arrangement in the 30S subunit. Preliminary models have been constructed by using this evidence. There is goodgeneral agreement of the results from the different experimental approaches. A smallnumber of cross-links have appeared inconsistent with immune electron microscopy (Kahan et al., 1981) and with the neutron scat-tering model (Ramakrishnan et al., 1981). Free 30S subunits undergo a magnesium concentration dependent conformational change upon association with 50S subunits (Ball et al., 1973), which requires energy to overcome an activation barrier (Zamir et al., 1971). Chemical modi-fication has been used as a probe of conformational change upon subunit association. Several studies have shown that some proteins are protected from modification by subunit association, while others become more reactive in the 70S ribosome compared to free subunits (Huang & Cantor, 1972; Litman et al., 1976). Similar results have been obtained at specific sites in the 16S RNA of the 30S subunit by using the guanine-specific reagent kethoxal (Herr et al., 1979). Neutron scattering results indicate that the30S subunit has the same general shape in 70S ribosomes and as free 30S subunits
