Effect of Ribosomes on the Thermostability of Rabbit Liver Aminoacyl-tRNA Synthetases

Summary

    The thermostability of free and associated with polyribosomes aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases from rabbit liver has been studied. The enzymes associated with polyribosomes are more stable to heat inactivation than the free ones. The 80S ribosomes as well as the 40S and 60S ribosomal subunits induce an increase in the thermostability of leucyl-tRNA synthetase in the high-molecular-weight comlpex from rabbit liver.
