The present work concerns the functional interaction between the rabbit liver ribosomes and aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases. We have shown that the ribosomes are able to stimulate the activity of leucyl-, isoleucyl- and phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetases. Possible mechanisms of this effect have been analysed. It is concluded, that the ribosomes have chaperone-like property in the maintenance of the ARS active conformation.
