Abstract
THE 30S ribosomal subunits of Escherichia coli contain twenty-one different proteins1–4, which together with 16S RNA can reassemble in vitro to form functional 30S particles5. Five proteins can individually bind to specific sites on the 16S RNA6–8 and these are S4, S7, S8, S15 and S20 (in the nomenclature recently adopted by several laboratories to report results with the E. coli system9). We report here the first identification of a mutation that affects a ribosomal protein-nucleic acid interaction.
