Terbium binding to rat liver ribosomes and ribosomal RNA (rRNA) was examined by equilibrium dialysis and fluorescence spectroscopy. Upon binding to ribosomes and rRNA, the enhancement of terbium fluorescence emission at both 488 and 541 nm was dependent only upon the amount of bound terbium and independent of ionic strength. Binding profiles for ribosomes and rRNA suggested that terbium was bound to ribosomes primarily through rRNA interactions. Data suggested that terbium mimicked characteristics previously described for interactions between ribosomes and magnesium. It is proposed, therefore, that fluorescence of terbium bound to ribosomes may prove useful in studies on the nature and extent of interactions between ribosomes and magnesium. |
