Popis: Globin synthesis in cell-free extracts of rabbit reticulocytes was carried out in the presence of 3H-labeled hemin. Sucrose gradient centrifugation analysis revealed [3H]hemin in the polyribosome fraction. The addition of puromycin resulted in the release of both [3H]hemin- and [14C]leucine-labeled polypeptide from the polyribosomes. The data suggest cotranslational folding of the globin molecule on the ribosome and cotranslational heme binding to the nascent globin chain.
