Popis: The late steps in ribosome assembly in vivo were studied by characterizing mutations which suppress the cold-sensitivity of a spectinomycin-resistant mutant of Escherichia coli . The results obtained indicated that the cold-sensitivity could be relieved by secondary alterations in either the S2, S3 or S5 protein of the 30 S ribosomal subunit. The gene controlling the alteration of S2 protein was closely linked to the polC gene located at about 3.5 minutes on the genetic map of E. coli , whereas S3 and S5 suppressor genes were linked to the str-spc region at 64 minutes. A possible model in which the S2, S3 and S5 proteins constitute a sub-assembly pathway in the assembly of 30 S subunits in vivo is discussed.
