Abstract:
Ribosomes and polyribosomes were prepared from bovine thyroid glands. Single ribosomes were similar to those from other mammalian tissues. The distribution of polyribosomes was also similar to that in other tissues. Despite attention to problems of mechanical, enzymatic and chemical breakage, bovine thyroid cells were found to have very few polyribosomes larger than 35 ribosomes, determined by electron microscopy. The heavy fractions consisted in the main of polyribosomes composed of 20 to 30 ribosomes, which are substantially smaller than predicted from the chain molecular weight of the thyroglobulin subunit (165,000) and the MW/ribosome ratio of 3–4000 estimated for other proteins.
