The cytoplasmic ribosomal proteins of Microsporum canis were characterised in basic–acidic and basic–SDS two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis systems. The small subunit contained 28 proteins and the large subunit 38 proteins. The molecular weights of these proteins were in the range of 32 500 to 7600 and 48 000 to 11 000 in the small and large subunits, respectively. The 80S ribosomes showed 65 and 66 protein spots in basic–acidic and basic–SDS gel systems, respectively.

Escherichia coli ribosomes were treated with a number of different aldehydes of various sizes in the presence of NaBH4. After incorporation of either 3H or 14C, the ribosomal proteins were separated by two-dimensional polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis and the extent of alkylation of the lysine residues in each protein was measured. The same pattern of alkylation was observed with the four reagents used, namely formaldehyde, acetone, benzaldehyde and 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzaldehyde. Every protein in 30S and 50S subunits was modified, although there was considerable variation in the degree of alkylation of individual proteins. A topographical classification of ribosomal proteins is presented, based on the degree of exposure of lysine residues. The data indicate that every protein of the ribosome has at least one lysine residue exposed at or near the surface of the ribonucleo-protein complex.
