-
We hypothesized that the protein can be a ribonucleoprotein, RNP, and the remaining mass is that of the nucleic acid component.
-
Briefly, proteins destined for transport possess N-terminal signal peptides that are recognized by the ribonucleoprotein Signal Recognition Particle; association of the SRP-nascent polypeptide peptide with the translating ribosome causes a pausing, which is released upon “docking” with the transport apparatus on the surface of the endoplasmic reticulum.

Philip Siekevitz joined our laboratory in 1955 and together we showed that Claude's microsomes were fragments of the endoplasmic reticulum (as postulated by Claude in 1948) and that the ribosomes were ribonucleoprotein particles.
-
In concomitance with transcription and pre-mRNA processing, a dynamic repertoire of proteins are recruited to package mRNA forming the messenger ribonucleoprotein particle (mRNP).
