Abstract:	Photoinduced cross-linking of Escherichia coli 70 S ribosomes with [3H]puromycin has led to the labeling of ribosomal proteins S7, S14, S18, L18, and L29. Proteolytic fragmentation of these proteins and separation of the peptide mixtures by C18 reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography resulted in six puromycin-labeled peptides which were applied to sequence analysis. The following peptides were found labeled: Pro1-Lys10 of S7, Ala28-Lys46 and Ala7-Lys11 of S14, Asp24-Lys29 of S18, Tyr64-Lys68 of L18, and Thr55-Lys60 of L29. For the first time the molecular environment of an antibiotic in the procaryotic ribosome is presented at the peptide level.
