Ribosome profiles of wild-type and ΔrluD::kan mutant strains analyzed at various Mg++ concentrations. Ribosome profiles were performed as described in Materials and Methods. Wild-type and mutant cells were lysed, and gradients run at the Mg++ concentrations (mM) shown for lysis/sedimentation. Twelve A260 units were layered onto 14%–32% sucrose gradients and centrifuged at 22,000 rpm for 19 h at 4°C.
