TL;DR
Evidence is presented that during incubation of reticulocytes in the presence of NaF, polyribosome dissociation to 80S ribosomes and ribosomal subunits proceeds by simple first-order kinetics for polyribsomes of all sizes, suggesting that this process is not a reversal of the process of dissociation.

The results indicate that many of the aggregated ribosomes contain messenger RNA, but are not receptive to added messenger RNA; whereas many ofThe unaggregated ribsomes do not contain messengerRNA,but are receptive toadded messenger RNA molecules.

The poly U-directed† synthesis of polyphenylalanine in the cell-free system from Escherichia coli is used as a model system in which to investigate the interaction of messenger RNA with ribosomes and it is shown that both the 50 s and the 30 s ribosome are necessary for polypeptide synthesis.

The sum of the evidence supports the current hypothesis that protein synthesis in bacteria occurs on polyribosomes, each composed of a number of ribosomes serviced by a molecule of M-RNA; the functioning complexes may be stabilized on the cell membrane.

The fate of the protein-synthesizing system in rabbit reticulocytes as they mature to erythrocytes has been examined and evidence indicates that the process of maturation involves primarily the loss of total ribosomal material rather than a sequential breakdown of polyribosomes to 80 S particles.

The formation of active ribosomal aggregates in the newly fertilized eggs is a strictly energy-requiring process, initiated by the cortical reaction, and presumably under the influence of messenger RNA.
