Characterization of monosomes produced by aflatoxin B1. 1975

L C Hayes, and F V Plapp, and L L Tilzer, and M Chiga

A single injection of 1.5 mg aflatoxin B1 per kg body weight produced approx. 70% disaggregation of rat liver polysomes into monosomes within 18 h. Isolated monosomes dissociated into 40 S subunits during centrifugation in linear sucrose gradients containing 0.3 M KCI. The 4 S to 5 S molar RNA ratio of the monosomes was calculated to be 0.6, indicating 0.6 tRNA and/or aminoacyl tRNA molecule per ribosome; no peptidyl tRNA was present. These results suggest that a single injection of affatoxin B1 produces monosomes which resemble runoff ribosomes.
