Updated project metadata. Characterization of the riboproteome composition in quiescent cells and post-translational reactivation. To characterize ribosome heterogeneity during the exit from quiescence, the protein composition of ribosomal particles from stationary phase and nutrient-stimulated cells was assessed. A label-free quantitative mass spectrometry strategy was taken to compare quiescent yeast cells with cells that had been nutrient stimulated for 30 and 60 min. To this end, crude extracts from these cells were subjected to sucrose gradient centrifugation and three fractions free (F); monosome (M=80S + 60S + 40S) and polysome (P) were analyzed by nano-HPLC-MS/MS. A total of 528 proteins were identified.
