Ribosomes consist of two subunits that, in prokaryotes, sediment as 50S and 30S particles and associate to form a 70S particle, as seen in Figure 10-30a. The eukaryotic counterparts are 60S and 40S for the large and small subunits, and 80S for the complete ribosome (Figure 10-30b).
Ribosomes are typically composed of two subunits: a large subunit and a small subunit. 1  Ribosomal subunits are synthesized in the nucleolus and cross over the nuclear membrane to the cytoplasm through nuclear pores. These two subunits join together when the ribosome attaches to messenger RNA (mRNA) during protein synthesis. Ribosomes along with another RNA molecule, transfer RNA (tRNA), help to translate the protein-coding genes in mRNA into proteins.
