The RNA oligonucleotides used for crystallization and biochemical assays were as follows:
RPS6 8mer (IDT (Coralville, IA)): 5’ CUUUUCCG 3’
RPS6 42mer (Sigma-Aldrich):
5’ CCUCUUUUCCGUGGCGCCUCGGAGGCGUUCAGCUGCUUCAAG 3’.
G-RPS6 was T7-transcribed from a DNA template to generate the RNA sequence:
5’ GCCUCUUUUCCGUGGCGCCUCGGAGGCGUUCAGCUGCUUCAAG 3’.
RPL32 was T7-transcribed from a DNA template designed with a self-cleaving 5’ hammerhead ribozyme to generate a 5’ C, resulting in the final RNA sequence:
5’ CUCUCUUCCUCGGCGCUGCCUACGGAGGUGGCAGCCAUCUCC 3’.
