B) SDS-page stained with Coomassie brilliant blue showing the distribution of proteins from each fraction of the sucrose gradient from mouse and rat brains. Equal volumes of resuspended ethanol precipitates (fractions 1-10) and resuspended pellet were used. C) Average UV absorbance from fractions 1-10 and pellet from WT (Red) and FMR1- (blue) preparations (Error bars are S.D., N=3). D) Representative electron microscopy of WT and FMR1- ribosome clusters from fraction 5/6 and pellet. Scale bar is 200 nm). E) Representative immunoblots of fractions (as defined in A) for WT and FMR1- mice. For each blot, 1/100th of the Starter, 1/10th of Fraction 5/6 and 1/20th of the pellet fraction were loaded. F) Quantification of differences in enrichment between WT and FMR1-. Levels of proteins were determined from scans of immunoblots (see methods). Enrichment is defined by the ratio of level of protein (see Methods) between Fraction 5/6 and Pellet. For S6, the ratio of WT enrichment to FMR1- enrichment was calculated for each blot and the average calculated (N=8). For all the other RBPs, the WT and FMR1- enrichment were normalized to the S6 enrichment for that preparation and the normalized values were used to calculate the difference in enrichment between WT and FMR1- (UPF1, n=8, Stau2, n=8, PurA, n=3, G3BP1 (n=3), ZBP1 (N=3), hnRNPA2/B1 (N=3). Error bars are S.D. A one sample T-test against 1 was used to test significance with Bonferroni correction for multiple tests. No value reached p< 0.05.

Single particle analysis image processing workflow.
The cryo-EM dataset obtained from the pellet fraction after purification in high-magnesium buffer and RNase I treatment was subjected to the image-processing workflow shown in the figure. The diagram shows the main image processing steps performed on this dataset and the two main ribosome populations identified by the image classification approaches. The resolutions for the consensus maps and for each subunit in the maps obtained through local refinement are also indicated.

Resolution analysis of the two major classes of 80S ribosomes in the Granule Fraction purified under high magnesium conditions.
Consensus cryo-EM maps (left panels) were initially calculated for class 1 (A) and class 2 (B) from the RNase I-treated pellet Fraction purified under high magnesium buffer conditions. These maps were subsequently refined by local refinement by dividing the 80S ribosome into two major bodies, the 60S and the 40S particles. The top panels in (A) and (B) show the local resolution analysis of the 80S consensus and composite maps obtained using local refinement. Maps are colored according to their local resolution using the color coding indicated in the scale bars. The Fourier shell correlation (FSC) curves for the consensus maps and each one of the subunits after the maps were subjected to local refinement are shown for class 1 and 2. For each class, we show the following FSC plots: ‘No mask’, ‘Loose’, ‘Tight’, and ‘Corrected’. These plots were calculated as described in the Methods section. We used a FSC threshold of 0.143 to report the overall resolution of the maps. The ‘Viewing direction distribution’ plot in panels (A) and (B) show the orientation distribution of the particles contributing to the cryo-EM map for each one of the classes. These plots are 2D histograms that show the number of particles with a viewing direction at a particular elevation/azimuth bin. The number of particles can be inferred by the color code scale bar to the right of each plot.

The mRNAs found to be resistant to ribosome run-off (Shah et al, 2020) were divided into two sets consisting of mRNAs that are also FMRP targets (identified in Maurin et al, 2018 or Darnell et al., 2011) or not.
