Cell free translation of chicken calcitonin messenger RNA.
The primary step of calcitonin biosynthesis was studied in a normal organ: chicken ultimobranchial gland, a tissue particularly rich in calcitonin secretory cells. Poly(A)-rich RNA was extracted and purified from ultimobranchial organs and translated in a reticulocyte lysate in the presence of labelled methionine. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of specific immunoprecipitates revealed a majo...
متن کاملDownregulation of calcitonin receptor mRNA expression by calcitonin during human osteoclast-like cell differentiation.
Calcitonin inhibits both osteoclast formation and bone resorption, and is a primary treatment for patients with hypercalcemia and increased bone turnover. However, the clinical utility of calcitonin is limited because patients become refractory to calcitonin after several days (the calcitonin "escape phenomenon"). The molecular basis for calcitonin "escape" is unclear. To determine the regulato...
متن کاملGlucagon precursors identified by immunoprecipitation of products of cell-free translation of messenger RNA.
Polyadenylated RNA extracted from anglerfish islets was translated in a wheat germ cell-free system containing [35S]methionine in the presence and absence of microsomal membranes prepared from a canine pancreas. Labeled translation products were analyzed by immunoprecipitation with an antiserum to porcine glucagon, followed by electrophoresis of the translation products and immunoprecipitated p...
متن کاملPre - proparathyroid hormone identified by cell - free translation of messenger RNA from hyperplastic human parathyroid tissue.
An 8-15S fraction of RNA isolated from hyperplastic human parathyroid tissue (primary chief-cell hyperplasia) and translated in a cell-free extract of wheat germ directs the synthesis of a protein that shares antigenic determinants and tryptic peptides with parathyroid hormone and its previously recognized immediated precursor, proparathyroid hormone. In addition, the protein contains tryptic p...
متن کاملSelective inhibition of cell-free translation by oligonucleotides targeted to a mRNA hairpin structure.
Using an in vitro selection approach we have previously isolated oligodeoxy aptamers that can bind to a DNA hairpin structure without disrupting the double-stranded stem. We report here that these oligomers can bind to the RNA version of this hairpin, mostly through pairing with a designed 6 nt anchor. The part of the aptamer selected against the DNA hairpin did not increase stability of the RN...
