The characterization of phosphoseryl tRNA from lactating bovine mammary gland.

چکیده
BD-cellulose and RPC-5 chromatography of tRNA isolated from lactating bovine mammary gland showed the presence of four seryl-tRNA isoacceptors. The species, tRNA IV Ser, with the strongest affinity for BD-cellulose (required ethanol in the elution buffer) could be phosphorylated in the presence of serine, [gamma-32 P]-ATP, seryl-tRNA synthetase and phosphotransferase activity from the same tissue. O-Phosphoserine was identified as the 32P-labelled product after mild alkaline hydrolysis of this aminoacylated tRNA. Pancreatic ribonuclease treatment of the aminoacylated tRNA yielded a labelled product which was identified as phosphoseryladenosine. These results indicated there is a specific phosphoseryl tRNA species in lactating bovine mammary gland. It appears that the formation of phosphoseryl-tRNA proceeds by enzymic phosphorylation of seryl-tRNA.

Differences in the ribosomes prepared from lactating and non-lactating bovine mammary gland.
1. Ribosomes prepared from bovine lactating mammary gland are able to synthesize protein, whereas similar preparations from non-lactating glands are not. Washing the ribosome suspensions through a medium containing 0.5m-ammonium chloride enhanced their ability to incorporate phenylalanine into polyphenylalanine. 2. Ribosomes isolated from non-lactating bovine mammary gland, in contrast with tho...

1. The enzyme fraction obtained from the pH5 enzyme of non-lactating bovine mammary gland between 40 and 100% ammonium sulphate saturation markedly inhibited the AMP-incorporating activity of rat liver nucleotide-incorporating enzyme. This inhibitory effect has been attributed to high nuclease activity which can be partially removed by adsorption of the enzyme fraction on to calcium phosphate g...

1. pH5 enzyme from non-lactating bovine mammary gland was found to contain potent inhibitors of protein synthesis in the rat liver cell-free system. These inhibitors affect (a) formation of aminoacyl-tRNA where tRNA represents transfer RNA, (b) transfer of labelled amino acids from rat liver amino[(14)C]acyl-tRNA to protein in rat liver polyribosomes, and (c) incorporation of (14)C-labelled ami...

Glucose uptake in the mammary gland is a rate-limiting step in milk synthesis. To study glucose transporters in the bovine mammary gland, the erythrocyte-type glucose transporter (GLUT1) and the insulin-responsive glucose transporter (GLUT4) proteins were assessed by Western blotting and immunohistochemical staining, using polyclonal antibodies against the C-terminal peptide of GLUT1 and GLUT4....

In 1970, a kinase activity that phosphorylated a minor species of seryl-tRNA to form phosphoseryl-tRNA was found in rooster liver [Maenpaa, P. H. & Bernfield, M. R. (1970) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 67, 688-695], and a minor seryl-tRNA that decoded the nonsense UGA was detected in bovine liver. The phosphoseryl-tRNA and the minor UGA-decoding seryl-tRNA were subsequently identified as selenocys...
