چکیده
The incorporation of the cytokinin N(6)-benzyladenine into tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) callus tRNA and rRNA preparations isolated from tissue grown on medium containing either N(6)-benzyladenine-8-(14)C or N(6)-benzyladenine-8-(14)C: benzene-(3)H(G) has been examined. N(6)-benzyladenine was incorporated into both the tRNA and rRNA preparations as the intact base. Over 90% of the radioactive N(6)-benzyladenosine recovered from the RNA preparations was associated with the rRNA. Purification of the crude rRNA by either MAK chromatography or Sephadex G-200 gel filtration had no effect on the N(6)-benzyladenosine content of the RNA preparation. The distribution of N(6)-benzyladenosine moieties in tobacco callus tRNA fractionated by BD-cellulose chromatography did not correspond to the distribution of ribosylzeatin activity. N(6)-benzyladenosine was released from the rRNA preparation by treatment with venom phosphodiesterase and phosphatase, ribonuclease T(2) and phosphatase, or ribonuclease T(2) and a 3'-nucleotidase. N(6)-benzyladenosine was not released from the RNA preparation by treatment with either ribonuclease T(2) or phosphatase alone or by successive treatment with ribonuclease T(2) and a 5'-nucleotidase. Brief treatment of the rRNA preparation with ribonuclease T(1) and pancreatic ribonuclease converted the N(6)-benzyladenosine moieties into an ethyl alcohol soluble form. On the basis of these and earlier results, the N(6)-benzyladenosine recovered from the tobacco callus RNA preparations appears to be present as a constituent of RNA and not as a nonpolynucleotide contaminant.

Incorporation of mevalonic Acid into ribosylzeatin in tobacco callus ribonucleic Acid preparations.
The incorporation of (14)C-2-mevalonic acid into transfer RNA and ribosomal RNA (high molecular weight RNA) in rapidly growing, cytokinin-dependent tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum var. Wisconsin No. 38) callus cultures has been investigated. Approximately 40% of the label incorporated into transfer RNA was present in a ribonucleoside with chromatographic properties identical to those of cis-ribosylz...
متن کاملAmino acid incorporation and aminoacyl transfer in a wheat embryo system.
An amino acid-incorporating system has been obtained from ungerminated wheat embryos. This system has very low endogenous activity, but phenylalanine incorporation can be stimulated by the addition of polyuridylic acid. The poly U-stimulated system is similar to those from other sources in that it requires ribosomal particles, supernatant fluid, soluble ribonucleic acid, adenosine triphosphate,...
متن کاملReaction of ribosome-bound peptidyl transfer ribonucleic acid with aminoacyl transfer ribonucleic acid or puromycin.
Polylysyl transfer ribonucleic acid, free of lysyl-tRNA, has been isolated and its characteristics in an Escherichiu cofi polypeptide-synthesizing system in vitro have been studied. Ribosomes obtained from frozen E. coli cells were washed in 0.5 M NH&l and assayed at MgCla concentrations of at least 0.01 M. Binding of this peptidyl-tRNA to ribosomes occurs in the presence of templates containin...
متن کاملThe effect of chick-liver ribonucleic acid on amino acid-incorporation systems from rat liver.
1. Rat-liver microsomes, ribonucleoprotein particles and a fraction mainly consisting of microsomal membranes were tested for their ability to incorporate amino acids into protein in the presence of ATP, GTP, phosphoenolpyruvate and pyruvate kinase. Addition of polyuridylic acid or of ribonucleic acid from rat-liver nuclei stimulated the incorporating activities. 2. These protein-synthesizing s...
