Rapidly labeled messenger ribonucleic acid-protein complex of rat liver nuclei.

چکیده
A rapidly labeled 45 S ribonucleoprotein complex has been isolated and characterized from purified rat liver nuclei. The chemical and physical characterization of the nuclear RNA-protein complex revealed the following properties. (a) An RNA component that was identified as messenger RNA on the basis of rapid incorporation of RNA precursors, molecular wieght, nucleotide base composition, and RNADNA hybridization. (b) A protein component, distinct from ribosomal proteins or histones with respect to its electrophoretic properties. (c) An RNA-protein complex different from ribosomal subunits with respect to its structural organization and its nucleic acid to protein ratio. These studies suggest that the 45 S ribonucleoprotein complex does not represent a precursor to cytoplasmic ribosomal subunits but represents a complex of newly synthesized mRNA and specific nuclear proteins. The formation of such a specific mRNA-protein complex within the nucleus could provide a mechanism for the release of mRNA from its DNA template, or the transport of mRNA from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, or both.

The 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...
متن کاملCytosol-modulated transport of messenger RNA from isolated nuclei.
SUMMARY The influence of cytoplasmic factors on the energy-dc pendent release from nuclei of messenger-like RNA in ribonucleoprotein particles (i.e., informosomes) has been investigated in a cell-free system that precludes detectable nuclear lysis. Maximum release of rapidly labeled RNA from the prelabeled nuclei of normal, regenerating, or neo plastic rat liver was observed only when the latte...
متن کاملPhosphorylation of rat liver ribonucleic acid polymerase I by nuclear protein kinases.
Phosphorylation of rat liver RNA polymerase I occurred when intact rat liver nuclei were incubated with [gamma32P]ATP and N6,O2' dibutyryl cyclic 3':5'-AMP. In addition, partially purified RNA polymerase I could be phosphorylated in vitro by an endogenous protein kinase. Phosphorylation by either method was followed by extensive purification of the enzyme. This revealed that 32P remained bound ...
متن کاملDiabetes-induced alterations in the translational activity of specific messenger ribonucleic acids isolated from rat hearts.
During diabetes mellitus, total proteins and ribonucleic acids are significantly decreased in the rat heart, and these parameters can be increased by insulin administration. To determine whether all ribonucleic acids are equally sensitive to insulin, we examined the influence of this hormone on individual translatable ribonucleic acids. Cardiac ribonucleic acid prepared from control, untreated,...
متن کاملSerotonergic neurons are targets for leptin in the monkey.
Leptin is a secretory product of adipocytes that has been shown to affect food intake, metabolism, and reproduction. One site of leptin's action is the central nervous system, where the leptin receptor (Ob-R) messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) and protein are expressed in discrete areas. In both the rat and monkey, Ob-R mRNA has been localized in the Raphe nuclei of the brainstem. Neurons in the...
