Vitro Protein

An active in vitro protein-synthesizing system has been developed from Rhodospirillum rubrum grown under either photosynthetic or heterotrophic conditions. A protease activity has been found in both of these systems, and this activity can be readily inactivated by treating the cells with KCl and phenylmethyl sulfonylfluoride. The difference in protein-synthesizing activity between the photosynthetic and the heterotrophic systems has been tested in regard to the requirement of various chemicals and the response to protein synthesis inhibitors or various chemical compounds. It has been concluded that only minor differences in protein-synthesizing activity exist between these two systems.

The Mean

1. The protease activity of the adult Calliphora female measured on the first 5 days after emergence was found to be highly influenced by the diet, the activity of females fed on sugar, water and meat (meat-flies) being much higher than that of females fed only on sugar and water (sugar-flies). 2. The development of the enzyme(s) was found to be controlled by the medial neurosecretory cells (m.n.c.), the mean protease activity of females deprived of their m.n.c. only amounting to one-quarter to one-third of the maximum values for the meat-flies. 3. Implantation of corpora cardiaca-allata (presumably containing m.n.c. hormone) into females without m.n.c. raised the protease activity of these significantly, showing that the influence of the implanted organs must be hormonal. 4. The corpus allatum was found to have a certain, if minor, effect on the protease activity. 5. It is concluded that in Calliphora the eating of meat exerts its effect on the production of protease mainly indirectly by causing liberation of m.n.c. hormone into the blood. 6. As proteases are themselves proteins, the effect of the m.n.c. hormone on the production of proteolytic enzymes by the gut cells must be regarded as an effect on the specific protein synthesis of these cells. There is some evidence that the m.n.c. hormone might be involved in the regulation of protein synthesis in general.

A Cell

The RNA of satellite tobacco necrosis virus (STNV) is a monocistronic messenger that lacks both a 5' cap structure and a 3' poly(A) tail. We show that in a cell-free translation system derived from wheat germ, STNV RNA lacking the 600-nucleotide trailer is translated an order of magnitude less efficiently than full-size RNA. Deletion analyses positioned the translational enhancer domain (TED) within a conserved hairpin structure immediately downstream from the coat protein cistron. TED enhances translation when fused to a heterologous mRNA, but the level of enhancement depends on the nature of the 5' untranslated sequence and is maximal in combination with the STNV leader. The STNV leader and TED have two regions of complementarity. One of the complementary regions in TED resembles picornavirus box A, which is involved in cap-independent translation but which is located upstream of the coding region.
