Transfer RNA, isolated from adult chicken liver and from the membranes associated with the 5- to 6-day embryo, stimulated hemoglobin formation by de-embryonated chick blastodiscs explanted at the 5-somite stage onto medium containing a high concentration of actinomycin D. Preparations acylated specifically with alanine retained this biological activity when oxidized with periodate. The activity of preparations charged with amino acid mixtures lacking alanine was destroyed by periodate treatment.A minor species, representing less than 1% of the total, was largely resolved from the bulk of the alanine-specific tRNAs of chick liver by serial chromatography on benzoylated DEAE-cellulose. The isolated fraction contained the component which stimulated hemoglobin formation by blastodiscs explanted onto medium containing a high concentration of actinomycin.

Distribution Of Components

The transfer RNA complement of 5- to 6-day chick embryos was compared with that of the associated membranes by chromatography of preparations of aminoacyl-tRNAs on columns of benzoylated diethyl-aminoethylcellulose. Profiles of all aminoacyl-tRNAs were determined under conditions selected for emphasis on the region containing a component believed to play a role in regulating onset of rapid hemoglobin synthesis in the blood islands of young blastodiscs. Differences in profile were observed only for alanyl- and glutamyl-tRNAs. A marked quantitative change in the distribution of components in the complement of glutamyl-tRNAs was in the converse direction of that required for increase in content of putative regulator and was not further investigated.Small reproducible differences in the profiles of alanyl-tRNAs were further investigated and were shown to be due to a marked increase in the content of a distinct minor component of the alanyl-tRNA complement of the membranes relative to that of the embryo.
