Two classes of translation control RNA (tcRNA) have been isolated from embryonic chick muscle. One of these classes, the tcRNA isolated from messenger ribonucleoprotein particles (mRNP-tcRNA), is effective in inhibiting the translation of mRNP-mRNA while having little if any effect on polysomal mRNA. The other class, polysome-tcRNA, has no effect on mRNP-mRNA while it stimulates the translation of polysomal mRNA. The mRNP tcRNA contains approximately 50 percent uridylate residues and forms small but stable hybrids with poly (A), while polysome-tcRNA contains fewer uridylate residues and is much less effective in forming a hybrid with poly (A). A proposed model concerning the role of these two classes of tcRNA in the regulation of protein synthesis is presented.
已从鸡胚胎肌肉中分离出两类翻译控制RNA(tcRNA)。其中一类是从信使核糖核蛋白颗粒(mRNP-tcRNA)中分离出的tcRNA,它能有效抑制mRNP-mRNA的翻译,而对多聚核糖体mRNA几乎没有影响。另一类是多聚核糖体-tcRNA,它对mRNP-mRNA没有影响,但能刺激多聚核糖体mRNA的翻译。mRNP tcRNA含有约50%的尿苷酸残基,并能与聚腺苷酸(poly (A))形成小而稳定的杂交体,而多聚核糖体-tcRNA含有的尿苷酸残基较少,与聚腺苷酸形成杂交体的效率也低得多。本文提出了一个关于这两类tcRNA在蛋白质合成调控中作用的模型。
