Abstract

Juvenile visceral steatosis (jvs) mice from the C3H-H-2 degrees strain have markedly low levels of all the hepatic urea cycle enzymes (Imamura et al. (1990) FEBS Lett. 260, 119-121). The steady state levels of messenger RNA for the four urea cycle enzymes examined and also for albumin and serine dehydratase were severely reduced in the liver. The levels of mRNA for other liver-specific enzymes including aldolase B and phospho enol pyruvate carboxykinase did not vary significantly from normal littermates. As for extrahepatic expression of the urea cycle enzymes, only argininosuccinate synthetase in the kidney was decreased. Nuclear run-on experiments showed reduced transcription of the corresponding genes, which mostly accounts for the low mRNA levels. Furthermore, the time-course of mRNA accumulation from 5 days of age showed that the developmental induction of hepatic carbamyl phosphate synthetase and argininosuccinate synthetase mRNAs was strongly suppressed. These results suggest that jvs affects not only the regulation of the tissue-specific expression of the urea cycle enzymes but also the regulation of their developmental induction.
