Functionally active poly(A)-containing mRNA was isolated from tachyzoites of the RH strain of Toxoplasma gondii. The T. gondii mRNA was capable of directing the synthesis of proteins in a wheat germ in vitro translation system, but not in a cell free system derived from rabbit reticulocyte lysate. Efficient translation in the wheat germ system required spermine and exogenous tRNA. Amino acid incorporation was maximal at 110 mM K+ and 1.8 mM Mg2+. Tachyzoite antigens synthesized in vitro were immunoprecipitated with T. gondii antibodies from rabbits, mice and humans. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of immunoprecipitated polypeptides yielded patterns that differed according to antibody source, but all T. gondii antibody preparations reacted with a translation product with an apparent molecular weight of 24 000.
从刚地弓形虫RH株速殖子中分离出具有功能活性的含多聚腺苷酸的mRNA。刚地弓形虫mRNA能够在小麦胚体外翻译系统中指导蛋白质合成,但不能在源自兔网织红细胞裂解物的无细胞系统中指导蛋白质合成。在小麦胚系统中高效翻译需要精胺和外源性tRNA。在110 mM K⁺和1.8 mM Mg²⁺时氨基酸掺入量最大。体外合成的速殖子抗原用来自兔、小鼠和人类的刚地弓形虫抗体进行免疫沉淀。免疫沉淀多肽的十二烷基硫酸钠-聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳产生的图谱因抗体来源而异,但所有刚地弓形虫抗体制剂都与一种表观分子量为24000的翻译产物发生反应。
