[RNA-binding proteins of Rana temporaria frog oocytes. Isolation by methods of affinity chromatography and radioactive labelling in vitro].

A fraction of RNA-binding proteins from the maturating frog oocytes of Rana temporaria was isolated by the method of affinity chromatography on poly-U coupled to Sepharose. These proteins were labelled with high activity by the method of reductive methylation using 3H-sodium borohydride. It was shown that during the isolation and labelling there is no loss or inactivation of any RNA-binding protein fraction which is essential for informosome-like particles formation. The molecular masses of polypeptide chains in the isolated RNA-binding protein fraction were determined.
