In the livers of 5-days-protein-depleted mice there is a decrease of 47% of the ribosome mass. When these animals are fed with an adequate diet, ribosome content is restored to the normal value after 1 day of re-feeding. The mechanisms underlying this phenomenon were studied. It was found that: (1) the activity of RNA polymerase I in the nuclei of livers from re-fed animals showed an enhancement of about 2-fold compared with the activity in normal and protein-depleted liver nuclei; (2) ribosome degradation, measured by the disappearance of radioactivity from ribosomal proteins previously labelled by the administration of NaH14CO3 to the mice, stopped during the first day after re-feeding.
在蛋白质缺乏5天的小鼠肝脏中,核糖体质量减少了47%。当给这些动物喂食充足的食物后,再喂食1天后核糖体含量恢复到正常值。对这一现象的潜在机制进行了研究。结果发现:(1)与正常和蛋白质缺乏的肝脏细胞核相比,再喂食动物肝脏细胞核中RNA聚合酶I的活性增强了约2倍;(2)通过给小鼠注射NaH14CO3预先标记核糖体蛋白后,核糖体蛋白放射性消失来衡量的核糖体降解,在再喂食后的第一天就停止了。
