Rat alpha 1-fetoprotein mRNA was isolated and purified to apparent homogeneity by means of immunoadsorption and oligo (dT) cellulose affinity chromatography. Purified AFP mRNA migrated as a 21S peak in 2.5% SDS-polyacrylamide gels. The translation product of this mRNA in micrococcal nuclease treated reticulocyte lysate was identified as AFP by specific immunoprecipitation, SDS-gel electrophoresis and tryptic digestion analysis. DNA complimentary to AFP mRNA was synthesized with avian meyloblastosis virus RNA-dependent DNA polymerase. This AFP cDNA was used as a probe to quantitate AFP mRNA in the developing rat liver and to compare the complexity and diversity of AFP mRNA derived from the normal rat liver and Morris hepatoma 7777. We found that the amount of functional AFP mRNA is decreasing during liver development. There is very little, if any, AFP mRNA in the adult rat liver. A high degree of homology between the AFP mRNA sequences of yolk sac and hepatoma was also found.
通过免疫吸附和寡聚(dT)纤维素亲和层析法,分离并纯化大鼠α1-甲胎蛋白信使核糖核酸(mRNA),使其达到明显的均一性。纯化后的甲胎蛋白信使核糖核酸在2.5%十二烷基硫酸钠-聚丙烯酰胺凝胶中迁移为一个21S峰。通过特异性免疫沉淀、十二烷基硫酸钠-凝胶电泳和胰蛋白酶消化分析,确定该信使核糖核酸在微球菌核酸酶处理的网织红细胞裂解物中的翻译产物为甲胎蛋白。用禽成髓细胞瘤病毒RNA依赖性DNA聚合酶合成与甲胎蛋白信使核糖核酸互补的DNA。该甲胎蛋白互补脱氧核糖核酸用作探针,以定量发育中大鼠肝脏中的甲胎蛋白信使核糖核酸,并比较正常大鼠肝脏和莫里斯肝癌7777来源的甲胎蛋白信使核糖核酸的复杂性和多样性。我们发现,在肝脏发育过程中,功能性甲胎蛋白信使核糖核酸的量在减少。成年大鼠肝脏中即使有甲胎蛋白信使核糖核酸,也非常少。还发现卵黄囊和肝癌的甲胎蛋白信使核糖核酸序列之间有高度同源性。
