Abstract: | Nuclear membrane fraction of rat liver is able to incorporate 14C-leucine into its proteins . The incorporation of 14C-leucine into the nuclear membrane fraction was almost completely inhibited by chloramphenicol, but the inhibition by cycloheximide and puromycin was not so remarkable. RNase and DNase were not effective. The incorporation was also inhibited by several reagents known to interfere with energy metabolism. These characteristics of the incorporation of 14C-leucine by the nuclear membrane fraction are quite similar to those of the incorporation by nuclei isolated from rat liver and mitochondrial fraction, but seem to be different from those of the ordinary protein synthetic system in microsomal fraction. 14C-Leucine was preferentially incorporated into intrapolypeptide or C-terminal residues but not into N-terminal residues. Acrylamide gel electrophoresis showed that three protein species were mainly labelled. The incorporating activity of the nuclear membrane fraction obtained from regenerating liver 17 h after partial hepatectomy showed 220 % of the control. The possibility that the contaminated mitochondrial fraction might be responsible for the incorporation of 14C-leucine by the nuclear membrane fraction was ruled out. |
