Abstract: | 1. Translation of poly(A) RNA extracted from the nervous tissue of locusts in a reticulocyte lysate system led to polypeptides with a broad spectrum of molecular weights. 2. Using anti-locust acetylcholine receptor (AChR) antisera, polypeptides with a molecular weight of about 50,000 were immunoprecipitated. These peptides comprised about 0.3% of the total translation products. 3. Cotranslational incubation with pancreatic rough microsomes resulted in a glycosylated 60,000-dalton immunoprecipitate. 4. Density-gradient analysis of in vitro synthesized and glycosylated receptor polypeptides indicated that no assembly of subunits had taken the place under the in vitro conditions. |
