Abstract: | It is known that insulin treatment increases the rate of protein synthesis in many cells and tissues and that it causes changes in the distribution of ribosomes between free (FP), cytoskeletal-bound (CBP) and membrane-bound polysome (MBP) populations. This paper concerns an analysis of the pattern of proteins in high-salt extracts of FP, CBP and MBP isolated from Krebs II ascites and MPC-11 cells. A combined detergent/salt extraction procedure was used to isolate the three fractions of polysomes from control cells and from cells following short-term stimulation with insulin. There were differences in the protein patterns in the individual fractions and changes occurred after insulin stimulation. |
