Iodoaminoacid content (iodothyronines, T3 and T4, and iodotyrosines, MIT and DIT) has been determined in enzymatic hydrolysates of thyroglobulin Tg 19S of different iodine content (0.3-0.9%) isolated from equilibrium labeled rats. Preparative equilibrium centrifugation in RbCl density gradients of pure thyroglobulin was used to obtain protein fractions of largely different iodine content (0.2-1.2% I). Thin layer chromatography of total hydrolysates demonstrated that the distribution of iodoaminoacids depends on the total iodine content of each fraction. It is concluded, in agreement with previous results, that the native structure of Tg is an important factor in the regulation of hormone biosynthesis and that even at low iodination levels of Tg. T3 and T4 are synthesized.
