Whether ribosomal-protein synthesis in Xenopus laevis is autogenously controlled at the translational level as is known to occur in prokaryotes has been studied. For this purpose ribosomal (r) proteins were prepared from X. laevis ribosomal subunits and group fractionated by ion-exchange chromatography. They were then added to an in vitro translation system directed by an oocyte mRNA fraction which contains template activity for r proteins. The synthesized radioactive products were analyzed by 2D gel electrophoresis and compared with controls. Similarly in vivo experiments were performed by microinjection of the fractionated proteins into the cytoplasm of Xenopus oocytes followed by incubation with [35S]methionine for different times. In all the experiments no evident effect of r proteins on the translation of their own mRNA was observed.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D002474 Cell-Free System A fractionated cell extract that maintains a biological function. A subcellular fraction isolated by ultracentrifugation or other separation techniques must first be isolated so that a process can be studied free from all of the complex side reactions that occur in a cell. The cell-free system is therefore widely used in cell biology.

D005786 Gene Expression Regulation Any of the processes by which nuclear, cytoplasmic, or intercellular factors influence the differential control (induction or repression) of gene action at the level of transcription or translation.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
