Abstract
Treatment of ox and dog thyroid slices in vitro with either thyrotropin or dibutyryl cyclic AMP elicited a variety of changes in polyribosome distribution. The most marked and consistent responses were decreases in both free and membrane-bound monoribosomes with a concomitant increase in the specific peak of thyroglobulin-synthesizing polyribosomes. On some occasions there was a shift towards heavier aggregates in the free polyribosomes. The increase in the amount of thyroglobulin-synthesizing polyribosomes was not accompanied by a shift in its location on the gradients. These changes were apparent within 30 min of thyrotropin addition and within 60 min of the addition of dibutyryl cyclic AMP. It is suggested that the major initial effect on translation of both thyrotropin and dibutyryl cyclic AMP is to stimulate the recruitment of pre-existing free monoribosomes on to pre-existing unloaded or under-loaded thyroglobulin mRNA molecules.This publication has 20 references indexed in Scilit:
