Popis: Myosin mRNP particles were purified using metrizamide buoyant density gradient centrifugation. This mRNP particle contains only the 26S myosin mRNA and, therefore, is a purified mRNP with regard to mRNA composition. A protein fraction, eluting from DEAE-cellulose between 0.15M KC l and 0.28M KC l , was iso=lated from the purified myosin mRNP particle. A significant stimulation of myosin heavy chain synthesis is observed when the isolated fraction is added to an unfractionated wheat germ cell-free system containing myosin mRNA. This protein fraction was found to have no effect on the translation of TMV RNA. In addition, this protein fraction does not bind TMV RNA, but is associated with myosin mRNA during translation.
