Popis: Several protein synthesis inhibitors were as effective as the inducers hydrocortisone or cyclic AMP in elevating rat liver tyrosine aminotransferase mRNA levels when assayed in the wheat germ cell-free translational system. Cycloheximide, emetine, or puromycin increased this mRNA activity 6- to 7-fold within 4 h after in vivo administration. No increase in total hepatic mRNA levels or tryptophan oxygenase mRNA was found after treatment with these protein synthesis inhibitors. Furthermesults suggest that a short lived protein may specifically regulate the level of functional hepatic tyrosine aminotransferase mRNA or that ongoing translation of this mRNA is required for its degradation.
