[Biosynthesis of thyroglobulin in an adult lamprey, Lampetra planeri (Bloch)].
Thyroglobuline (Tg) biosynthesis has been studied in an adult fresh water lamprey Lampetra planeri (Bloch), by injection in coelomic cavity or by in vitro incorporation in follicles of branchial region of various radioactive labels: 125I-, 3H-leucine, 3H-mannose, 3H-galactose, N-acetyl mannosamine and 3H-N-acetylglucosamine. Labelling by all theses substances, present in Tg of mammals, proceeds efficiently in two hours. It has been demonstrated that the cyclostome studied synthetizes a 18 S iodinated glycoprotein analogous to Tg of higher vertebrates by its molecular size. It contains all the same hexose and N-acetyl derivatives of these in its sugar moiety and the same iodinated aminoacids. Purified 18 S Tg of the lamprey has been prepared; it is very poor in iodine (127I) and has a very low T3 and T4 content.
