title: Functional differences in protein synthesis between rat liver tRNA and tRNA from Novikoff hepatoma.
abstract: Synthesis of ovalbumin in fragmented oviduct magnum explants of immature, estrogen-stimulated chicks has been studied in the presence of exogenous tRNA. tRAN from Novikoff hepatoma specifically inhibited ovalbumin synthesis, determined by precipitation with antisera. In addition, the major protein(s) synthesized in the presence of hepatoma tRNA had higher electrophoretic mobility than ovalbumin, as shown by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. tRNAs from rat liver, rooster liver, and hen oviduct did not affect ovalbumin synthesis, although oviduct tRNA is stimulatory during the earlier stages of estrogen stimulation.
