Interspecific variations in proteins synthesized by mammalian mitochondria.
The products of mitochondrial protein synthesis in established cell lines of various mammalian species were labelled with [35S]methionine and their number and apparent molecular weights determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide slab gel electrophoresis and fluorography. Proteins synthesized by isolated rat liver mitochondria were labelled with [3H]valine and similarly characterized. Each species had a distinctive pattern of from 10 to 13 mitochondrially synthesized proteins with apparent molecular weights between 10,000 and 50,000. No differences were detected in the number or electrophoretic mobility of the mitochondrially synthesized proteins of SV-40-transformed and nontransformed WI-38 cells.
