[Studies on protein biosynthesis in the silk gland of Bombyx mori L. silkworm].
The incorporation of (14C) lysine (to characterize the biosynthesis of cellular proteins) and (14C) glycine (for silk fibroin) in free and membrane-bound polyribosomes was studied in fibroin portion of the silk gland of Bombyx mori silkworm in the V instar. It was shown that although the membrane-bound polyribosomes are found in posterior silk gland from the beginning of the V instar, the fibroin biosynthesis in the membranebound polyribosomes takes place predominantly in the second part of the V instar. On the other hand the cellular proteins are synthesized mostly in the free polyribosomes in the first half of the V instar. In the second half of the V instar in the sucrose gradient zone corresponding to free polyribosomes, monoribosomes unable to synthesize protein for the absence of mRNA are present. Nevertheless, these ribosomes isolated from the fibroin part of the silk gland in the end of the V instar do synthesize polyphenylalanine in the presence of poly (U), and aminoacyl-t-RNA-synthetases and tRNA's obtained from the posterior silk gland.
