Synthesis of delta crystallin from embryonic chick lens messenger ribonucleoprotein complex.
A single, major 21 S messenger ribonucleoprotein (mRNP complex) was isolated and purified by sucrose gradient centrifugation after EDTA treatment of high salt washed polysomes from 15 day embryonic chick lenses. A 17 S mRNA was released from the 21 S subunit of delta crystallin. Similar results were obtained with the 17 S mRNA released from the 21 S mRNP complex.
