title: [RNA biosynthesis in mitochondria under conditions of prolonged inhibition of protein biosynthesis in rat liver cytoplasm].
abstract: When cytoplasmic protein synthesis is inhibited by cycloheximide (CHI) in vivo synthesis of water-soluble mitochondrial proteins and of mitochondrial RNA is decreased. These changes measured in isolated rat liver mitochondria are similar to those observed in vivo and correlate with the changes the synthesis of water-soluble proteins in mitochondria. When the cytoplasmic fraction (30,000 g-supernatant) had been added to the mitochondria showing decreased RNA synthesis, the RNA synthesis increased to the control level (the incubation conditions were favourable for the protein transport from microsomes to mitochondria). RNA synthesis in mitochondria was not stimulated by cytoplasmic fractions from the CHI-pretreated rats. After prolonged dialysis these fraction stimulated RNA synthesis even to a greater extent than cytoplasmic fractions from the untreated animals. Mitochondrial RNA polymerase activity (measured in mitochondrial extracts supplemented with exogenous DNA) was higher in extracts of mitochondria from livers of normal rats than in extracts of mitochondria from livers of animals injected with CHI.
