title: [Hormonal induction of tyrosine aminotransferase and RNA synthesis in the cells of Morris hepatoma strain 7777].
abstract: The transfer of Morris hepatoma cells induced by the hormone within 10-60 min in to a hormone-free medium is associated with the augmentation of tyrosine aminotransferase synthesis. The kinetics of this process does not differ from that of the hormone-induced enzyme. The return of tyrosine aminotransferase synthesis to the basal level occurs 15-20 hours after the hormone withdrawal from the medium, although the concentration of the intranuclear hormone sharply decreases already after 3 hours. It was demonstrated that the presence in the hepatoma cell nuclei of 20-25% of the initially bound hormone for at least 20 hours after the cell transfer to the hormone-free medium is not sufficient for maintaining a high level of tyrosine aminotransferase gene expression. Using two-dimensional electrophoresis of 3H-labeled hepatoma cell proteins, it was demonstrated that the observed high activity of tyrosine aminotransferase is due to the de novo synthesis of enzyme molecules rather than to the existence of preformed long-living tyrosine aminotransferase molecules inside the cell. Study of [14C]uridine incorporation into non-ribosomal nuclear RNA of hepatoma cells showed a long-term presence of the label in the RNA throughout the chase experiment. It was assumed that the high activity of the enzyme for 10-15 hours after the hormone release from the hepatoma cell nuclei is due to the accumulation in the nuclei of long-living pre-mRNA molecules synthesized after the hormone addition to the cells and during the first hours after the cell transfer to the hormone-free medium.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
