[In vitro translation of RNA extracted from corpuscules of Stannius of the eel (Anguilla anguilla); identification of the precursor of parathyrin in the corpuscules of Stannius (PCS)].
Corpuscles of Stannius (CS) of Teleosts secrete a PTH like hormone (Parathyrin of CS: PCS) which is involved in calcium metabolism by acting mainly at the gill level. Translated products encoded by mRNA extracted from Eel Corpuscles of Stannius and among these, translated products immunoprecipitated by anti b-PTH immunserum were compared to the products synthetized during incubation of the glands with labelled methionine. The analysis was performed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and fluorography. Biosynthesis of the PCS involves a mRNA encoding for a 45 kD precursor which is immunoprecipitated by anti b-PTH immunserum and totally displaced from antibody, either by 1-34 h-PTH or by purified PCS.
