Translation in vitro of rat liver messenger RNA coding for ligandin (glutathione S-transferase B).

Abstract

Poly(A)-containing rat liver mRNA isolated from animals injected with phenobarbital and uninjected controls was translated efficiently in a wheat-germ system. The synthesis of ligandin (glutathione S-transferase B; glutathione transferase; RX-gluathione R-transferase, EC 2.5.1.18) was detected by immunoprecipitation with a highly purified monospecific ligandin antibody and analysis by sodium dodecyl sulfate/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The extent of incorporation of [35S]methionine into ligandin in the translation system was similar for poly(A)-containing messages from un-infected animals and those treated with phenobarbital.
