  • Title: [The regulator effect of fructose-1,6-diphosphate and cyclic adenosine monophosphate on protein and RNA synthesis by isolated mitochondria].
    Author: Neĭfakh SA, Puchkova LV.
    Journal: Mol Biol (Mosk); 1975; 9(3):341-50. PubMed ID: 176573.
    Abstract:
    Effects of fructoso-1,6-diphosphate (FDP) and cyclic 3',5'-adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) on various steps of protein biosynthesis in isolated rat liver mitochondria were investigated. It was shown that FDP repressed and cAMP depressed the incorporation of both 14C-amino acid and [3H]uridine into mitochondrial polysomes. Cyclic 2',3'-adenosine monophosphate, a physiologically inactive analog of cAMP, had no depressing effect on the polysomes formation in mitochondria. Effects of FDP and cAMP on the synthesis of mitochondrial RNA at different periods of incubation (5, 10, 30 min) were studied. It was found that FDP repressed the high molecular weight mitochondrial RNA biosynthesis and prevented the mRNA formation. cAMP derepressed the FDP effect. Rifampicin prevented the derepressing action of cAMP. The rate of protein synthesis in the translation system isolated from mitochondria was affected neither by FDP nor by cAMP. Authors concluded that in the mammalian mitochondria the repression of protein synthesis by a glycolytic metabolite (FDP) and its derepression by cAMP represented regulatory mechanism acting at the transcription level like catabolite repression-derepression in microorganisms.
