  • Title: Microsomal components in relation to amino acid incorporation by preparations from the developing rat brain.
    Author: Lim L, Adams DH.
    Journal: Biochem J; 1967 Jul; 104(1):229-38. PubMed ID: 6035514.
    Abstract:
    1. After incorporation of [(14)C]valine in vitro, cerebral microsomes were separated into membrane-bound and free ribosomes by sucrose-density-gradient centrifugation. 2. In preparations from both 4-day-old and adult rats, free and bound ribosomes incorporated [(14)C]valine. Free ribosomes could be found as polysomes, which were highly active. 3. Microsomes labelled with [(14)C]valine in vitro were fractionated after deoxycholate treatment into a preliminary sediment, sedimented at 105000g (5min.), and ribonucleoprotein particles, sedimented at 150000g (70min.), to determine the role of membrane-bound ribosomes. In the adult the ribonucleoprotein particles retained most of the radioactivity, whereas in the young the preliminary sediment was as highly labelled as the ribonucleoprotein particles. 4. The labelled preliminary sediment from young preparations was both ribonuclease- and deoxycholate-resistant, and the nature of this material is discussed in terms of a possible structural component of microsomal membranes.
