  • Title: Isolation and chracterization of rat-lens messenger RNAs. Comparison of lens proteins, synthesized in lens culture and in homologous and heterologous cell-free systems.
    Author: Cohen LH, Smits DP, Bloemendal H.
    Journal: Eur J Biochem; 1976 Aug 16; 67(2):563-7. PubMed ID: 964258.
    Abstract:
    Messenger RNA has been isolated from rat lens tissue. The mRNA species which codes for the A2 chain of alpha-crystallin, revealed the same extremely high sedimentation value (14S) as the corresponding messenger from calf lens. However, it has been shown that in rat lens the 14-S messenger preparation directs the synthesis of an additional alpha-crystallin chain, designated as alpha-X with an approximate molecular weight of 24000. For comparative purpose crystallin synthesis has also been studied as well in cultured rat lens cells as in the rat lens cell-free system.
