Fecha de publicación: | dic-1991 | Editor: | Springer Nature | Citación: | Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry 108(2): 105-112 (1991) | Resumen: | In contrast to what it is observed during starvation, animals maintained on a protein-free isocaloric diet showed an increase in the rate of hepatic peptide chain elongation as determined by measuring the ribosomal transit time in vivo. The loss of body nitrogen per se is insufficient to generate the signal(s) which arrests hepatic peptide chain elongation. This observation suggests that it is an increase in gluconeogenic demand, and not the negative nitrogen balance, which is implicated in determining reciprocal changes in the rate of protein synthesis. The rate of protein synthesis, as expressed per mg of DNA, does not change in protein deprived animals, while the RNA to DNA ratio decreased. These data also agree with a higher ribosomal efficiency at the elongation step. The animals maintained on a protein-free diet have a decreased hepatic content of protein and an increased concentration of valine, indicating an increased proteolysis. The enhanced rate of polypeptide elongation observed in animals kept on a protein-free diet was accompanied by decreases in the state of aggregation of polyribosomes and in the ability of liver extracts to form eIF-2 catalyzed ternary complexes. These observations suggest that the activity of the hepatic initiation factor in vivo may not be rate limiting. The administration of alanine in vivo to animals maintained on a protein-free diet showed a preferential effect in reaggregating polyribosomes. This action was neither accompanied by detectable effects on the rate of eIF-2 catalyzed ternary complexes formation nor by significant changes in the rate of elongation. It is concluded that factors other than eIF-2 activity or the rate of polypeptide elongation must be controlling the hepatic polyribosomal state of aggregation. | Versión del editor: | https://doi.org/10.1007/BF00233114 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/226143 | DOI: | 10.1007/BF00233114 | ISSN: | 0300-8177 | E-ISSN: | 1573-4919 |
