An Efficient mRNA‐Dependent Translation System from Reticulocyte Lysates

PELHAM, Hugh R. B., JACKSON, Richard J.·1976·European Journal of Biochemistry

Abstract

A simple method is described for converting a standard rabbit reticulocyte cell‐free extract (lysate) into an mRNA‐dependent protein synthesis system. The lysate is preincubated with CaCl 2 and micrococcal nuclease, and then excess ethyleneglycol‐bis(2‐aminoethylether)‐N,N′‐tetraacetic acid is added to chelate the Ca 2+ and inactivate the nuclease. Lysates treated in this way have negligible endogenous amino acid incorporation activity, but 75% of the activity of the original lysate can be recovered by the addition of globin mRNA. The efficiency utilisation of added mRNA and the sensitivity of the system are both very high. No residual nuclease activity could be detected, and the tRNA is functionally unimpaired. Several different species of mRNA have been shown to be translated efficiently into full‐sized products of the expected molecular weight up to about 200 000, and there is no detectable accumulation of incomplete protein products. The efficient translation of RNA from two plant viruses (tobacco mosaic virus and cowpea mosaic virus) required heterologous tRNA.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
