Abstract excerpt
Ribosomal protein synthesis is regulated by controlling the fraction of mRNA associated with polysomes. It is known that this value changes in different developmental stages during Xenopus embryogenesis or, more generally, with changing cell growth conditions. We present here an analysis of the proportion of mRNA loaded on polysomes, carried out with probes for five different ribosomal proteins on several batches...
