    Notes: Abstract: Intravenous administration of d-lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) to rabbits results in a transient inhibition of brain protein synthesis in vivo and in vitro. A translational inhibitor that appears in the postribosomal supernatant fraction of cerebral hemispheres following LSD administration was partially purified by gel filtration on Sephadex G-150 and precipitation with 60% ammonium sulfate. This inhibitor, which was proteinaceous, reduced the translational capacity of an initiating cell-free protein synthesis system derived from brain. It also inhibited a messenger RNA-dependent reticulocyte lysate programmed with brain polysomes and a globin-synthesizing reticulocyte lysate system. Addition of the partially purified inhibitor to a brain cell-free protein synthesis system resulted in the decreased formation of ternary complexes as well as 40 and 80S initiation complexes, suggesting that the inhibitor affects an early step in the initiation of protein synthesis in brain.

    Notes: Abstract: An initiating cell-free protein synthesis system derived from brain was utilized to demonstrate that the intravenous injection of d-lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) to rabbits induced a transient inhibition of translation following a brief stimulatory period. Subfractionation of the brain cell-free system into postribosomal supernatant (PRS) and microsome fractions demonstrated that LSD in vivo induced alterations in both of these fractions. In addition to the overall inhibition of translation in the cell-free system, differential effects were noted, i.e., greater than average relative decreases in in vitro labeling of certain brain proteins and relative increases in others. The brain proteins of molecular weights 7SK and 95K, which were increased in relative labeling under conditions of LSD-induced hyperthermia, are similar in molecular weight to two of the major “heat shock” proteins reported in tissue culture systems. Injection of LSD to rabbits at 4°C prevented LSD-induced hyperthermia but behavioral effects of the drug were still apparent. The overall decrease in cell-free translation was still observed but the differential labeling effects were not. LSD appeared to influence cell-free translation in the brain at two dissociable levels: (a) an overall decrease in translation that was observed even in the absence of LSD-induced hyperthermia and (b) differential labeling effects on particular proteins that were dependent on LSD-induced hyperthermia.

    Notes: Abstract: Protein synthesis in the brain is known to be affected by a wide range of treatments. The detailed analysis of the mechanisms that are involved would be facilitated by the development of cell-free translation systems derived from brain tissue. To date, brain cell-free systems have not been fully characterized to demonstrate a capacity for initiation of translation. The following criteria were utilized to demonstrate that a cell-free protein synthesis system derived from rabbit brain was capable of initiation in vitro: (a) sensitivity of cell-free translation to the initiation inhibitor aurintricarboxylic acid (ATA); (b) binding of [35S]Met-tRNAf to 40S and 80S initiation complexes; (c) incorporation of labeled initiation methionine into high-molecular-weight proteins; and (d) the association of labeled exogenous mRNA with polysomes. The optimum conditions for amino acid incorporation in this system were 4 mM-Mg2+, 140 mM-K+, and pH 7.55. Incorporation was dependent on the addition of ATP, GTP, and an energy-generating system. Cell-free protein synthesis reflected the normal process, since a similar spectrum of proteins was synthesized in vitro and in vivo. This initiating cell-free translation system should have wide application in the analysis of the mechanisms whereby various treatments affect protein synthesis in the brain.

    Notes: S100 protein is a brain-specific protein which is absent at birth and first appears in rabbit brain 2–3 days after birth. To determine how the synthesis of this brain-specific protein is regulated, mRNA was isolated from brain polysomes and assayed for S100 protein mRNA activity by in vitro translation in a heterologous cell-free system and immunoprecipitation of released polypeptides with rabbit anti-S I00 protein antiserum. 5100 protein mRNA was detected primarily in small polysomes containing five to eight ribosomes, and virtually no S 100 protein mRNA was present in polysomes containing more than eight ribosomes. S100 protein mRNA was not detected in brain polysomes at stages prior to the induction of synthesis of S100 protein, i.e., in fetal brain or in 1-day neonates. The amount of S100 protein mRNA in polysomes of the cerebral cortex and cerebellum was measured to see if it correlated with the level of S100 protein in the two regions of adult brain. The cerebellum, which contained three to four times the level of S100 protein in the cerebral cortex, contained four times more S100 protein mRNA.

    Notes: Abstract: Free and membrane-bound polysomes and polyadenylated mRNA isolated from rabbit brain were translated in an mRNA-dependent rabbit reticulocyte lysate system. Electrophoretic analysis of the cell-free translation products demonstrated that although most of the nascent proteins were common to both free and membrane-bound brain polysomes, qualitative and quantitative differences were observed. Compared with the results obtained with purified polyadenylated mRNA, the addition of intact polysomes to the cell-free translation assay was more efficient and produced higher molecular weight products. Analysis of the translation products of free and membrane-bound polysomes revealed the appearance of 74K protein following either LSD administration or hyperthermia induced by elevated temperature treatment. The presence of this 74K protein was verified by analysis of the translation products by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis.

    Notes: Abstract: The intravenous administration of LSD to young adult rabbits resulted in the disaggregation of both free and membrane-bound classes of brain polysomes. Based on the analysis of LSD dosage and the time course of the LSD-induced brain polysome shift, it was found that free polysomes were more sensitive to the drug than the membrane-bound polysome fraction. LSD-induced hyperthermia may be involved in the disaggregation of free and membrane-bound polysomes, since a correlation was found between the extent of LSD-induced hyperthermia and the degree of brain polysome shift. Prevention of LSD-induced hyperthermia by maintaining the animal at 4°C blocked the disaggregation of both polysome classes. Induction of hyperthermia by elevation of ambient temperature also resulted in a shift in free and membrane-bound polysomes. In all cases the disaggregation of polysomes to monosomes was not caused by RNase activation. During polysome disaggregation, polyadenylated mRNA associated with both free and membrane-bound polysomes was not degraded but was relocalized from polysomes to monosomes.

    Notes: The intravenous administration of d-lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) to pregnant female rabbits induced hyperthermia as well as disaggregation of polysomes in fetal organs and maternal brain. The LSD-induced polysome shift in maternal brain and fetal organs was not due to an activation of ribonuclease or associated with alterations in the levels of free amino acids. Pretreatment with the receptor blocking agents haloperidol and pizotyline blocked both LSD-induced polysome shift in maternal brain and fetal organs and LSD-induced hyperthermia. Fine dissection of adult rabbit brain showed that the extent of LSD-induced disaggregation of polysomes does not exhibit any marked regional variation.

    Notes: Abstract: Analysis of the cell-free translation products of polysomes isolated from fetal brain and other organs indicates that elevation of maternal body temperature induces the synthesis of a heat shock protein of molecular weight 74,000 (74K). The newborn mammal is particularly sensitive to induction of the 74K protein. As early postnatal development proceeds, higher body temperatures are required to induce synthesis of the 74K heat shock protein.

    Notes: Abstract: Free and membrane-bound polysomes were isolated from the cerebral hemispheres and cerebellum of the young adult rabbit. The two polysomal populations were translated in an mRNA-dependent cell-free system derived from rabbit reticulocytes. Analysis of the [35S]methionine-labeled translation products on two-dimensional polyacrylamide gels indicated an efficient separation of the two classes of brain polysomes. The relative synthesis of S100 protein by free and membrane- bound polysomes was determined by direct immuno-precipitation of the cell-free translation products in the presence of detergents to reduce nonspecific trapping. Synthesis of S100 protein was found to be twofold greater on membrane-bound polysomes compared with free polysomes isolated from either the cerebral hemispheres or the cerebellum. In addition, the proportion of poly- (A+)mRNA coding for SlOO protein was also twofold greater in membrane-bound polysomes compared with free polysomes isolated from the cerebral hemispheres. These results indicate that the cytoplasmic S100 protein is synthesized predominantly on membrane-bound polysomes in the rabbit brain. We suggest that the nascent S100 polypeptide chain translation complex is attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum by an ionic interaction involving a sequence of 13 basic amino acids in S100 protein.

    Notes: Abstract— Brain RNP particles were characterized to determine whether they play a role in the regulation of brain protein synthesis. RNP particles were isolated from the postribosomal supernatant of cerebral hemispheres of young rabbits, employing conditions which minimize adventitious protein-RNA interactions. Brain RNP particles consist of a different set of proteins compared to proteins associated with either 40 and 60s ribosomal subunits or polysomal mRNA. Poly(A+)mRNA from brain RNP particles stimulates the incorporation of [35S]methionine in a wheat embryo cell-free system and codes for a different set of proteins compared to poly(A+)mRNA isolated from polysomes (with some overlap; i.e. mRNA coding for brain-specific S100 protein is present in both RNP particles and polysomes).Addition of total brain RNP particles to a cell-free wheat embryo system inhibits the endogenous incorporation of [35S]methionine. Total RNP particles were fractionated by sucrose density gradient centrifugation into a‘light’and a‘heavy’fraction. The light RNP fraction inhibited while the heavy RNP fraction stimulated protein synthesis in the wheat embryo cell-free system. Analysis of the protein composition of fractionated RNP particles revealed that the light and heavy RNP particles contained different sets of proteins. Together these results suggested that one class of brain RNP particles may contain a translational inhibitor and may be involved in the regulation of protein synthesis in the brain.
