Analysis of globin transition in Xenopus laevis and identification of globins by in vitro translation of hybrid-selected mRNA

The switch from larval to adult globin synthesis during amphibian metamorphosis was analyzed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in acid urea-Triton X-100. 4–6 slowly migrating components were detected in larvae and at least 4 faster components appear at metamorphosis and persist in the adult stag...

Zusammenfassung:The switch from larval to adult globin synthesis during amphibian metamorphosis was analyzed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in acid urea-Triton X-100. 4–6 slowly migrating components were detected in larvae and at least 4 faster components appear at metamorphosis and persist in the adult stage. To relate the globin subunits to the mRNA sequences, isolated as cDNA clones, mRNAs were hybrid-selected from total RNA of larval and adult erythrocytes and translated in a wheat germ system. The translation products were identified by comparison with the globin pattern of hemolysates
