Abstract
The growth-related protein p23 of the Ehrlich ascites tumor (EAT) is preferentially expressed in the exponentially growing tumor; its synthesis is translationally controlled. p23 mRNA is efficiently translated in the wheat germ cell-free lysate. In contrast, p23 mRNA present in poly(A)+RNA isolated from EAT is not translated in cell-free systems of EAT and reticulocytes. Moreover, translation of a p23 transcript is inhibited in the presence of total poly(A)+RNA. This inhibition is abolished by the removal of the 5'-UTR of the p23 transcript. Solution hybridization/RNase protection experiments point to the presence of a nucleotide sequence complementary to the 5'-UTR of p23 mRNA which might be involved in p23 mRNA inhibition.
