Homologous cell-free systems were prepared using free, total bound, tightly bound or KCl-sensitive loosely bound (KCl-sensitive) polysomes from regenerating rat liver. [14C]Leucine was incubated with one kind of polysomes and [3H]leucine with another kind. The reaction mixtures were then combined, and ribosomal structural proteins were purified as described previously [4], using two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis as the final step [5]. The 3H to 14C ratios of the purified fractions were estimated to compare the activities of the two kinds of polysomes for biosynthesis of ribosomal structural proteins. The following results were obtained: (1) The activity of free polysomes for biosynthesis of ribosomal structural proteins was about 3.6 or 2.4 times higher than that of total bound polysomes in two experiments in which 14C and 3H labeling was reversed. The radioactivities incorporated by free polysomes into most of the proteins separated on two-dimensional gel were found to be definitely higher than those in the surrounding areas, suggesting that most of the ribosomal structural proteins were synthesized by free polysomes. The activity of free polysomes for biosynthesis of ribosomal structural proteins was about 7 times higher than that of tightly bound polysomes, which were prepared by washing the microsomal membrane fraction with 0.5 M KCl. The radioactivities incorporated by tightly bound polysomes into the proteins separated on two-dimensional gel were only slightly higher than those in the surrounding areas, indicating that these polysomes had very low synthetic activity. (2) Preferential synthesis of histones by free polysomes was also shown using the same procedures. (3) KCl-sensitive polysomes which were released by washing the microsomal membrane fraction with 0.5 M KCl, were shown to have definitely higher activity than tightly bound polysomes for biosynthesis of ribosomal structural proteins. (4) From these results, it is concluded that most of the ribosomal structural proteins are preferentially synthesized by free and KCl-sensitive polysomes in regenerating rat liver.
