The ontogeny of rat brain beta 1- and beta 2-adrenergic receptor (beta-AR) and G protein messenger RNA (mRNA) was examined by Northern blot analysis using nick-translated cDNA clones for probes. The level of beta 1-AR and beta 2-AR mRNA followed a pattern of development which paralleled that for the receptor binding sites; the levels of mRNA and binding sites were low at day 1 and increased gradually to adult levels by postnatal days 16-25. In contrast, the level of G protein mRNA, including that for Gs alpha, Gi1 alpha, Gi2 alpha, Go alpha and G beta, on postnatal day 1 was equal to or greater than adult levels, increased 40-80% between day 1 and 7 and then decreased to adult values by day 14-25. This developmental time course approximates that reported for the expression of Gs and Gi but not Go and G beta protein levels determined by immunolabeling and toxin catalyzed ADP-ribosylation. The level of beta-actin mRNA was also greater than adult levels on day 1 and then gradually decreased to adult levels by day 14-25. The results indicate that the ontogeny of beta-ARs and G proteins and the relationship between the amount of mRNA and protein are qualitatively different.
