Polyadenylation of mRNA, a post-transcriptional phenomenon, is catalysed by cytoplasmic and nuclear poly(A) polymerases. During normal growth and development cytoplasmic poly(A) polymerase activity in the kidney of rat increased from day 20 reaching to a peak at 35 days. Dihydrotestosterone at a dose of 500 micrograms and above significantly stimulated the enzyme activity in the cortex of kidney in the castrated animals. A single dose of dihydrotestosterone caused significant increase in the enzyme activity at 12 h after treatment and was maintained till 24 h. Antiandrogen cyproterone acetate inhibited dihydrotestosterone-induced enzyme activity in kidney cortex. These results show that cytoplasmic poly(A) polymerase of rat kidney is regulated by dihydrotestosterone.
