The emergence of abundant-class mRNAs specific for contractile muscle proteins and their distribution between polysomal and free mRNP fractions were studied in skeletal muscle excised from chicken embryos during the transition from myoblasts (day 9) to myotubes (day 18). Muscle-specific cDNA was selectively prepared by hybridizing cDNA to template RNA (polysomal poly(A)+ mRNA) from day-14 embryos followed by isolation of the abundant class, which represents approximately 20% of total mRNA. The specificity of the cDNA probe for this class was confirmed by the differential degree of hybridization to cytoplasmic RNA from cultured myotube and myoblast cells and by its inability to hybridize with mRNA from nonmuscle cells such as liver. Except for muscle from day-9 embryos, the concentrations of the abundant-class muscle-specific mRNAs were higher in polysomes than in free mRNP fractions. Furthermore, the levels of these mRNAs in polysomes increased 12-fold from day 9 (myoblast) to day 14 (intermediate) with a further 3.6-fold increase from day 14 to day 18 (myotube). In contrast to this 45-fold net increase in the polysomal level of these mRNAs from day 9 to day 18, the levels in the free mRNP fraction showed only a 3-fold decrease during this period. Because the amount of mRNA lost from the mRNP fraction is much less than the net increase in the polysome fraction, mRNP does not serve as a reservoir of untranslated muscle-specific mRNA for transfer to polysomes. Consequently, the emergence of muscle-specific polysomal mRNA for contractile proteins during myogenesis in ovo appears to be regulated primarily by transcriptional control.
