Hydrocortisone induction of rat-liver leucyl-transfer RNA and its synthetases

K Altman et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 1972 Dec.

Abstract

Within 3 hr after the intraperitoneal administration of hydrocortisone to female rats, a new leucine-accepting tRNA and a new leucyl-tRNA synthetase activity appear in the liver cytosol. The new isoaccepting tRNA can be acylated only with the synthetase derived from livers of hormone-treated animals. Both components are transient; by 12 hr after hydrocortisone administration, the isoaccepting tRNA and its synthetase disappear from livers of treated animals.
