Ribonucleic acid and protein synthesis in guinea pig liver during Q fever

Ribonucleic acid and protein synthesis in guinea pig liver during Q fever

H A Thompson et al. Infect Immun. 1973 May.

Abstract

Protein and ribonucleic acid (RNA) syntheses increase in the liver during Q fever, coincident with progressive increments in cortisol levels. Cell-free protein-synthesizing systems indicate that the pH 5 enzyme fraction was chiefly responsible for enhanced activity. Although the polysome profiles from normal and infected livers were similar, the number of liver ribosomes doubled during infection. There was a concomitant increase in orotate incorporation in the 28s, 18s, and 4s RNA species of infected liver.
