Regulation of mRNA levels of rat liver carbamoylphosphate synthetase by glucocorticosteroids and cyclic AMP as estimated with a specific cDNA

C J de Groot et al. Biochem Biophys Res Commun. .

Abstract

The construction and cloning of a cDNA complementary to the mRNA of rat liver carbamoylphosphate synthetase (ammonia) is described. Using this cDNA, the size of the mature, cytosolic carbamoylphosphate synthetase (ammonia) mRNA is estimated to be 6.0 Kb. The levels of carbamoylphosphate synthetase (ammonia) mRNA in liver are shown to be regulated by glucocorticosteroids and cyclic AMP. By studying mRNA levels of carbamoylphosphate synthetase, albumin and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, using specific cDNA clones, we show that carbamoylphosphate synthetase gene expression, like that of albumin is liver-specific.
