Relative rates of ovalbumin and conalbumin mRNA transcription were measured in isolated oviduct nuclei by allowing endogenous RNA polymerases to synthesize [32P]RNA that was then hybridized to immobilized recombinant DNA containing the respective gene sequences.
Abstract
Relative rates of ovalbumin and conalbumin mRNA transcription were measured in isolated oviduct nuclei by allowing endogenous RNA polymerases to synthesize [32P]RNA that was then hybridized to immobilized recombinant DNA containing the respective gene sequences. Administration of either estrogen or progesterone to withdrawn birds increased the rate of conalbumin mRNA (mRNA,,,) transcription 2- to 3-fold within 30 min. The rate of ovalbumin mRNA (mRNA,,) transcription was undetectable before hormone administration and increased at least 20-fold during the first 12 h. The maximum rates of transcription achieved after 12 h of hormonal stimulation are only 10 to 25% of those observed after several days of hormone treatment; these transcription rates are consistent with the low levels of nuclear estrogen or progesterone receptors measured during the first 12 h of induction. The induction of mRNA, and mRNAcon in oviduct explant cultures was quantitatively comparable to that observed in vivo. Relative rates of transcription were also measured in this system by pulse-labeling with [3H]uridine. In addition, absolute rates of transcription were determined by measuring the specific activity of the UTP pool during the labeling period. The accumulation of mRNA., sequences was consistent with the absolute rate of transcription measurements, indicating that this mRNA has a long

The apparent small response of arginase and the slow response of glutamic-alanine transaminase as compared to the rapid and large response of tryptophan pyrrolase and tyrosine-glutamic Transaminase are not a reflection of low sensitivity to the effects of cortisone, but of the slower turnover of these enzymes.

The existence of a lag suggests that there are intermediate steps between the binding of steroid receptors to chromatin and the induction of ovalbumin mRNA, which is more consistent with the rate-limiting translocation of steroid receptor sites from initial nonproductive chromatin-binding sites to productive sites.

The data suggest a direct link between protein synthesis and the steroid-induced accumulation of specific mRNAs in this system and demonstrates that both the lag phenomena and the mRNA induction are a function of the direct interaction of steroids with oviduct cells.

Oviduct nuclei from laying hens, or from chicks given an optimal dose of estrogen, contain receptors with a high affinity for 17beta-estradiol at a concentration of about 10,600 molecules per tubular gland cell, which is related to the rate of accumulation of ovalbumin and conalbumin mRNA.

Biochemical and ultrastructural studies indicate that the increased rate of protein synthesis during secondary stimulation is associated with an organization of ribosomes into polysomes within gland cells, which is similar with both estradiol and progesterone during the first 18 hours.

The hybridization results demonstrate that both estrogen and pregesterone affect the amount of ovalbumin mRNA per cell, and the 3-hour lag period seen with estrogen appears to be caused by some event after the binding of the estrogen receptor to chromatin but prior to change in the rate of transcription of the ovalbumIn gene.

It is concluded that in the process of inducing egg- white protein synthesis, estrogen produces a cellular environment in which the egg-white protein mRNAs are relatively stable; removal of estrogen initiates cellular catabolism in a manner that is not understood.

The model is based on an analogy with the DNA binding properties of the E. coli lac repressor protein and believes that the estradiol receptor exerts its effect by binding to a small number of high affinity sites on the genome, while also having a finite low affinity for nonspecific DNA sequences.

Results indicate that a large fraction of RNA polymerases elongating in vivo is retained in isolated nuclei, and the average density of packing of polymerases on DNA is considerably less than the maximum density predicted by Miller and Bakken (1972), suggesting that initiation of polymerase of DNA is a limiting factor in the control of transcription.
