Estradiol-induced synthesis of vitellogenin II. Immunochemical characterization of vitellogenin polysomes

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Nucleic Acids and Protein Synthesis, 1976
Abstract Polysomes from estrogenized rooster liver were subfractionated on sucrose gradients. The size distribution of the vitellogenin polysomes was determined with in vitro labelling of the nascent chains followed by immunochemical determination of the elongated vitellogenin chains. Vitellogenin polysomes contain 30–40 ribosomes.

Evolutionary Conservation of Vitellogenin Genes

DNA, 1982
Homologous and heterologous hybridizations in solution were performed between sheared genomic DNA and DNA complementary to vitellogenin mRNA of Xenopus, chicken, and migratory locust. The kinetics of hybridization and the thermal stability of the hybrids formed suggested a high degree of conservation of coding sequences of insect, amphibian, and avian ...

Vitellogenesis and the Vitellogenin Gene Family

Science, 1981
Vitellogenin is synthesized under estrogen control in the liver, extensively modified, transported to the ovary, and there processed to the yolk proteins lipovitellin and phosvitin. In the frog Xenopus laevis there are at least four distinct but related vitellogenin genes.

Molecular characteristics of insect vitellogenins

Journal of Insect Physiology, 2008
Vitellogenins (Vgs) are precursors of the major egg storage protein, vitellin (Vn), in many oviparous animals. Insects Vgs are large molecules ( approximately 200-kD) synthesized in the fat body in a process that involves substantial structural modifications (e.g., glycosylation, lipidation, phosphorylation, and proteolytic cleavage, etc.) of the ...

Estradiol-induced accumulation of vitellogenin mRNA and secretion of vitellogenin in liver cultures of Xenopus

Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology, 1978
Explants of male Xenopus liver maintained in a serum-free culture medium respond to stimulation by 2 X 10(-8) M 17beta-estradiol with an increasing rate of accumulation of vitellogenin mRNA, as revealed by hybridization of cDNA to the total cytoplasmic RNA extracted from the cultures.

Cloning of cDNA for Vitellogenin of Athalia rosae (Hymenoptera) and characterization of the vitellogenin gene expression

Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 1994
Athalia rosae (Hymenoptera) was previously shown to have two vitellins (L-Vn and S-Vn) and the two corresponding vitellogenins (L-Vg and S-Vg). A cDNA expression library was constructed from poly(A)+ RNA prepared from adult female fat body cells, and was screened for the vitellogenins by using antisera against the L- and S-Vn, respectively ...

A zebrafish vitellogenin gene (vg3) encodes a novel vitellogenin without a phosvitin domain and may represent a primitive vertebrate vitellogenin gene

Gene, 2000
By analysis of zebrafish EST (expressed sequence tag) clones from an adult cDNA library, we have identified 44 clones, about 11% of the adult EST clones, encoding vitellogenins. These vitellogenin EST clones have been derived from at least seven distinct vitellogenin genes.

Evolution and expression of vitellogenin genes

Trends in Genetics, 1988
Abstract A major event during the growth period of oocytes in nonmammalian animals is the accumulation of yolk. The genes coding for the yolk protein precursor, known as vitallogenin, are well characterized in a few vertebrate and invertebrate species.

Vitellogenin diversity in the perciformes

Journal of Experimental Zoology, 1992
AbstractVitellogenin variation was studied in 11 species of Perciformes encompassing the families Cichlidae, Serranidae, Lutjanidae, Centropomidae, and Eleotrididae. Despite the enormous morphological and ecological diversity that characterizes this order of teleosts, northern blot analysis revealed that the Oreochromis aureus vitellogenin gene probe ...
