Lecture_12_In-Vitro Translation
Blobel & Dobberstein Experiment
Experiment 1: In-vitro translation of light chain (LC) subunit of antibodies. Light chain
protein is a secreted protein.
Experimental Procedure
Into a microfuge tube following were added: (a.) Antibody light chain mRNA; (b.) In-vitro
translation mix, i.e. lysate, lysate had all the proteins needed to do translation; and (c.)
Radioactive labeled
14
C amino acids. For the experiment antibody light chain from isolated
intact cell was used as a control.
Lysate for in-vitro translation was obtained by subjecting the cells to Homogenize in
order to break up cells and centrifuge at high speeds (20,000 g) to pellet all organelles.
Lysate is the supernatant containing soluble proteins, ribosomes, tRNA, initiation,
elongations & termination factors. mRNA was removed from the lysate for experimental
purpose.
Radioisotopes commonly used in biology are:
14
C,
32
P,
35
S,
3
H,
125
I. Advantages of using
radioisotopes: (a.) Traceable (trace amounts of radioactive molecule are possible to find;
it tags molecules for identification); (b.) Quantifiable (rate of decay); and (c.) Sensitive
(easy to detect and measure small amounts).
Microfuge tube was subjected to SDS PAGE (Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate Poly Acrylamide Gel
Electrophoresis) Autoradiography in order to separate proteins.
Autoradiography provides a mean to visualize biochemical process by allowing an
investigator to determine the location of radioactivity labeled materials within a cell. In
this technique, tissue sections containing radioactive isotopes are covered with a thin
layer of photographic emulsion (film), which is exposed by radiation emanating from
radioisotopes within the tissue. Sites in the cells containing radioactivity are revealed
under the microscope by silver grain in the overlying emulsion (film).
SDS-PAGE Autoradiography Result
Antibody light chain made in-vitro appeared at 25 kD while light chain isolated from intact
cells appeared at 21 kD.
Conclusion
Difference in 4 kD, led to the conclusion that it may be due to signal peptide sequence or some
artefact.
Experiment 2: What happens if in-vitro translation is carried out in the presence/absence of
isolated ER membranes (microsomes) and/or protease ? Protease is an enzyme that
degrades proteins.
