Abstract

Cloned mouse ribosomal protein (rp) cDNAs exhibit extensive homology with the corresponding rat sequences. The size of the rp-mRNAs and complexity of the rp-genes are very similar in the two species. Using the mouse rp-recombinant DNAs we find that the relative abundance of rat L7, L13, L18, L30, L32/33 and S16 mRNAs increases after partial hepatectomy. Their maximal level is about twice that of normal rat liver, and is achieved 12-18 h after the operation, while the relative abundance of albumin mRNA decreases to half the normal values 12 h after partial hepatectomy. This concomitant increase in the relative content of these rp-mRNAs indicates coordinate regulation of their level in the rat. The dissimilar behavior of L10 and L19 rp-mRNA suggests additional control mechanisms of rp-mRNA levels in the regenerating rat liver.
