SUMMARY Using a reticulocyte lysate system, total rat liver poly A+ RNA was translated in vitro and the apocytochrome b5 product examined by immuno-chemical methods. Demonstrably specific antisera to cytochrome b5 was produced in sheep against whole purified apoprotein isolated from rat liver microsomes. The results show that apocytochrome b5 is translated as a protein that is not appreciably different in size from that isolated from membranes. INTRODUCTION Cytochrome

The equivalence point of were incubated for 2 days at 4OC before analysis. the sheep antisera, determined by radial immunodiffusion with serial dilutions of antisera, was 10 pg of cytochrome b5 precipitated by 0.1 ml of sheep antisera. Isolation of liver mRNA and cell-free translation: Rat liver mRNA was isolated according to Naguchi --et al. (10). Reticulocyte lysates were prepared according to Hunt and Jackson (11) using phenylhydrazine to induce anemia. Lysates were treated with micrococcal nuclease (12). Twelve micrograms of rat liver polyA+ RNA was incubated in 4 ml of lysate with 25 UCi of (3H)-leucine for one hour at 30°C. After translation, the lysate was diluted and Triton X-100 and sodium deoxyto one ml with phosphate-buffered saline, After cholate were added to final concentrations of 1% and 0.5%, respectively. centrifugation at 10,000 xg for 10 minutes to clarify the sample, 0.1 ml of antisera was added to the supernatant. The mixture was incubated at room temperature for one-half hour, and then 6 up of carrier protein was added and stored for 2 days at 4'. The immunoprecipitate was then pelleted and washed once with PBS containing l? Triton X-ID0 and 0.5% deoxycholate. The pellet was resuspended in buffer and pelleted through 1.0 M sucrose at 10,000 x g for 10 minutes. The whole tube was then frozen. The tip of the frozen tube was cut off and the thawed contents solubilized in 90 ~1 of SDSsolubilization buffer (13). The protein was run on Laemmli gels containing 12.5% acrylamide (14). Gels were frozen, sliced into 2 mm discs and solubilized in scintillation vials containing !i ml of NCS:H2@ (9:l) overnight at 4oOc. Ten ml of toluene scintillation fluid was added and the vials counted. Total incorporation into protein was determined by TCA-precipitation of 5 111 lysate and collection on GF/C filters which were then dissolved in 1 ml of NCS:H20 (9:l) and counted in a toluene fluor. Analytical methods and materials: Protein determinations were done according to Lowry --et al. (15) using bovine serum albumin as the standard. Cytochrome b5 concentrations were measured according to Omura and Sato (16) using an Aminco DW-2 spectrophotometer. All glassware was acid-washed and solutions were autoclaved or prepared with autoclaved water. (3H)-leucine (140 Ci/mmole) , proteinase K and NCS were purchased from New England Nuclear or Boehringer Mannheim. RESULTS The detergent-solubilized gels
