Prelude activities in the synthesis of tissue-specific secretory protein products

RESUMO

In studying the process of protein synthesis of a silk-producing organism we have found that several macromolecules must be synthesized in order for the process to occur. Through time course studies, we have found that small RNAs may play a paramount role in directing the finely orchestrated process. Alanine tRNA, U1 snRNA, and 5S RNA have been identified through Northern blotting as molecules timely and tissue-specific synthesized and upgraded as a prelude activity for the silk being produced
