Howard C. Towle,* Cary N. Mariash, Harold L. Schwartz, and Jack H. Oppenheimer abstract: The induction of cytosolic malic enzyme in rat liver by 3, 5, 3'-triiodo-L-thyronine (T3) is due to an increase in the level of messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) coding for this protein. To investigate the mechanism of this hormone action, we measured the dose-response relationship between T3 and malic enzyme mRNA and the kinetics of appearance and disappearance of malic enzyme mRNA following T3 admin-istration and withdrawal, respectively. Messenger RNA coding for malic enzyme was quantitated by using the mRNA-dependent rabbit reticulocyte lysate translational system. Identification of malic enzyme in the translational products was achieved by chromatography on A^-fb-aminohexyl) adenosine 2', 5'-diphosphate-agarose, a biospecific af-finity resin for NADP-dependent enzymes, followed by specific immunoprecipitation and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacryl-amide gel electrophoresis. With this procedure, levels of malic enzyme mRNA as low as 0.003% of the total translational products in normal, uninduced rat liver could be measured.
