The three yolk proteins in Drosophilamelanogaster [1] can be labelled with [35S] methionine during their synthesis either ‘in vitro’or ‘in vivo’[2, 3]. It has been shown that mRNA isolated from the fat body and ovaries of DrosophiZa can be translated in the wheat germ cell free system into YPl and YP2, yet YP3 was not synthesised [3, 4]. Consequently it was not known whether the wheat germ simply failed to translate the mRNA for YP3 or if perhaps YP3 was derived from YPl, YP2, or a larger precursor. We found no evidence of a precursor, and furthermore peptide analysis and the presence of YP3 in a mutant with reduced quantities of YPl in the haemolymph and ovary [5] indicated that YP3 is either a modification of YP2 or is translated from a separate mRNA. In this paper short labelling periods are used both ‘in vivo’and ‘in vitro’to indicate that is in unlikely that YP3 is a derivative of another protein.
