The mechanism of insulin-mediated induction of tyrosine aminotransferase in rat liver was investigated using a cloned cDNA probe. The level of aminotransferase mRNA increases about fourfold following administration of the hormone. This induced mRNA accumulation does not requirede novoprotein synthesis. Nuclear runoff transcription assays in isolated liver nuclei demonstrate that insulin has a rapid and time-dependent stimulatory effect on aminotransferase gene transcription. The magnitude of enhanced transcription can fully account for the increase in the mRNA. We conclude that the induction of tyrosine aminotransferase in rat liver by insulin is primarily a consequence of a selective increase in the rate of transcription of the aminotransferase gene.
