This report describes morphological and biochemical changes accompanying oestrogen-induced synthesis of the egg-yolk protein precursor, vitellogenin, in maleXenopusliver. Extensive proliferation of the rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi apparatus occurs between 3 and 9 days after administration of oestradiol-17β. Subcellular fractionation showed that microsomal fractions have an increased protein and RNA content after hormone treatment, whereas the level of the endoplasmic reticulum marker enzyme, glucose-6-phos-phatase, decreased. In addition to an increased number of ribosomes available for protein synthesis, hormone treatment enhances the in vitro protein synthetic capacity per unit of RNA, both in microsome and ribosome preparations. Polypeptides synthesized in vitro by ribosome preparations show an enrichment in serine content after hormone treatment and an increased proportion of ribosomes can be immunoprecipitated by antibodies directed against vitellogenin. Our data are consistent with the proposal that vitellogenin is synthesized on the ribosomes of the rough endoplasmic reticulum and processed and packaged for secretion in the smooth endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus. Response to hormonal induction of vitellogenin involves an early phase in which membrane proliferation occurs in order to increase the cellular capacity to synthesize, process and secrete large quantities of egg-yolk protein precursor.
