The specific nucleocytoplasmic compartmentalization of proteins was examined for some major soluble acidic nuclear proteins in oocytes of different amphibia [Xenopus laevis, Rana temporaria, Rana esculenta and Pleurodeles waltlii]. Proteins synthesized and radioactively labeled by translation in vitro, by using mRNA from ovaries of the frog X. laevis, were injected into the cytoplasm of living oocytes of Xenopus or of the salamander P. waltlii. At various times after injection, nucleus and cytoplasm were manually separated and endogenous and injected proteins were analyzed by 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Several major nucleus-specific proteins of different sizes and electrical charges, including the very acidic proteins N1 and N2 (MW, 110,000 and 100,000) and N4 (MW 34,000), are identical in both forms.sbd.i.e., as translation products in vitro and as present in the nucleoplasm. Significantly different cytoplasmic precursor forms to these nuclear proteins do not exist. The translation products contain the signal(s) directing the specific sequestration of these proteins within the nucleus; post-translational processing is not required for the accumulation of these proteins in the nucleoplasm; and the signals and the mechanisms involved are not species specific.
