摘要
The mitochondrial elongation factors Tu and Ts (EF-Tu(mt)) and EF-Ts-mt are nuclear gene-encoded mitochondrial proteins and play important roles in growth and development, We prepared antibodies against EF-Tu(mt) and EF-Ts-mt using purified recombinant EF-Tu(mt) and EF-Ts-mt. Western analysis indicates EF-Tu(mt) and EF-Ts-mt are expressed differently in various tissues. Their expression in heart and liver increased during development and reached plateau at maturation. Expression of EF-Tu(mt) and EF-Ts-mt exhi-bited similar tissue-specificity and changed synchronically during development. These results suggest that expression levels of EF-Tu(mt) and EF-Ts-mt may be regulated by a similar mechanism related to the metabolic state of the cells.
