Subcellular Distribution in Xenopus laevis Oocytes of a Microinjected Poly(A)‐Binding Protein from Artemia salina Gastrulae

Abstract
The poly(A)‐binding protein P38 of non‐polysomal mRNP from Artemia salina gastrulae was labelled by reductive methylation and microinjected into he cytoplasm of Xenopus laevis oocytes. The labelled protein has a half‐life of approximately 20 h and accumulated in the nucleus to a final concentration 3.15 timees higher than that reached by free diffusion. This fact suggests that P38, a cytoplasmic poly(A)‐binding protein, might also play some role in the nucleus of the cell. Copyright © 1983, Wiley Blackwell.
