During Xenopus development, the synthesis of ribosomal proteins is regulated at the translational level. To identify the region of the ribosomal protein mRNAs responsible for their typical translational behavior, we constructed a fused gene in which the upstream sequences (promoter) and the 5' untranslated sequence (first exon) of the gene coding for Xenopus ribosomal protein S19 were joined to the coding portion of the procaryotic chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) gene deleted of its own 5' untranslated region. This fused gene was introduced in vivo by microinjection into Xenopus fertilized eggs, and its activity was monitored during embryogenesis. By analyzing the pattern of appearance of CAT activity and the distribution of the S19-CAT mRNA between polysomes and messenger ribonucleoproteins, it was concluded that the 35-nucleotide-long 5' untranslated region of the S19 mRNA is able to confer to the fused S19-CAT mRNA the translational behavior typical of ribosomal proteins during Xenopus embryo development.
