Abstract

Cat-1 is a protein with a dual function, a high affinity, low capacity cationic amino acid transporter of the y+ system and the receptor for the ecotropic retrovirus. We have suggested that Cat-1 is required in the regenerating liver for the transport of cationic amino acids and polyamines in the late G1 phase, a process that is essential for liver cells to enter mitosis. In our earlier studies we had shown that the cat-1 gene is silent in the quiescent liver but is induced in response to hormones, insulin, and glucocorticoids, and partial hepatectomy. Here we demonstrate that cat-1 is a classic delayed early growth response gene in the regenerating liver, since induction of its expression is sensitive to cycloheximide, indicating that protein synthesis is required. The peak of accumulation of the cat-1 mRNA (9-fold) by 3 h was not associated with increased transcriptional activity of the cat-1 gene in the regenerating liver, indicating post-transcriptional regulation of expression of this gene. Induction of the cat-1 gene results in the accumulation of two mRNA species (7.9 and 3.4 kilobase pairs (kb)). Both mRNAs hybridize with the previously described rat cat-1/2.9-kb cDNA clone. However, the 3' end of a longer rat cat-1 cDN...Continue Reading
