Active transport of calcium in inverted membrane vesicles of Escherichia coli.

abstract：:Mouse myeloma cells were pulse-labeled in vitro with (3)H-D-glucosamine and (14)C-L-leucine. Analysis on sucrose gradients revealed incorporation of both isotopes into polyribosomes and release of most of such radioactivity after treatment of labeled cells in vitro with puromycin. A mixing experiment excluded the in v...
