Abstract

Progesterone induces de novo synthesis of the specific protein avidin in estrogen-primed chick oviducts. The specificity and kinetics of induction of this protein has been the subject of a series of past publications from our laboratory (1–6). We have previously shown that progesterone causes major quantitative and qualitative alterations in oviduct gene transcription. Induction of avidin was blocked by actinomycin D. Changes in rapidly-labeled nuclear RNA and nuclear RNA polymerase activities supported a transcriptional effect of the hormone (4–7).KeywordsScatchard PlotReceptor ComponentChromatin BindingCytosol ReceptorCorticosteroid Binding GlobulinThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
