Abstract

The rates of synthesis of tubulin and total protein have been measured in organ cultures of brains from 6-14-day embryonic chicks. Total protein synthesis declines progressively with age but tubulin synthesis peaks between days 6 and 7 and then declines. The turnover of tubulin in 7-day brain is significantly faster than that in the 12-day brain. Thus, alterations in the rates of synthesis as well as degradation of tubulin occur in the developing brain.
