We have found that various mycoplasma species quickly and efficiently incorporate radiophosphorus into their RNA from labeled oligonucleotides added to the medium. The label can be in any of several positions in an oligodeoxynucleotide, and incorporation also occurs efficiently from labeled RNA. Mycoplasmas also incorporate the radiolabel when they infect a mammalian cell culture; the host cells do not.

The effects of ionophore A23187 on the incorporation of 32Pi into phospholipids and on 45Ca2+ uptake and release by polymorphonuclear leukocytes were examined. A23187 increased 32Pi incorporation into phosphatidic acid, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylserine, and the phosphoinositides. It also promoted a rapid burst uptake and release of 45Ca2+ by leukocytes.

Radiophosphorus incorporation into cellular phospholipids was enhanced when pinocytosis was stimulated. The specific activity of cellular and brush border phospholipids and specific phosphatides increased during the period of active endocytosis.

Maximum 32P uptake by ovary was obtained when a tracer dose of radiophosphorus was given 30 minutes after LH injection and fish were sacrificed 12 hours after the tracer shot. A log-dose response was observed between ovarian 32P uptake and gonadotropic content of pituitary extract or LH in hypophysectomized H.
