Summary The activity of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (ADPRP) and the content of 2,5-oligodenylates core (2,5An; n = 2,3 and 4) were measured in homogenates of the uterus and of the liver of immature rats immediately before (time 0) or at different times after injection of estradiol-valerate. ADPRP activity increased gradualy, starting 6 hours after estrogen injection, for about 4 days. Instead, the content of 2,5 An decreased by about 50% within 6 hours, and thereafter more slowly for 4 days to about 20% of starting values. Estrogen increased ADPRP activity and decreased 2,5An concentration also in the kidney and in the cardiac muscle of the same animals, but not in the skeletal muscle, where neither of the two parameters was affected. Injection of vehicle only (sesame oil) had no effect on ADPRP activity nor on 2,5An content of immature rat tissues. 相似文献

Summary Autonomously replicating sequences (ARSs) were cloned from the 1.688 satellite DNA of D. melanogaster using YIp5, consisting of pBR322 and the yeast ura3 gene, as the cloning vector and YNN27, a Ura– yeast strain as the recipient. Three out of six clones contained an ARS and the average frequncy of the occurrence of ARS was thus calculated to be approximately one per 14 kbp of the satellite DNA. A 500 bp ARS fragment (BgHS500) was obtained from one of the resultant clones (pYDS57). BgHS500 does not hybridize with the major repeating unit (370 bp) but it does with the minor unique sequence of the satellite. The sequence of BgHS500 was determined and found to be rich in AT and to contain the sequence, 5AAAACATAAAA3, a sequence common to yeast ARSs. However, a smaller fragment (150 bp) isolated from BgHS500 and containing the 11 bp sequence did not exhibit the characteristics of an ARS. The average copy number in the transformants of pBgHS500, a recombinant molecule of BgHS500 and YIp5, ranged from 0.05–0.5, while that of the parent plasmid, pYDS57, was about 2–10. On the basis of these results, it is postulated that the sequence 5AAAACATAAAA3 may possibly consiitute the core of ARSs and certain other sequences may also be necessary to insure that the ARS consistently undergoes at least one complete replication in each cell cycle. The role of ARSs in the genome of D. melanogaster is discussed. 相似文献

Crude extracts or supernatants of broken cells of Clostridium formicoaceticum reduce unbranched, branched, saturated and unsaturated carboxylates at the expense of carbon monoxide to the corresponding alcohols. The presence of viologens with redox potentials varying from E
0=-295 to-650 mV decreased the rate of propionate reduction. The more the propionate reduction was diminished the more formate was formed from carbon monoxide. The lowest propionate reduction and highest formate formation was observed with methylviologen. The carbon-carbon double bond of E-2-methyl-butenoate was only hydrogenated when a viologen was present. Formate as electron donor led only in the presence of viologens to the formation of propanol from propionate. The reduction of propionate at the expense of a reduced viologen can be followed in cuvettes. With respect to propionate Michaelis Menten behavior was observed. Experiments are described which lead to the assumption that the carboxylates are reduced in a non-activated form. That would be new type of biological reduction.Non-standard abbreviations glc

Summary In order to study some internal dynamic processes of the lac operator sequence, the 13C-labeled duplex 5d(C0G1C2T3C4A5C6A7A8T9T10) · d(A10A9T8T7G6T5G4A3G2C1G0)3 was used. The spreading of both the H1 and C1 resonances brought about an excellent dispersion of the 1H1-13C1 correlations. The spinlattice relaxation parameters R(Cz), R(Cx,y) and R(HzCz) were measured for each residue of the two complementary strands, except for the 3-terminal residues which were not labeled. Variation of the relaxation rates was found along the sequence. These data were analyzed in the context of the model-free formalism proposed by Lipari and Szabo [(1982) J. Am. Chem. Soc., 104, 4546–4570] and extended to three parameters by Clore et al. [(1990) Biochemistry, 29, 7387–7401; and (1990) J. Am. Chem. Soc., 112, 4989–4991]. A careful analysis using a least-squares program showed that our data must be interpreted in terms of a three-parameter spectral density function. With this approach, the global correlation time was found to be the same for each residue. All the C1-H1 fragments exhibited both slow (s = 1.5) and fast (f = 20 ps) restricted libration motions (S

=0.52 to 0.96). Relaxation processes were described as governed by the motion of the sugar relative to the base and in terms of bending of the whole duplex. The possible role played by the special structure of the AATT sequence is discussed. No evident correlation was found between the amplitude motions of the complementary residues. The 5-terminal residues showed large internal motions (S2=0.5), which describe the fraying of the double helix. Global examination of the microdynamical parameters S

along the nucleotide sequence showed that the adenine residues exhibit more restricted fast internal motions (S
inf2
supf
=0.88 to 0.96) than the others, whereas the measured relaxation rates of the four nucleosides in solution were mainly of dipolar origin. Moreover, the fit of both R(Cz) and R(HzCz) experimental relaxation rates using an only global correlation time for all the residues, gave evidence of a supplementary relaxation pathway affecting R(Cx,y) for the purine residues in the (53) G4A3 and A10A9T8T7 sequences. This relaxation process was analyzed in terms of exchange stemming from motions of the sugar around the glycosidic bond on the millisecond time scale. It should be pointed out that these residues gave evidence of close contacts with the protein in the complex with the lac operator [Boelens et al. (1987) J. Mol. Biol., 193, 213–216] and that these motions could be implied in the lac-operator-lac-repressor recognition process. 相似文献

The six binary montmorillonite clay-catalyzed reactions of the5-phosphorimidazolides of adenosine, cytidine, guanosine anduridine were performed and the eight dimers from each reactionwere separated and analyzed by HPLC. A 16–51-fold higher yieldof the 5-purine-pyrimidine dimers over that of the5-pyrimidine-purines was observed. The total yield of the5-purine-pyrimidine dimers was in the 50–70% range while thatof the 5-pyrimidine-purine dimers was 1.3–7.0%. Less sequenceselectivity was observed in the homodimers formed.Regioselectivity for the formation of 3, 5-phosphodiesterbonds over that found in the absence of clay was observed. The5-purine-pyrimidine, 5-pyrimidine-pyrimidine and5-purine-purine dimers had 3, 5-links in about half of theirphosphodiester bonds. The percent phosphodiester links in the5-pyrimidine-pyrimidine dimers was 18%, a value close to thatobserved in the absence of the montmorillonite catalyst. Themontmorillonite-catalyzed reaction of all four activatednucleotides was performed and the 24 products were separated andanalyzed. The trends observed in the binary reactions wereconfirmed and the results also showed that the relativereactivity of the activated monomers was A>G>C>U in theratio 8.2: 4.8: 1.3: 1 respectively. No 5-pyrimidine-purineswith a 5-U and pG3pU, pC3pAand pC3pG weredetected. These studies suggest that a limited population ofRNAs would have formed in catalyzed prebiotic reactions. 相似文献

Rabbit reticulocyte lysates, gel filtered on Sephadex G-25 with or without ATP (or its analogs), were preincubated at 37°C and their subsequent binding to p3A4,3-[32P]pCp was studied. Lysates filtered without ATP or in the presence of 0.1 mM 8-bromo-ATP, 1,N6-etheno-ATP, or ITP showed a time-dependent decrease in binding activity. This decrease was completely prevented when lysates were filtered with 0.1 mM ATP, 2-deoxy-ATP, --methylene-ATP, or ATP--S. The stability of binding provided by ATP or 2-deoxy-ATP analogs corresponds to a more active 2–5A dependent endonucleolytic (RNAase L) activity based on studies using [3H] viral mRNA. Chromatography on heparin-agarose showed that ATP-supplemented gel-filtered reticulocyte lysates had a different p3A4,3-[32P]pCp binding activity elution-profile than lysates gel-filtered in the absence of ATP. Covalent cross-linking of periodate-oxidized p3A4,3-[32P]pC to gelfiltered lysates, preincubated at 0°C or 37°C for 30 min, showed the following results: (1) all lysates gave a major cross-linking of the radioactive ligand to an 80 000 dalton polypeptide, regardless of the temperature of preincubation, (2) Iysates gel-filtered without ATP, with 0.1 mM ITP, or --methylene-ATP, showed a significant reduction in the cross-linking of the 80 000 dalton protein, after preincubation at 37°C for 30 min. This decrease was accompanied by an increase in the labeling of two smaller polypeptides.Abbreviations used 2 5-oligoadenylates

Summary Adenosine 5-phosphoramidates form when solutions containing adenosine 5-polyphosphates pnA (n 3) or P1, P2-diadenosine 5-diphosphate and amines are allowed to dry out. Mg ions catalyze these reactions. We have studied systems containing ammonia, imidazole, glycine, ethylenediamine and histamine. The yields of adenosine 5-phosphoramidates range from 10–50 % based on the nucleotide. The prebiotic significance of the reactions is discussed.Abbreviations Im

Summary [13C5]-2-Deoxy-d-ribose, synthesized from [13C6]-d-glucose (98% 13C), was coupled with thymine to give [1,2,3,4,5-13C5]-thymidine (T) in an 18% overall yield. The thymidine was converted to the 3-phosphoramidite derivative and was then incorporated into a dodecamer 5-d(CGCGAATTCGCG)-3 by solid-phase DNA synthesis. Preparation of 0.24 mole of the labeled dodecamer, which is sufficient for a single NMR sample, consumed only 25 mg of glucose. By virtue of the 13C labels, all of the 1H-1H vicinal coupling constants in the sugar moieties were accurately determined by HCCH-E.COSY. 相似文献

Summary The FhuA protein in the outer membrane of Escherichia coli serves as a multifunctional receptor for the phages T5, T1, 80, for colicin M, for ferrichrome (Fe3+-siderophore) and for the structurally related antibiotic, albomycin. To determine structural domains required for these receptor functions and for export, a fusion protein between FhuA and Iut (receptor for Fe3+-aerobactin and cloacin DF13) was constructed. In the FhuA-Iut hybrid protein, 24 amino acids of FhuA were replaced by 19 amino acids, 18 of which were from Iut. The number of plaque forming units of phage T5 and T1 on cells expressing FhuA-Iut was nearly as high as on cells expressing plasmid-encoded wild-type FhuA. However, 107-fold higher concentrations of phage 80 and 103 times more colicin M were required to obtain a zone of growth inhibition. Truncated FhuA proteins in which the last 24 amino acids at the carboxy-terminus were replaced by 16 (FhuA2) or 3 (FhuAT) amino acids could hardly be detected on polyacrylamide electrophoretograms of outer membrane proteins, due to proteolytic degradation. Sensitivity of cells expressing FhuA2 to phage T5 and T1 was reduced by several orders of magnitude and sensitivity to phage 80 and colicin M was totally abolished. In contrast, cells expressing FhuAT were nearly as sensitive to phage T5, T1, and 80 and to colicin M as cells containing FhuA-Iut. None of the constructs could grow on ferrichrome as sole iron source and none was sensitive to albomycin. Ferrichrome did not inhibit binding of T5 to TonB– cells expressing FhuA-Iut (as it did in FhuA+ cells) due to the lack of ferrichrome binding. It is concluded that very small deletions (relative to the size of FhuA with 714 amino acids) at the C-terminal end render FhuA susceptible to proteolytic cleavage. The C-terminal alterations affect sensitivity to FhuA-specific agents very differently. Apparently, the C-terminus is a very important part of FhuA regarding stability and activity. Expression of active FhuA and partially inactive FhuA derivatives in the same cell revealed no negative complementation, suggesting a FhuA monomer as functional unit. 相似文献

Females of the medfly, Ceratitis capitata, prefer sucrose solutions containing ribonucleotides to sucrose solutions without them. The order of preference for the nucleotides was: 5GMP>GTP>5CMP>5IMP >dGMP>5UMP>5AMP>5XMP=ATP=2 & 3GMP=RP>3AMP.2AMP, guanosine, inosine, adenine and 5TMP produced no significant stimulation. Females sterilized by irradiation showed reduced attraction to 5GMP as compared to non-irradiated females.Optimal molecular configuration for phagostimulation includes: phosphorylation at the 5 position of the ribose, free hydroxyl groups at 2 and 3 on the ribose, and an NH2 group at the 2 position of the aromatic ring of purine.It is proposed that the 5GMP in yeast hydrolyzate can be used as a measure of the suitability of the hydrolyzate as a bait.

The oligomerization of adenosine 5-phosphoro-4-(dimethylamino)pyridinium (4-(CH3)2-NpypA) and diadenosine 5,5-pyrophosphate (A5ppA) (9:1) on Na+-montmorillonite was studied. The oligomers were isolated and analyzed by selective enzymatic hydrolyses and the oligomeric composition and the percent of 3,5-phosphodiester linkages present in each fraction was determined. The longest oligomers formed (11-mers) are slightly shorter than those produced in the absence of A5ppA (12-mers). Smaller amounts of A5ppA are incorporated into the oligomers than in the ImpA/A5ppA reaction. The regioselectivity of 3,5-phosphodiester bond formation is comparable to that of the oligomerization of 4-(CH3)2NpypA alone. An explanation of these data is proposed and the possible effect of dinucleoside pyrophosphate on prebiotic RNA formation is discussed. 相似文献

A yeast-mycelium (Y-M) transition in Candida albicans was induced by exogenous yeast extract, adenosine, adenosine 5-monophosphate (AMP), adenosine 5-diphosphate (ADP), adenosine 35 cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) and its analogue N6, O2-dibutyryl adenosine 35-cyclic monophosphate (dbcAMP) in defined liquid medium at 25°C. Adenosine 5-triphosphate (ATP) was found to delay germ tube formation in yeast cells, whereas the cAMP phosphodiesterase inhibitors, theophylline and caffeine, induced a Y-M transition. Intracellular and extracellular cyclic AMP levels increased during the yeast-mycelium transition and maximum levels of intracellular cyclic AMP coincided with maximum germ tube formation. Of the many inducers and inhibitors of germ tube and mycelium formation in C. albicans tested, including incubation at 37°C or in the presence of 1.5mM CaCl2, the calmodulin inhibitor calmidazolium (R24571) added together with CaCl2 induced the highest intra- and extracellular cyclic AMP levels. These results confirm the involvement of cyclic AMP in the yeast-mycelium transition of C. albicans. 相似文献

The fluorescent calcium-sensitive dye 1-[2-amino-5-(6-carboxyindol-2-yl)-phenoxy]-2-(2-amino-5-methylphenoxy)-ethane-N,N,N,N-tetraacetic acid (indo-1) was loaded by a transplasmalemma pH gradient into filamentous cells and protoplasts of Mougeotia scalaris, such that most of the indo-1 fluorescence originated from the cytoplasm. Incubation of M. scalaris filaments in ethylene glycol-bis(-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N,N-tetraacetic acid (EGTA)-buffered media (-log [Ca2+] (=pCa) 8 versus pCa 3) caused a consistent and significant decrease in the cytoplasmic free [Ca2+]. Pulses of the fluorescence excitation light (UV-A 365 nm, 0.7 s) caused an increase in cytoplasmic free [Ca2+] in M. scalaris that was nearly independent of the external [Ca2+] and of chloroplast dislocation by centrifugation. This calcium flux, highest in UV-A light, compared with blue or red light, probably resulted from a release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores. Increased cytoplasmic [Ca2+] may affect the velocity of chloroplast rotation since UV-A-light-mediated chloroplast movement was faster than in blue or red light. Consistently, the calcium ionophore A23187 and the calcium-channel agonist Bay-K8644 both increased the velocity of the red-light-mediated chloroplast rotation. Based on these and other observations, a Ca2+-induced decrease in cytoplasmic viscosity in Mougeotia is presumed to occur.Abbreviations EGTA

The transmembrane proton gradient of the sulfate-reducing bacterium Desulfovibrio desulfuricans strain CSN has been determined by in vivo31P nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy in the absence of dioxygen. At pH 7.0 in the medium (pHex) the intracellular pH (pHin) was 7.5. By lowering pHex to 5.9 pHin decreased to 7.1. At pHex greater than 7.7 the transmembrane proton gradient (pH) was zero. The uncouplers 3,3,4,5-tetrachlorosalicylanilide (TCS) and carbonylcyanide-m-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP), or the permeant anion thiocyanate caused complete dissipation of pH.Abbreviations

The reaction of the 5 -phosphorimidazolide of adenosine (5-ImpA) with diadenosine pyrophosphate (A5ppA) in the presence of Na+-montmorillonite in aqueous, pH 8 solution results in the regiospecific formation of A5ppA3pA and A5ppA3pA3 pA. The formation of oligomers of general structure (pA)n decreases in the presence of A5ppA. A5ppA3pA is the principal reaction product when a 1:1 ratio of ImpA and A5ppA is used. The yield of A5ppA3pA3pA is optimal when 9:1 or 4:1 ratios of ImpA: A5ppA are used. The overall regiospecificity of formation of 3,5-links is about 80%. The reaction between ImpA and A5ppA on montmorillonite differs from the self-condensation of ImpA in that it proceeds in the absence of Mg2+ and there are only small differences in oligomer yields when Na+, Li+ Ca2+, and NH

are the exchangeable cations on the montmorillonite. The reaction is inhibited by 0.4 M imidazole but the inhibition is suppressed with 0.4 M Mg2+. Little or no phosphodiester bond formation was observed with Mg2+- or Al3+-montmorillonite. Montmorillonites other than 22A and Volclay exhibited no catalysis for the formation of adducts between ImpA and A5ppA and no catalysis was exhibited in ferrugenous smectite, nontronite, allophane, or sepiolite. 相似文献

The replication origin (ori-r9) of the 9.0 kb rDNA repeats of pea (Pisum sativum, cv. Alaska) was cloned and found to reside in a 1.5 kb fragment of the non-transcribed spacer region located between the 25 S and 18 S genes. Labeled rDNA rich in replication forks, from cells positioned at the G1/S phase boundary, was used to map ori-r9 by hybridization procedures. Ori-r9 is in a 210-base fragment that is 1.6 kb from the 5 end of the 18 S gene and about 1.5 kb from the 3 end of the 25 S gene. The same procedures, using labeled synthetic ARS consensus sequence as a probe, showed than an ARS consensus sequence is located 3 to ori-r9 in a 710-base fragment. An ARS consensus sequence is, therefore, adjacent to ori-r9 but not coincidental with it. 相似文献

Summary Soluble lead salts and a number of lead-containing minerals catalyze the formation of oligonucleotides from nucleoside 5-phosphorimidazolides. The effectiveness of lead compounds correlates strongly with their solubility. Under optimal conditions we were able to obtain 18% of pentamer and higher oligomers from ImpA.

Summary Oligouridylates with more than eight chain units can serve as a template for the template-directed condensation of ImpA catalyzed by Pb2+ ion. The templates and the Pb2+ ion catalyst facilitate the formation of longer oligoadenylates with five or more units. The ratio of 3–5 linked oligomers to the 2–5 isomers increases with increasing chain length of the oligouridylate template. Short oligouridylates up to a hexamer tend to decrease the yield of oligoadenylates, and do not affect the selectivity of internucleotide linkage.Abbreviations EDTA

Summary Imidazolides of dinucleotides such as ImpApA can be formed from the corresponding dinucleotides in a two-stage process, which gives up to 15% yields under potentially prebiotic conditions. First a solution of the dinucleotide and sodium trimetaphosphate is dried out at constant temperature and humidity. This produces polyphosphates such as pnApA in excellent yield (80%). The products are dissolved in water, imidazole is added, and the solution is dried out again. This yields the 5-phosphorimidazolides.Abbreviations P3!

Summary We have studied a number of condensation reactions involving ImpU, ImpT, ImpC, ImpA, ImpG, ImpUpG and ImpCpA as activated nucleotide donors and a variety of homo- and hetero-polynucleotides as templates. We did not obtain any evidence of a template effect with ImpU and ImpT, but observed some condensation of ImpC with GpG on appropriate templates. ImpA and ImpG take part in a number of more or less efficient template-directed reactions, as do ImpUpG and ImpCpA.Our results suggest that, on the primitive Earth, pyrimidine nucleotides could most easily have been incorporated into polymers as constituents of short oligomers, which contained one or more purine nucleotide. The linkage of the product depends strongly on the nature of the substrates; the percentage of the natural 3-5-linkage was, in some cases, less than 10% and, in others, as high as 70%. Wobble-pairing was often very effective in promoting condensations, suggesting that transition mutations would have been very frequent in prebiotic polynucleotide replication.Abbreviations and Conventions U
