Significant progress has been made over the last year in our understanding of the roles that RNA-binding proteins play in pre-mRNA splicing, the components of the spliceosome and how these components relate to the mechanism of splicing. Of particular importance has been the sequence analysis of the first mammalian splicing factors and structural determination of an RNA-binding domain. 相似文献

Since its discovery, RNA editing in kinetoplastid mitochondria has proven a fascinating topic of study, and the last one and a half years have witnessed enormous advances in our understanding of this unprecedented form of RNA processing. The information flow in this RNA editing, once considered a candidate for defying the central dogma, is now known to conform to the DNA-to-RNA-to-protein paradigm, with the novel feature that the sequence of an edited region is not actually present in any DNA segment, but instead derives by a novel micro-interdigitating of information encoded in multiple DNA regions. 相似文献

Exposure of rabbit spleen cell cultures to i-RNA isolated from T2 phage-exposed rabbit peritoneal exudate cells induces the synthesis of antigen and allotype specific 19S proteins even in the presence of actinomycin D. The same i-RNA directs the synthesis of proteins with comparable properties in cell-free extracts prepared from mouse L cells, indicating that i-RNA functions as mRNA and contains the information required to code for the synthesis of IgM antibodies. 相似文献

Interaction of RNA with transformed glucocorticoid receptor. II. Identification of the RNA as transfer RNA 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
An endogenous RNA (designated as PIVB RNA), which is capable of associating with the 4 S glucocorticoid receptor (GR) to generate the 6 S form, has been purified from AtT-20 cells (Ali, M., and Vedeckis, W. V. (1987) J. Biol. Chem., 262, 6771-6777). We describe here the physiochemical properties, GR-RNA interaction characteristics, and the chemical identification of PIVB RNA. 32P-Labeled PIVB RNA was similar to transfer RNA (tRNA) in its sedimentation coefficient (4 S) on sucrose gradients, electrophoretic mobility on formaldehyde-agarose gels, and receptor binding characteristics. The amino acid acceptor activity of PIVB RNA displayed a typical tRNA-dependent saturation curve and was 2-3-fold higher than that of homologous rabbit liver tRNA when tested using rabbit liver aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase. The purified [3H] aminoacyl-PIVB complex was also capable of binding to the 4 S GR to generate the 6 S form. The analysis of PIVB RNA on an acrylamide-urea sequencing gel revealed that it contained a major tRNA of 76 nucleotides and other minor tRNA species of 74 and 78 nucleotides. The identity of the tRNA present in the PIVB RNA was indirectly deduced by analyzing the 3H-amino acids, liberated from the [3H]aminoacyl-PIVB RNA (tRNA) complex, and subsequent analysis on an amino acid analyzer. PIVB RNA mainly contained tRNAArg (51.8%), tRNALys (17.1%), and tRNAHis (9.2%) which together accounted for 78% of the total PIVB tRNA. The remaining 22% of tRNA was contributed by threonine, valine, aspartic acid, alanine, and phenylalanine tRNAs. The GR displayed no species specificity, and tRNA samples from mouse, cow, rabbit, yeast, and Escherichia coli can bind to the mouse 4 S GR to generate the 6 S form. However, PIVB RNA did not affect the sedimentation profiles of albumin, chymotrypsinogen, and histone, indicating that PIVB RNA does not bind to all proteins. Thus, there may exist some specificity both at the level of protein (GR) and the selection of RNA (tRNA). The GR binding to PIVB RNA occurred at low (nM) receptor concentration, and PIVB RNA showed limited capacity to shift 4 S GR to the 6 S form. 22.4 X 10(-11) mol of PIVB RNA can completely shift 4.8 X 10(-13) mol of 4 S GR to 6 S. That is, PIVB RNA has to be in a 500-600-fold excess over the amounts of GR to observe a stable 6 S GR X RNA complex on sucrose gradients. These results conclusively demonstrate that the transformed GR specifically binds to endogenous tRNA. 相似文献
