The genes for nine ribosomal proteins, L24, L5, S14, S8, L6, L18, S5, L30, and L15, have been isolated and sequenced from the spc operon in the archaeon (Crenarchaeota) Sulfolobus acidocaldarius, and the putative amino acid sequence of the proteins coded by these genes has been determined. In addition, three other genes in the spc operon, coding for ribosomal proteins S4E, L32E, and L19E (equivalent to rat ribosomal proteins S4, L32, and L19), were sequenced and the structure of the putative proteins was determined. The order of the ribosomal protein genes in the spc operon of the Crenarchaeota kingdom of Archaea is identical to that present in the Euryarchaeota kingdom of Archaea and also identical to that found in bacteria, except for the genes for r-proteins S4E, L32E, and L19E, which are absent in bacteria. Although AUG is the initiation codon in most of the spc genes, GUG (val) and UUG (leu) are also used as initiation codons in S. acidocaldarius. Over 70% of the codons in the Sulfolobus spc operon have A or U in the third position, reflecting the low GC content of Sulfolobus DNA. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that the archaeal r-proteins are a sister group of their eucaryotic counterparts but did not resolve the question of whether the Archaea is monophyletic, as suggested by the L6P, L15P, and L18P trees, or the question of whether the Crenarchaeota is separate from the Euryarchaeota and closer to the Eucarya, as suggested by the S8P, S5P, and L24P trees. In the case of the three Sulfolobus r-proteins that do not have a counterpart in the bacterial ribosome (S4E, L32E, and L19E), the archaeal r-proteins showed substantial identity to their eucaryotic equivalents, but in all cases the archaeal proteins formed a separate group from the eucaryotic proteins.  相似文献

Ribosomal proteins in halobacteria   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
The amino acid sequences of 16 ribosomal proteins from archaebacterium Halobacterium marismortui have been determined by a direct protein chemical method. In addition, amino acid sequences of three proteins, S11, S18, and L25, have been established by DNA sequencing of their genes as well as by protein sequencing. Comparison of their sequences with those of ribosomal proteins from other organisms revealed that proteins S14, S16, S19, and L25 are related to both eukaryotic and eubacterial ribosomal proteins, being more homologous to eukaryotic than eubacterial counterparts, and proteins S12, S15, and L16 are related to only eukaryotic ribosomal proteins. Furthermore, some proteins are found to be similar to only eubacterial proteins, whereas other proteins show no homology to any other known ribosomal proteins. Comparisons of amino acid compositions between halophilic and nonhalophilic ribosomal proteins revealed that halophilic proteins gain aspartic and glutamic acid residues and significantly lose lysine and arginine residues. In addition, halophilic proteins seem to lose isoleucine as compared with Escherichia coli ribosomal proteins.  相似文献

The cytoplasmic ribosomal proteins from a fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe were analysed by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Seventy-three protein species were identified in the 80S ribosome, and named SP-S1 to SP-S33 and SP-L1 to SP-L40 in the small and large subunits, respectively. Many of these proteins could be correlated to those of Saccharomyces cerevisiae on the basis of their electrophoretic mobilities. Eleven proteins were isolated from the 80S ribosome, and their amino acid compositions were determined. Of these, SP-S6, SP-L1, SP-L12, SP-L15, SP-L17, SP-L27, SP-L36 and SP-L40c and d were sequenced from their amino-termini. SP-S28 and SP-L2 appear to have their amino-termini blocked. These results were compared with the data available for the S. cerevisiae and rat liver ribosomal proteins. The S. cerevisiae counterparts of the eight proteins mentioned above were found to be YS4, YL1, YL10, YL14, YL35, YL40 and YL44c and d, respectively. The rat liver counterparts of SP-S6, SP-L1, SP-L27 and SP-L40c and d were the rat S6, L4, L37 and P2, respectively. Comparison of the partial sequences of these ribosomal proteins suggests that these two yeasts are relatively far apart, phylogenetically.  相似文献

Mutants with alterations in the structural genes for ribosomal proteins S15, L21, and L27 were used in mapping the genes coding for these proteins. Results from P1kc-mediated transductions indicate that the genes for L21 (rplU) and L27 (rpmA) form a gene cluster and are located between argG and gltB at 68.1 min, whereas the gene for S15 (rpsO) is situated close to, but on the opposite side or, argG. The gene order in this region is concluded to be gltB-(rplU, rpmA)-argG-rpsO-mtr.  相似文献

Four genes encoding ribosomal proteins HmaS17, HmaL14, HmaL24 and HS3, have been identified in the lambda EMBL3 clone PP*7 from a genomic library of the archaebacterium Halobacterium marismortui. The clone contains genes from the 'S10 and spectinomycin' operon equivalent region. Three of the deduced proteins are homologous to the corresponding Escherichia coli and Methancoccus vannielii S17, L14 and L24 proteins, as well as to eukaryotic proteins from rat or yeast. HS3 was identified as an extra protein corresponding to the gene product for orfc in M. vannielii and the eukaryotic ribosomal protein RS4 from rat. The equivalence of HmaL24 (HL16) and E. coli L24, which share only 28% identical amino acid residues, could now be shown by localizing the HmaL24 gene at the same position in the cluster.  相似文献

Proteins from primary cultures of type II granular pneumocytes have been examined by sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis to identify type II cell-specific proteins. The distribution of Coomassie Blue-stained bands in preparations of cellular proteins, culture medium, lavage and lamellar bodies have been compared. The most prominent stained band in the serum-free medium from type II cell cultures (HS1; Mr 39900) corresponds to a major protein in acellular sedimentable (20000 g for 30 min) crude surfactant obtained from rat lungs by saline (0.9% NaCl) lavage. A second protein (HS2; Mr 12000) is also found both in type II cell-conditioned medium and in lavage. Neither rat serum nor donor calf serum (used in the isolation of the type II cells) contains a protein co-migrating with HS1 or HS2 proteins. HS1 is also found in Coomassie Blue-stained gels of cellular proteins and of lamellar bodies isolated from whole lungs. Cultures of type II cells incorporate [14C]phenylalanine into HS1 and HS2 as shown by autoradiography of sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide gels of culture medium. Rat lungs perfused in situ incorporate [35S]methionine into HS1 in the lamellar body fraction. A third protein (HS3; Mr 47000) is observed only in autoradiographs of cell culture medium; no corresponding Coomassie Blue-stained band can be identified in medium, in cells or in lung lavage. No protein bands corresponding to HS1, HS2 or HS3 are found in conditioned media from pulmonary alveolar macrophages, rat fibroblasts or bovine aorta endothelial cells. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis of HS1 shows a single polypeptide with an isoelectric point of 6.3; HS3 appears as a chain of spots with a range of isoelectric points from 6.3 to 6.6. HS2 has not been identified on two-dimensional gels. The amino acid composition of HS1 does not differ significantly from that of surfactant apoproteins studied previously; however, HS1 is not detected by glycoprotein stains, nor does it appear to be a subunit of a thiol-linked multimer.  相似文献

We identified 34 new ribosomal protein genes in the Schizosaccharomyces pombe database at the Sanger Centre coding for 30 different ribosomal proteins. All contain the Homol D-box in their promoter. We have shown that Homol D is, in this promoter type, the TATA-analogue. Many promoters contain the Homol E-box, which serves as a proximal activation sequence. Furthermore, comparative sequence analysis revealed a ribosomal protein gene encoding a protein which is the equivalent of the mammalian ribosomal protein L28. The budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has no L28 equivalent. Over the past 10 years we have isolated and characterized nine ribosomal protein (rp) genes from the fission yeast S.pombe . This endeavor yielded promoters which we have used to investigate the regulation of rp genes. Since eukaryotic ribosomal proteins are remarkably conserved and several rp genes of the budding yeast S.cerevisiae were sequenced in 1985, we probed DNA fragments encoding S.cerevisiae ribosomal proteins with genomic libraries of S.pombe . The deduced amino acid sequence of the different isolated rp genes of fission yeast share between 65 and 85% identical amino acids with their counterparts of budding yeast.  相似文献

Using data from a partial protein sequence analysis of ribosomal proteins derived from the archaebacterium Methanococcus vannielii, oligonucleotide probes were synthesized. The probes enabled us to localize several ribosomal protein genes and to determine their nucleotide sequences. The amino acid sequences that were deduced from the genes correspond to proteins L12 and L10 from the rif operon, according to the genome organization in Escherichia coli, and to proteins L23 and L2, which have comparable locations, as in the Escherichia coli S10 operon. Various degrees of similarity were found when the four proteins were compared with the corresponding ribosomal proteins of prokaryotic or eukaryotic organisms. The highest sequence homology was found in counterparts from other archaebacteria, such as Halobacterium marismortui, Halobacterium halobium, or Sulfolobus. In general, the M. vannielii protein sequences were more related to the eukaryotic kingdom than to the Gram-positive or Gram-negative eubacteria. On the other hand, the organization of the ribosomal protein genes clearly follows the operon structure of the Escherichia coli genome and is different from the monocistronic eukaryotic gene arrangements. The protein coding regions were not interrupted by introns. Furthermore, the Shine-Dalgarno type sequences of methanogenic bacteria are homologous with those of eubacteria, and also their terminator regions are similar.  相似文献

Recently, we have defined and analyzed over 1800 orthologous human and rodent genes. Here we extend this work to compare human and Caenorhabditis elegans coding sequences. 1880 human proteins were compared with about 20000 predicted nematode proteins presumably comprising nearly the complete proteome of C. elegans. We found that 44% of human/rodent orthologs have convincing nematode counterparts. On average, the amino acid similarity and identity between aligned human and C. elegans orthologous gene products are 69.3% and 49.1% respectively, and the nucleotide identity is 49.8%. Detailed investigation of our results suggests that some nematode gene predictions are incorrect, leading to erroneous pairing with human genes (e.g. calcineurin and polymerase II elongation factor III). Furthermore, other proteins (i.e. homologs of human ribosomal proteins S20 and L41, thymosin) are missing entirely from the nematode proteome, suggesting that it may not be complete. These results underscore the fact that metazoan gene prediction is a very challenging task and that most computer-predicted nematode genes require supporting evidence of their existence from comparative genomics and/or laboratory investigation.  相似文献

A search of the Strongylocentrotus purpuratus genome for genes associated with cell cycle control and DNA metabolism shows that the known repertoire of these genes is conserved in the sea urchin, although with fewer family members represented than in vertebrates, and with some cases of echinoderm-specific gene diversifications. For example, while homologues of the known cyclins are mostly encoded by single genes in S. purpuratus (unlike vertebrates, which have multiple isoforms), there are additional genes encoding novel cyclins of the B and K/L types. Almost all known cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) or CDK-like proteins have an orthologue in S. purpuratus; CDK3 is one exception, whereas CDK4 and 6 are represented by a single homologue, referred to as CDK4. While the complexity of the two families of mitotic kinases, Polo and Aurora, is close to that found in the nematode, the diversity of the NIMA-related kinases (NEK proteins) approaches that of vertebrates. Among the nine NEK proteins found in S. purpuratus, eight could be assigned orthologues in vertebrates, whereas the ninth is unique to sea urchins. Most known DNA replication, DNA repair and mitotic checkpoint genes are also present, as are homologues of the pRB (two) and p53 (one) tumor suppressors. Interestingly, the p21/p27 family of CDK inhibitors is represented by one homologue, whereas the INK4 and ARF families of tumor suppressors appear to be absent, suggesting that these evolved only in vertebrates. Our results suggest that, while the cell cycle control mechanisms known from other animals are generally conserved in sea urchin, parts of the machinery have diversified within the echinoderm lineage. The set of genes uncovered in this analysis of the S. purpuratus genome should enhance future research on cell cycle control and developmental regulation in this model.  相似文献

To assess the organization of the Thermus thermophilus ribosomal protein genes, a fragment of DNA containing the complete S10 region and ten ribosomal protein genes of the spc region was cloned, using an oligonucleotide coding for the N-terminal amino acid (aa) sequence of T. thermophilus S8 protein as hybridization probe. The nucleotide sequence of a 4290 bp region between the rps17 and rpl15 genes was determined. Comparative analysis of this gene cluster showed that the gene arrangement (S17, L14, L24, L5, S14, S8, L6, L18, S5, L30 and L15) is identical to that of eubacteria. However, T. thermophilus ribosomal protein genes corresponding to the Escherichia coli S10 and spc operons are not resolved into two clusters: the stop codon of the rps17 gene (the last gene of the S10 operon in E. coli) and the start codon of the rpl14 gene (the first gene of the spc operon in E. coli) overlap. Most genes, except the rps14-rps8 intergenic spacer (69 bp), are separated by very short (only 3–7 bp) spacer regions or partially overlapped. The deduced aa sequences of T. thermophilus proteins share about 51–100% identities with the sequences of homologous proteins from thermophile Thermus aquaticus and Thermotoga maritima and 27–70% identities with the sequences of their mesophile counterparts.  相似文献

Heart failure is often characterized by skeletal muscle atrophy. The mechanisms underlying muscle wasting, however, are not fully understood. We studied 30 Dahl salt-sensitive rats (10 male, 20 female) fed either a high-salt (HS; n = 15) or a low-salt (LS; n = 15) diet. This strain develops cardiac hypertrophy and failure when fed a HS diet. LS controls were matched to HS rats for gender and duration of diet. Body mass, food intake, and muscle mass and composition were measured. Skeletal muscle protein synthesis was measured by isotope dilution. An additional group of 27 rats (HS, n = 16; LS; n = 11) were assessed for expression of genes regulating protein breakdown and apoptosis. Gastrocnemius and plantaris muscles weighed less (16 and 22%, respectively) in HS than in LS rats (P < 0.01). No differences in soleus or tibialis anterior weights were found. Differences in muscle mass were abolished after data were expressed relative to body size, because HS rats tended (P = 0.094) to weigh less. Lower body mass in HS rats was related to a 16% reduction (P < 0.01) in food intake. No differences in muscle protein or DNA content, the protein-to-DNA ratio, or muscle protein synthesis were found. Finally, no differences in skeletal muscle gene expression were found to suggest increased protein breakdown or apoptosis in HS rats. Our results suggest that muscle wasting in this model of heart failure is not associated with alterations in skeletal muscle metabolism. Instead, muscle atrophy was related to reduced body weight secondary to decreased food intake. These findings argue against the notion that heart failure is characterized by a skeletal muscle myopathy that predisposes to atrophy.  相似文献

We have conducted a proteomic analysis of the 80S cytosolic ribosome from the eukaryotic green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, and accompany this with a cryo-electron microscopy structure of the ribosome. Proteins homologous to all but one rat 40S subunit protein, including a homolog of RACK1, and all but three rat 60S subunit proteins were identified as components of the C. reinhardtii ribosome. Expressed Sequence Tag (EST) evidence and annotation of the completed C. reinhardtii genome identified genes for each of the four proteins not identified by proteomic analysis, showing that algae potentially have a complete set of orthologs to mammalian 80S ribosomal proteins. Presented at 25A, the algal 80S ribosome is very similar in structure to the yeast 80S ribosome, with only minor distinguishable differences. These data show that, although separated by billions of years of evolution, cytosolic ribosomes from photosynthetic organisms are highly conserved with their yeast and animal counterparts.  相似文献

The majority of constitutive proteins in the bacterial 30S ribosomal subunit have orthologues in Eukarya and Archaea. The eukaryotic counterparts for the remainder (S6, S16, S18 and S20) have not been identified. We assumed that amino acid residues in the ribosomal proteins that contact rRNA are to be constrained in evolution and that the most highly conserved of them are those residues that are involved in forming the secondary protein structure. We aligned the sequences of the bacterial ribosomal proteins from the S20p, S18p and S16p families, which make multiple contacts with rRNA in the Thermus thermophilus 30S ribosomal subunit (in contrast to the S6p family), with the sequences of the unassigned eukaryotic small ribosomal subunit protein families. This made it possible to reveal that the conserved structural motifs of S20p, S18p and S16p that contact rRNA in the bacterial ribosome are present in the ribosomal proteins S25e, S26e and S27Ae, respectively. We suggest that ribosomal protein families S20p, S18p and S16p are homologous to the families S25e, S26e and S27Ae, respectively.  相似文献
