Methods were devised for the assay of tRNA methylases of rat bone. The activities of bone tRNA methylases are similar to those from other mammalian tissues. However, unlike reports on liver methylases, no inhibitors were found in the supernatant fraction from pH5 precipitate of bone extracts. The effects of vitamins A and D on the methylation of tRNA by cell-free extracts of rat bone were studied. Deficiency of either vitamin resulted in a decrease in the rate and extent of tRNA methylation, whereas the administration of vitamin A to hypovitaminotic-A rats and vitamin D to hypovitaminotic-D rats increased the rate and extent of tRNA methylation. These effects appear to be apart from changes in ribonuclease activity or in concentrations of calcium or magnesium. No evidence of inhibitors of tRNA methylases was found in bone extracts from vitamin-deficient rats nor of activators in bone extracts from deficient rats given vitamin A or D. The pattern of tRNA methylation under conditions of vitamin A or D deficiency was not changed, suggesting a generalized cellular deficiency. It was of significance to find that the specificity for methylation of specific bases in tRNA was different after the administration of vitamin A as contrasted with the effects of vitamin D. The possible significance of tRNA methylation to the biochemical action of the vitamins on bone is discussed. 相似文献

The transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA) methylases of the housefly was isolated from different tissues. The activity of this enzyme was tested during the life cycle of the insect. The data show how enzyme activity changes during the course of metamorphosis of the housefly, Musca domestica. 相似文献

Sequence content of oligo(uridylic acid)-containing messenger ribonucleic acid from HeLa cells 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Oligo(uridylic acid)-containing [oligo(U+)] RNA was isolated from poly(adenylic acid)-containing [poly(A+)] mRNA from HeLa cells by using either formaldehyde pretreatment or poly(A) removal, both of which resulted in increased accessibility of oligo(U)-rich sequences to a poly(A)-agarose affinity column. In this report, we compared the sequence content of oligo(U+) RNA with that of molecules lacking oligo(U) [oligo(U-) RNA] by their relative hybridization to cDNA reverse-transcribed from poly(A+) mRNA and by comparison of their in vitro translation products synthesized in a rabbit reticulocyte lysate. Formaldehyde-modified poly(A+) RNA, treated to remove the formol adjuncts, was inactive as a template for in vitro protein synthesis; consequently, only depolyadenylated RNA, which retains its translatability, could be used in the translation studies. The hybridization kinetic experiments revealed that oligo(U+) RNA contained most of the sequence information present in oligo(U-) RNA but at a reduced level (ca. 25%), the majority of the oligo(U+) RNA sequences being poorly represented in the cDNA. This result was supported by one- and two-dimensional gel analysis of their in vitro translation products which showed that oligo(U+) RNA, although less effective as a template for translation than oligo(U-) RNA, coded for proteins, the most abundant of which were encoded by rare messages not highly represented in oligo(U-) RNA or the total poly(A+) RNA. Although some minor products were synthesized by both oligo(U+) and oligo(U-) RNA, at least 33 proteins were unique to or highly enriched in the pattern of products directed by oligo(U+) RNA.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献
