Antibodies specific for N6-(delta 2-isopentenyl) adenosine (i6A) were immobilized on Sepharose and this adsorbent (Sepharose-anti-i6A) was used to selectively isolate bacteriophage T4 tRNA precursors containing i6A/ms2i6A from an unfractionated population of 32P-labeled T4 RNAs. The results showed that antibodies to i6A selectively bound only those tRNA precursors containing i6A/ms2i6A. Binding of tRNA precursors by antibody and specificity of the binding was assessed by membrane binding using 32P-labeled tRNA precursor. Binding was highly specific for i6A/ms2i6A residues in the tRNA precursors. This binding can be used to separate modified from unmodified precursor RNAs and to study the biosynthetic pathways of tRNA precursors. 相似文献

Three mouse hybridomas secreting antibodies against the undecapeptide Lys-Pro-Pro-Thr-Pro-Pro-Pro-Glu-Pro-Glu-Thr, corresponding to the carboxy terminus of simian virus 40 large T antigen, were isolated and cloned. A sensitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to characterize the properties of the monoclonal antibodies. All three hybridomas, designated KT1, KT3, and KT4, produced antibodies that immunoprecipitated large T. The antibodies differed in their affinities for the peptide and for the native protein. Antibodies from KT3 precipitated large T better than those from KT1 or KT4. KT3 antibodies also had the highest affinity for the free peptide (5.2 X 10(6) M-1) as determined by radioimmunoassay; KT1 and KT4 antibodies had ca. 5- and 1,000-fold lower affinities, respectively. Inhibition studies with shorter peptides, overlapping the undecapeptide, revealed the approximate regions recognized by the different monoclonal antibodies. KT3 antibodies bound to a region within the carboxy-terminal six amino acids of large T. Antibodies from KT1 and KT4 reacted with sequences located further towards the amino terminus of the undecapeptide. Surprising results were obtained with KT4 antibodies. Their binding to the undecapeptide was completely inhibited by the undecapeptide itself or the carboxy-terminal hexapeptide. The carboxy-terminal pentamer, on the other hand, slightly enhanced binding, and the carboxy-terminal tetramer, Glu-Pro-Glu-Thr, was strongly stimulatory. A model for this effect is proposed. Using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, we confirmed previous studies (W. Deppert and G. Walter, Virology 122:56-70, 1982) which found that antiserum against sodium dodecyl sulfate-denatured large T reacts strongly with the carboxy terminus of large T. By inhibition studies, we identified the approximate region within the undecapeptide recognized by anti-sodium dodecyl sulfate-denatured large T and compared this region with the region identified by antipeptide serum. 相似文献

Purification of a tyrosine-specific protein kinase from Rous sarcoma virus-induced rat tumor 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
We have identified a tyrosine kinase activity present in tumors which were raised in rats by subcutaneous injection of Rous sarcoma virus-transformed rat cells (SR-NRK). This kinase phosphorylates tyrosine on the heavy chain of IgG from tumor-bearing rabbit (TBR) sera specific for the src gene product, pp60src. Using TBR-IgG phosphorylation as an assay, we have purified this kinase over 7200-fold. The purification procedure involves detergent extraction of tumors followed by sequential column chromatography on hydroxylapatite, DEAE-Sephacel, oligodeoxyadenosine-cellulose, an affinity column prepared from TBR-sera, and Sephacryl S-200. The IgG kinase activity behaves as a molecule of apparent Mr = 54,000 on Sephacryl S-200 molecular sieve chromatography. Analysis of the Sephacryl fractions by SDS-PAGE indicates that a major Coomassie blue-stained band with an apparent Mr = 54,000 (p54), co-elutes with the peak of kinase activity. From 600 g of tumors, approximately 200 micrograms of p54 are obtained. We have four types of evidence which show that p54 is related to pp60src. 1) Purified p54 is capable of undergoing endogenous phosphorylation in the presence of [gamma-32P]ATP producing a 32P-labeled pp54 polypeptide which is specifically immunoprecipitated by TBR-sera and contains only phosphotyrosine. 2) Purified p54 competes with 32P-labeled pp60src for binding to TBR-IgG, indicating a degree of purification over starting material which agrees very well with the results obtained by the IgG kinase assay. 3) V8 protease digestion of pp60src and p54 suggests that they share a common 26,000 fragment. 4) Antibodies to partially purified p54 specifically precipitate pp60src from Rous sarcoma virus-transformed chicken cells. 相似文献

Antibody-nucleic acid complexes. Antigenic domains within nucleosides as defined by solid-phase immunoassay 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The usefulness of solid-phase immunoassays for the characterization of anti-nucleoside antibodies was investigated. Antibodies specific for guanosine (G), 7-methyl-guanosine (m7G), and cytidine (C) were obtained from the serum of rabbits immunized with nucleoside-KLH (keyhole limpet hemocyanin) conjugates. Solid-phase assays consisted of measuring the ability of these antibodies to be retained by microtiter wells containing immobilized nucleoside-BSA (bovine serum albumin) conjugates. Nucleosides employed as haptens included adenosine (A), N6-methyl-A (m6A), guanosine (G), N2,N2-dimethyl-G (m22G), 1-methyl-G (m1G), O6-methyl-G (m6G), 7-methyl-G (m7G), cytidine (C), 5-methyl-C (m5C), uridine (U), and ribothymidine (T). Spectral analysis of these conjugates revealed that 15-20 nucleosides were coupled to each BSA molecule. Quantitative information regarding the various reactions associated with these assays was obtained by employing antigen and antibody (IgG) preparations radiochemically labeled via reductive methylation using NaB3H4 and formaldehyde (specific activities 0.6-2.1 X 10(6) cpm/micrograms). Data obtained with 3H-labeled antigens indicated that the adsorption of all nucleoside-BSA conjugates was uniform and irreversible with respect to the assay conditions used. Assays designed to measure antibody binding in the presence of excess antigen revealed that (i) nonspecific binding to immobilized BSA was negligible, (ii) as little as 0.5 ng of bound antibody could be detected, (iii) antibody retention was directly proportional to antibody concentration, and (iv) each anti-nucleoside antibody cross-reacted to a considerable extent with nonhomologous haptens.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Antibodies directed to modified nucleosides recognize the nucleoside (antigen) when it is present in an intact tRNA molecule. The general application of anti-nucleoside immunoadsorbent chromatography, however, has been greatly impeded by the apparent inefficiency and low capacity of conventional immunoadsorbents for transfer RNA. Antibodies specific for isopentenyladenosine (i6A) were employed to investigate the efficacy of various immunoadsorbents with respect to immobilization of antibody protein and with respect to their ability to bind i6A-containing tRNAs. Biologically active anti-i6A was recovered in high yield (80-88%) by affinity chromatography on i6A-adipate-Sepharose 4B or i6A-butane diglycidyl ether-Sepharose 4B using either 15% pyridine in phosphate-buffered saline or 0.2 M acetic acid as eluents. The binding capacity of various anti-i6A antibody immunoadsorbents was evaluated. While both anti-i6A antibody-protein A-agarose-iminothiolane (ITL) and anti-i6A antibody-protein A-agarose-dimethyl suberimidate showed a high capacity for i6A-tRNA, the latter column is much less efficient with respect to antibody immobilization. Under optimal conditions, the ITL immunoadsorbent binds 5-6 nmol of i6A/mg of antibody protein. With respect to bulk tRNA, 1 mg of antibody protein (ITL immunoadsorbent) binds all of the i6A-tRNA in a 1-mg sample. 相似文献

Antibodies to the synthetic polypeptide (T,G)-A--L were raised in C57BL/10 and C3H.SW mice. For each strain, the anti-(T,G)-A--L antibodies from 10 animals were pooled, affinity purified on a (T,G)-A--L-Sepharose column, and used to immunize Lewis rats. The resulting rat antisera were adsorbed with insolubilized normal mouse globulin in order to remove anti-isotypic and anti-allotypic antibodies. The residual antibodies specifically inhibited the binding of (T,G)-A--L by anti-(T,G)-A--L as measured by a radioimmunoassay. The specificity of this inhibition was demonstrated as follows: 1) failure of the anti-(T,G)-A--L anti-idiotype to inhibit the binding of nuclease to anti-nuclease antibody of the same allotype; 2) failure of Lewis anti-[B10 anti-(T,G)-A--L] to inhibit C3H.SW anti-(T,G)-A--L and vice versa; 3) ability to absorb anti-C3H.SW anti-idiotypic activity on insolubilized C3H.SW anti-(T,G)-A--L but not on B10 anti-(T,G)-A--L. The same or cross-reactive idiotype(s) was present in the majority of individuals of each of these strains. 相似文献

Antibodies highly specific for intact pm7G (7methylguanosine-5'-mono-phosphate) were induced by immunization of rabbits with a pm7G-BSA conjugate. Since the nucleotide is six-fold more stable than m7G (7-methylguanosine) to alkali-catalyzed fission of the imidazole ring, it is a more desirable antigen for obtaining antibodies capable of binding caps on eukaryotic mRNA. UV spectra demonstrated that the nucleotide in the conjugate was predominantly the intact form. Competition radioimmunoassay showed 1) high apparent affinities for pm7G, on the order of 10(-8)M, 2) low competition by the ring-opened form of the homologous hapten (*pm7G), and by m7G, 3) little or no competition by AMP, GMP, CMP, UMP or m6A, and 4) high apparent affinities for m7GpppAm, m7GpppN6MAm, m7GpppGm, m7GpppA. 相似文献

Antibodies directed against phosphothreonine residues as potent tools for studying protein phosphorylation 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Here we report the development of novel antibodies which specifically react with phosphothreonine residues [anti-(P-Thr)antibodies]. The specificity of the antibodies was assessed in radioimmunoassays where we could demonstrate that half-maximal and maximal binding of the antibodies to plates coated with BSA - P-Thr occurred at serum dilutions of 1:4000 and 1:1000, respectively. P-Thr inhibited antibody binding with a half-maximal effect at 40 microM. P-Ser was 200-fold less potent while P-Tyr was essentially ineffective. Anti-(P-Thr) antibodies could specifically bind to phosphothreonine-containing proteins on Western blots. Using such a procedure we could demonstrate enhanced threonine phosphorylation of the EGF receptor upon treatment of intact unlabeled A431 cells with EGF. We could further demonstrate antibodies binding to proteins present in extracts of rat hepatoma cells (Fao). P-Thr at 10 microM completely inhibited antibody binding while P-Ser, P-Tyr, Thr or Ser, each present at tenfold higher concentrations, had no such inhibitory effect. Anti-(P-Thr) antibodies were also capable of specifically immunoprecipitating 32P-labeled phosphoproteins present in Triton extracts of Fao cells. Immunoprecipitation of proteins of 38 kDa, 55 kDa, 85 kDa, 100 kDa and 155 kDa was inhibited by 1 mM P-Thr but not by P-Tyr. These findings suggest that anti-(P-Thr) antibodies could be powerful tools in studies aimed at monitoring alterations in threonine phosphorylation of specific proteins as they occur under physiological conditions in response to various extracellular stimuli. Identification of such proteins can be conveniently monitored by immunoblotting. 相似文献

The possibility to purify glucose oxidase from Penicillium vitale on immunosorbent containing specific antibodies to the enzyme covalently bound with Sepharose 4B is studied. The method of affinity chromatography was applied, beside routine methods of fractionating blood serum proteins, to isolate specific antibodies from antiserum of rabbits immunized with glucose oxidase. Immobilized on Sepharose glucose oxidase was used as biospecific sorbent. Specific antibodies to the enzyme were isolated using chromatograpy of gamma-globulins mixture followed by protein desorption from the column with 1 M NaC1 and 3% glucose. Antibodies were immobilized by their covalent binding to activated Sepharose. The immunosorbent obtained was used to purify low active preparation of glucose oxidase by means of affinity chromatography under conditions worked out for the antibodies isolation. The enzyme was eluted from the column with 1 M NaC1 (pH 3.0) containing 3% glucose. 5-Fold purified enzyme preparation was isolated. 相似文献

Antibodies specific for intact 2,2,7-trimethylguanosine (m3 2,2,7G) were induced by immunization of rabbits with a nucleoside-human serum albumen (HSA) conjugate. Competition radioimmunoassay showed that the antibody distinguishes well between intact m3 2,2,7G and its alkali-hydrolysed form (m3 2,2,7G*). Antibody specificity is largely dependent on the presence of all three methyl groups in m3 2,2,7G: none of the less extensively methylated nucleosides m7G, m2G and m2 2,2G is able to compete efficiently with the homologous hapten. Little or no competition was observed with m1G, m1A, m6A, m5U and each of the four unmodified ribonucleosides. Binding studies with nucleoplasmic RNAs from Ehrlich ascites cells suggest that the antibody reacts specifically with the m3 2,2,7G-containing cap structure of the small nuclear U-RNAs (U-snRNAs). Thus the antibody should be a valuable tool for studying the role of the 5'-terminal regions of the U-snRNAs of eucaryotic cells. 相似文献

Estradiol receptor: phosphorylation on tyrosine in uterus and interaction with anti-phosphotyrosine antibody. 总被引:3,自引:1,他引:2

Estradiol receptor from rat uteri incubated with [32P] orthophosphate has been purified by diethylstilbestrol--Sepharose followed by heparin--Sepharose chromatography. The purified receptor, analyzed by centrifugation through sucrose gradients after incubation with monoclonal antibodies against purified estradiol receptor, appears to be labeled with 32P. The receptor preparation has been further purified by immunoaffinity chromatography and submitted to SDS--poly-acrylamide gel electrophoresis. A heavily 32P-labeled 68 kd protein and a very lightly 32P-labeled 48 kd protein, probably a proteolytic product of the 68 kd protein, were detected. Phosphoamino acid analysis of the receptor eluted from the immunoaffinity column shows that its 32P-labeling occurs exclusively on tyrosine. This is the first report on phosphorylation on tyrosine of a steroid receptor in tissue. It is consistent with our previous finding that a uterus estradiol receptor-kinase, which confers hormone binding ability to the estradiol receptor, in vitro phosphorylates this receptor exclusively on tyrosine. Calf uterus receptor binds with high specificity and affinity to monoclonal anti-phosphotyrosine antibodies covalently bound to Sepharose (Kd = 0.28 nM). Dephosphorylation of the receptor by nuclei containing the calf uterus nuclear phosphatase abolishes the interaction with antibodies. These results suggest that also in calf uterus, estradiol receptor is phosphorylated on tyrosine. Anti-phosphotyrosine antibodies bound to Sepharose have been used to partially purify the estradiol receptor from calf uterus. 相似文献

Growth hormone promoted tyrosyl phosphorylation of growth hormone receptors in murine 3T3-F442A fibroblasts and adipocytes 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

Because many growth factor receptors are ligand-activated tyrosine protein kinases, the possibility that growth hormone (GH), a hormone implicated in human growth, promotes tyrosyl phosphorylation of its receptor was investigated. 125I-Labeled human GH was covalently cross-linked to receptors in intact 3T3-F442A fibroblasts, a cell line which differentiates into adipocytes in response to GH. The cross-linked cells were solubilized and passed over a column of phosphotyrosyl binding antibody immobilized on protein A-Sepharose. Immunoadsorbed proteins were eluted with a hapten (p-nitrophenyl phosphate) and analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and autoradiography. The eluate from the antibody column contained an Mr 134,000 125I-GH-receptor complex. A similar result was obtained when the adipocyte form of 3T3-F442A cells was used in place of the fibroblast form. O-Phosphotyrosine prevented 125I-GH-receptor complexes from binding to the antibody column, whereas O-phosphoserine and O-phosphothreonine did not. In studies of GH-promoted phosphorylation in 3T3-F442A fibroblasts labeled metabolically with [32P]Pi, GH was shown to stimulate formation of a 32P-labeled protein which bound to immobilized phosphotyrosyl binding antibodies. The molecular weight of 114,000 obtained for this protein is similar to that expected for non-cross-linked GH receptor. The Mr 114,000 phosphorylated protein could be immunoprecipitated with anti-GH antibody, indicating that GH remained noncovalently bound to this protein during absorption to and elution from the immobilized phosphotyrosyl binding antibody. Phosphoamino acid analysis after both limited acid hydrolysis and extensive base hydrolysis of the Mr 114,000 phosphoprotein confirmed the presence of phosphotyrosyl residues.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

The sodium channel purified from rat brain is composed of three subunits: alpha (Mr 260,000), beta 1 (Mr 36,000), and beta 2 (Mr 33,000). alpha and beta 2 subunits are linked through disulfide bonds. Procedures are described for preparative isolation of the beta 1 and beta 2 subunits under native conditions. Pure beta 2 subunits obtained by this procedure were used to prepare a specific anti-beta 2 subunit antiserum. Antibodies purified from this serum by antigen affinity chromatography recognize only disulfide-linked alpha beta 2 complexes and beta 2 subunits in immunoblots, and immunoprecipitate 32P-labeled alpha subunits of purified sodium channels having intact disulfide bonds, but not those of sodium channels from which beta 2 subunits have been detached by reduction of disulfide bonds. These antibodies also immunoprecipitate 89% of the high affinity saxitoxin-binding sites from rat brain membranes, indicating that nearly all sodium channels in rat brain have disulfide-linked alpha beta 2 subunits. Approximately 22% of beta 2 subunits in adult rat brain are not disulfide-linked to alpha subunits. Anti-beta 2 subunit antibodies are specific for sodium channels in the central nervous system and will not cross-react with sodium channels in skeletal muscle or sciatic nerve. The brains of a broad range of vertebrate species, including electric eel, are shown to express sodium channels with disulfide-linked alpha beta 2 subunits. 相似文献

Immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) is the most abundant circulating human antibody and also the scaffold for many therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). The destruction of IgG-coated targets by cell-mediated pathways begins with an interaction between the IgG Fc region and multiple varieties of membrane-bound Fc γ receptors (FcγRs) on the surface of leukocytes. This interaction requires the presence of an asparagine-linked (N-)glycan on the Fc, and variations in the N-glycan composition can affect the affinity of CD16A binding (an FcγR). Contemporary efforts to glycoengineer mAbs focus on increasing CD16A affinity, and thus treatment efficacy, but it is unclear how these changes affect affinity for the other FcγRs. Here, we measure binding of the extracellular Fc-binding domains for human CD16A and B, CD32A, B and C, and CD64 to 6 well-defined IgG1 Fc glycoforms that cover ~85% of the pool of human IgG1 Fc glycoforms. Core α1–6 fucosylation showed the greatest changes with CD16B (8.5-fold decrease), CD16A (3.9-fold decrease) and CD32B/C (1.8-fold decrease), but did not affect binding to CD32A. Adding galactose to the non-reducing termini of the complex-type, biantennary glycan increased affinity for all CD16s and 32s tested by 1.7-fold. Sialylation did not change the affinity of core-fucosylated Fc, but increased the affinity of afucosylated Fc slightly by an average of 1.16-fold for all CD16s and CD32s tested. The effects of fucose and galactose modification are additive, suggesting the contributions of these residues to Fc γ receptor affinity are independent. 相似文献

A lysine tRNA (tRNA1Lys) was purified from Bacillus subtilis W168 by a consecutive use of several column chromatographic systems. The nucleotide sequence was determined to be pG-A-G-C-C-A-U-U-A-G-C-U-C-A-G-U-D-G-G-D-A-G-A-G-C-A-U-C-U-G-A-C-U-U(U*)-U-U-K-A-psi-C-A-G-A-G-G-m7G(G)-U-C-G-A-A-G-G-T-psi-C-G-A-G-U-C-C-U-U-C-A-U-G-G-C-U-C-A-C-C-AOH, where K and U* are unidentified nucleosides. The nucleosides of U34 and m7G46 were partially substituted with U* and G, respectively. The binding ability of lysyl-tRNA1Lys to Escherichia coli ribosomes was stimulated with ApApA as well as ApApG. 相似文献

Antibodies specific for intact 7-methylguanosine (m7G) were induced in rabbits and mice by immunization with nucleoside-BSA or nucleoside-hemocyanin conjugates. Since m7G undergoes alkali-catalyzed hydrolytic fission of the purine ring, modifications were made in the procedure for conjugation of m7G to proteins. After periodate oxidation, m7G was incubated with protein at pH 9.1 at 4 degrees C for one hour during which the nucleoside was found to be stable. Reduction of the Schiff base was done with t-butylamine borane for 30 minutes, and the conjugated protein was isolated quickly by gel filtration at pH 7.2. Both rabbits and mice produced antibodies that readily distinguished between the intact and hydrolyzed m7G. Antibody specificity depended largely on the presence of an intact 7-substituted imidazole ring and some cross-reaction occurred with 7-methylinosine. A weaker reaction occurred with ribothymidine and thymidine. Mouse antibodies induced by m7G-hemocyanin showed the highest specificity. They also recognized m7G in the isolated mRNA cap structure m7G(5')ppp(5')A. 相似文献

Two peaks of phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) activity were resolved when guinea pig uterus cytosolic proteins were chromatographed on a DEAE-Sepharose column. The first peak of enzyme activity eluting from the DEAE-Sepharose column (PI-PLC I) was further purified to homogeneity, whereas the second peak of enzyme activity was enriched 300-fold. PI-PLC I migrated as a 62-kDa protein on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels. Antibodies prepared against PI-PLC I failed to react with PI-PLC II. PI-PLC I hydrolyzed all three phosphoinositides, exhibiting a greater Vmax for phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate greater than phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate greater than phosphatidylinositol. Hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol was calcium-dependent, whereas significant hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate occurred in the presence of 2.5 mM EGTA. At physiological concentrations of calcium, phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate were the preferred substrates. Antibodies specific for PI-PLC I reacted with a 62-kDa protein in both the cytosol and membrane fractions from guinea pig uterus. Quantitation of the immunoblots revealed that 25% of the 62-kDa protein was membrane-associated, whereas only 5% of the total enzyme activity was membrane-associated. Approximately 20% of the membrane-bound phospholipase C activity and immunoreactive material were loosely bound, whereas the remainder required detergent extraction for complete solubilization. The 62-kDa protein associated with the membrane fractions did not bind lectin affinity columns, suggesting that it was not glycosylated. PI-PLC I was identified as a phosphoprotein in [32P]orthophosphate-labeled rat basophilic leukemia (RBL-1) cells by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis followed by immunoblotting. In untreated cells, 32P-labeled PI-PLC I was found in the cytosolic fraction. Treatment of RBL-1 cells with those phorbol esters which are known to activate the Ca2+/phospholipid-dependent enzyme protein kinase C, resulted in a time-dependent increase in the phosphorylation of both membrane-bound and cytosolic PI-PLC I. Thus, in RBL-1 cells, protein kinase C may play an important role in the regulation of phospholipase C through protein phosphorylation. 相似文献

The adenovirus type 2-coded single-stranded DNA binding protein (DBP) was shown to be a phosphoprotein and to exist in at least two forms that differ in mobility by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. After a 30-min pulse with [35S]methionine or 32PO4, 35S- or 32P-labeled DBP had a nominal molecular weight of 74,000 whereas after a 30-min label followed by a 20-h chase, 35S- and 32P-labeled DBP had a nominal molecular weight of 77,000. Both large and small forms of 35S- and 32P-labeled DBP bound to single-stranded DNA-cellulose columns and were eluted by 0.4 to 0.6 M NaCl; both forms also were immunoprecipitated by antiserum against adenovirus type 1-simian virus 40-induced tumor cells (this antiserum contains antibodies against DBP) and by monospecific antiserum against 95 to 99% purified DBP. With highly purified 32P-DBP labeled 7 to 10 h postinfection, it was shown that the 32P radioactivity was firmly associated with protein material (i.e., not contaminating nucleic acids or phospholipids) and had properties expected of a phosphoester of an amino acid; paper electrophoresis of acid hydrolysates of this preparation identified phosphoserine but not phosphothreonine. Phosphoserine but not phosphothreonine was also identified in acid hydrolysates of another preparation of 32P-DBP labeled for 30 min, chased for 20 h, and then immunoprecipitated by adenovirus type 1-simian virus 40 antiserum. 相似文献

The impact of 2'-deoxy-2'-fluoroarabinonucleotide residues (2'F-araN) on different G-quadruplexes derived from a thrombin-binding DNA aptamer d(G2T2G2TGTG2T2G2), an anti-HIV phosphorothioate aptamer PS-d(T2G4T2) and a DNA telomeric sequence d(G4T4G4) via UV thermal melting (T(m)) and circular dichroism (CD) experiments has been investigated. Generally, replacement of deoxyguanosines that adopt the anti conformation (anti-guanines) with 2'F-araG can stabilize G-quartets and maintain the quadruplex conformation, while replacement of syn-guanines with 2'F-araG is not favored and results in a dramatic switch to an alternative quadruplex conformation. It was found that incorporation of 2'F-araG or T residues into a thrombin-binding DNA G-quadruplex stabilizes the complex (DeltaT(m) up to approximately +3 degrees C/2'F-araN modification); 2'F-araN units also increased the half-life in 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) up to 48-fold. Two modified thrombin-binding aptamers (PG13 and PG14) show an approximately 4-fold increase in binding affinity to thrombin, as assessed via a nitrocellulose filter binding assay, both with increased thermal stability (approximately 1 degrees C/2'F-ANA modification increase in T(m)) and nuclease resistance (4-7-fold) as well. Therefore, the 2'-deoxy-2'-fluoro-d-arabinonucleic acid (2'F-ANA) modification is well suited to tune (and improve) the physicochemical and biological properties of naturally occurring DNA G-quartets. 相似文献

The Saccharomyces cerevisiae pheromone, alpha-factor (WHWLQLKPGQPMY), and Ste2p, its G protein-coupled receptor, were studied as a model for peptide ligand-receptor interaction. The affinities and activities of various synthetic position-10 alpha-factor analogs with Ste2p expressing mutations at residues Ser47 and Thr48 were investigated. All mutant receptors were expressed at a similar level in the cytoplasmic membrane, and their efficacies of signal transduction were similar to that of the wild-type receptor. Mutant receptors differed in binding affinity (Kd) and potency (EC50) for gene induction by alpha-factor. One mutant receptor (S47K,T48K) had dramatically reduced affinity and activity for [Lys10]- and [Orn10]alpha-factor, whereas the affinity for Saccharomyces kluyveri alpha-factor (WHWLSFSKGEPMY) was increased over 20-fold compared with that of wild-type receptor. In contrast, the affinity of [Lys10]- and [Orn10]alpha-factor was increased greatly in a S47E,T48E mutant receptor, whereas the binding of the S. kluyveri alpha-factor was abolished. The affinity of [Lys10]- and [Orn10]alpha-factor for the S47E,T48E receptor dropped 4-6-fold in the presence of 1 m NaCl, whereas the affinity of alpha-factor was not affected by this treatment. These results demonstrate that when bound to its receptor the 10th residue (Gln) of the S. cerevisiae alpha-factor is adjacent to Ser47 and Thr48 residues in the receptor and that the 10th residue of alpha-factors from two Saccharomyces species is responsible for the ligand selectivity to their cognate receptors. Based on these data, we have developed a two-dimensional model of alpha-factor binding to its receptor. 相似文献
