Using synthetic oligodeoxynucleotides with 3'-OH ends and 32P-labelled 5'-phosphate ends and the technique of polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, it is shown that, in the presence of the complementary polynucleotide, an AP (apurinic or apyrimidinic) site at the 3' or the 5' end of the labelled oligodeoxynucleotides does not prevent their ligation by T4 DNA ligase, although the reaction rate is decreased. This decrease is more severe when the AP site is at the 3' end; the activated intermediates accumulate showing that it is the efficiency of the adenyl-5'-phosphate attack by the 3'-OH of the base-free deoxyribose which is mostly perturbed. Using the same technique, it is shown that a mispaired base at the 3' or 5' end of oligodeoxynucleotides does not prevent their ligation. A one-nucleotide gap, limited by 3'-OH and 5'-phosphate, can also be closed by T4 DNA ligase although with difficulty; here again the activation of the 5'-phosphate end does not seem to be slowed down, but rather the 3'-OH attack of the adenyl-5'-phosphate. All these anomalous ligations take place with the nick or the gap in front of a continuous complementary strand. Blunt ends ligation of correct duplexes occurs readily; however an AP site or a mispaired base at the 3' or 5' end of one strand of the duplexes prevents ligation between these strands. But a missing nucleotide (responsible for one unpaired nucleotide protruding at the 3' or 5' end of the complementary strand) does not stop ligation of the shorter oligodeoxynucleotides between independent duplexes. 相似文献

We describe a new protocol, which does not require (4S)UpG, for introducing (4S)U into specific sites in a pre-mRNA substrate. A 5'-half and a full-length RNA are first synthesized by phage RNA polymerase. p(4S)Up, which is derived from (4S)UpU and can therefore be 32P-labeled, is then ligated to the 3' end of the 5'-half RNA with T4 RNA ligase. The 3' phosphate of the ligated product is removed subsequently by CIP (calf intestinal alkaline phosphatase) to produce a 3'-OH group. The 3'-half RNA with a 5' phosphate is produced by site-specific RNase H cleavage of the full-length pre-mRNA directed by a 2'-O-methyl RNA-DNA chimera. The two half RNAs are then aligned with a bridging oligonucleotide and ligated with T4 DNA ligase. Our results show that 32P-p(4S)Up ligation to the 3' end of the 5'-half RNA is comparable to 32P-pCp ligation. Also, the efficiency of the bridging oligonucleotide-mediated two-piece ligation is quite high, approximately 30-50%. This strategy has been applied to the P120 pre-mRNA containing an AT-AC intron, but should be applicable to many other RNAs. 相似文献

The 3' ends of 5-S rRNA isolated from Escherichia coli cells were analyzed and identified after different durations of labeling with 32Pi, with and without blocking of protein synthesis. These experiments suggest that the 5-S rRNA starts as a species containing 126 nucleotides, three at each end, and that the extra nucleotides are removed from the 5' and 3' ends in parallel at comparable but different rates. Inhibition of protein synthesis with chloramphenicol blocks, in addition to the 5'-end maturation, the trimming of the extra nucleotides from the 3' end. The trimming of extra nucleotides from both ends of the 5-S rRNA is also affected by the structure of the molecular stalk of 5-S rRNA. A number of observations suggest that the trimmings from both ends are independent processes, which are carried out probably by different enzymes. 相似文献

Nucleotide pyrophosphate transferase isolated from Streptomyces griseus is used to transfer pyrophosphate group from gamma-32P-ATP to the 3'-OH of tRNA, generating a strictly terminal label at its 3' end. Using yeast tRNAPhe as model compound, it is demonstrated that the labelled molecule is suitable for rapid gel sequencing by both enzymatic and chemical methods. RNA molecules terminated by pyrimidine nucleoside are poor pyrophosphate acceptors. To label RNAs of this kind, first guanosine 5'-phosphate 3'-(beta-32P)-pyrophosphate (pGpp) is prepared from gamma-32P-ATP and GMP by nucleotide pyrophosphate transferase. pGpp is then ligated to the 3' end of RNA by T4 RNA ligase. The complete nucleotide sequence of 5S RNA from Streptomyces griseus is established by rapid gel sequencing methods performed on 3'-(beta-32P)-pyrophosphate labelled molecule. 相似文献

Rat liver chromatin contains a 3'-phosphatase/5'-OH kinase which may be involved in the repair of DNA strand breaks limited by 3'-phosphate/5'-OH ends. In order to determine whether the phosphate group can be transferred directly from the 3' to the 5' position, a polynucleotide duplex was synthesized between poly (dA) and oligo (dT) segments which had 3'-[32P]phosphate and 5'-OH ends. The oligo (dT) segments were separated by simple nicks as shown by the ability of T4 DNA ligase to seal the nick after the 3'-phosphate was removed by a phosphatase and the 5' end was phosphorylated with a kinase. The chromatin 3'-phosphatase/5'-OH kinase was unable to transfer phosphate directly from the 3' to the 5' end of the oligo (dT) segments in the original duplex; ATP was needed to phosphorylate the 5'-OH end. It is concluded that the chromatin 3'-phosphatase/5'-OH kinase is unable to convert a 3'-phosphate/5'-OH nick which cannot be repaired by DNA ligase directly into a 3'-OH/5'-phosphate nick which can be repaired by DNA ligase; the chromatin enzyme rather acts in two steps: hydrolysis of the 3'-phosphate followed by ATP-mediated phosphorylation of the 5'-OH end. 相似文献

The double-stranded form of adeno-associated virus (AAV) DNA has about 20 sites sensitive to endonuclease R.Hae III from Haemophilus aegypitus; the fragments produced fall into about 13 size classes, 8 of which contain single fragments. The location of the Hae III-produced AAV fragments relative to the three EcoR1 fragments was determined. Using revised figures for the molecular weights of the Hae III cleavage products of phiX174 replicative form DNA, we calculated that AAV DNA contains about 4,000 nucleotides. After Hae III digestiion of duplex DNA terminally labeled with 32P using polynucleotide kinase, the majority of fragments containing a 5' 32P label were about 40 nucleotides in length, and fragments of similar size were generated from each end, suggesting that the Hae site closest to the end is within the terminal repetition. Two more-slowly-migrating cleavage products also bore 5' 32P end label. These three terminally labeled species were also generated from single-stranded AAV DNA by digestion with Hae III, and evidence that one may have a nonlinear ("rabbit-ear") structure is presented. The predominant 5' terminal base was identified as thymine for both the plus and minus strands of AAV. Single-stranded AAV molecules could not be efficiently covalently circularized by incubation with polynucleotide ligase or ligase plus T4 DNA polymerase. 相似文献

The oligonucleotide [5'-32P]pdT8d(-)dTn, containing an apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) site [d(-)], yields three radioactive products when incubated at alkaline pH: two of them, forming a doublet approximately at the level of pdT8dA when analysed by polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis, are the result of the beta-elimination reaction, whereas the third is pdT8p resulting from beta delta-elimination. The incubation of [5'-32P]pdT8d(-)dTn, hybridized with poly(dA), with E. coli endonuclease III yields two radioactive products which have the same electrophoretic behaviour as the doublet obtained by alkaline beta-elimination. The oligonucleotide pdT8d(-) is degraded by the 3'-5' exonuclease activity of T4 DNA polymerase as well as pdT8dA, showing that a base-free deoxyribose at the 3' end is not an obstacle for this activity. The radioactive products from [5'-32P]pdT8d(-)dTn cleaved by alkaline beta-elimination or by E. coli endonuclease III are not degraded by the 3'-5' exonuclease activity of T4 DNA polymerase. When DNA containing AP sites labelled with 32P 5' to the base-free deoxyribose labelled with 3H in the 1' and 2' positions is degraded by E. coli endonuclease VI (exonuclease III) and snake venom phosphodiesterase, the two radionuclides are found exclusively in deoxyribose 5-phosphate and the 3H/32P ratio in this sugar phosphate is the same as in the substrate DNA. When DNA containing these doubly-labelled AP sites is degraded by alkaline treatment or with Lys-Trp-Lys, followed by E. coli endonuclease VI (exonuclease III), some 3H is found in a volatile compound (probably 3H2O) whereas the 3H/32P ratio is decreased in the resulting sugar phosphate which has a chromatographic behaviour different from that of deoxyribose 5-phosphate. Treatment of the DNA containing doubly-labelled AP sites with E. coli endonuclease III, then with E. coli endonuclease VI (exonuclease III), also results in the loss of 3H and the formation of a sugar phosphate with a lower 3H/32P ratio that behaves chromatographically as the beta-elimination product digested with E. coli endonuclease VI (exonuclease III). From these data, we conclude that E. coli endonuclease III cleaves the phosphodiester bond 3' to the AP site, but that the cleavage is not a hydrolysis leaving a base-free deoxyribose at the 3' end as it has been so far assumed. The cleavage might be the result of a beta-elimination analogous to the one produced by an alkaline pH or Lys-Trp-Lys. Thus it would seem that E. coli 'endonuclease III' is, after all, not an endonuclease. 相似文献

Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase was used to add labeled dAMP residues to the 3' end of oligonucleotide probes that hybridize to the 5' end of the neomycin phosphotransferase II gene. Southern hybridization conditions were described in which the sensitivity per unit of exposure time was about 30-fold greater for the tailed probe as compared to the 5'-end-labeled probe. The tailed oligonucleotide probe had the sensitivity per unit of exposure time comparable to that of a nick-translated probe of high specific activity: in 3 h of autoradiographic exposure both easily detected an amount of target equivalent to a single-copy gene in 10 micrograms of human DNA. The thermal dissociation profiles of 5'-end-labeled and tailed oligonucleotide probes were virtually identical and the tailed oligonucleotide probe was as allele specific as the 5'-end-labeled oligonucleotide probe. The useful lifetime of a 32P-tailed probe was about 1-2 weeks. Finally, by adding 50 35S-labeled nucleotides to the 3' end, we prepared a stable oligonucleotide probe with a sensitivity per unit of exposure time comparable to that of the unstable 5'-32P-labeled oligonucleotide probe. 相似文献

The 3' terminus of the strand (minus strand) complementary to poliovirion RNA (plus strand) has been examined to see whether this sequence extends to the 5'-nucleotide terminus of the plus strand, or whether minus-strand synthesis terminates prematurely, perhaps due to the presence of a nonreplicated nucleotide primer for initiation of plus-strand synthesis. The 3' terminus was labeled with 32P using [5'-32P]pCp and RNA ligase, and complete RNase digests were performed with RNases A, T1, and U2. 32P-oligonucleotides were analyzed for size by polyacrylamide-urea gel electrophoresis. The major oligonucleotide products formed were consistent with the minus strand containing 3' ends complementary and flush with the 5' end of the plus strand. However, a variable proportion of the isolated minus strands from different preparations were heterogeneous in length and appeared to differ from each other by the presence of one, two, or three 3'-terminal A residues. 相似文献

The gene A protein cleaves phi X174 single-stranded DNA (ssDNA). The cleavage appears to be stoichiometric, whereby a gene A protein molecule breaks a phosphodiester bond and binds to the 5' end. The enzyme introduces mostly a single break in a circular ssDNA molecule. However, at high enzyme-to-DNA ratios, more than one break in the DNA could be observed. The cleavage of the ssDNA by gene A protein renders the DNA sensitive to the action of terminal transferase to incorporate [alpha -32P]ATP. Thus, the 3'OH end is free. All attempts to label the 5' end by T4-induced polynucleotide kinase and [gamma-32P]ATP failed. The formation of a gene A-ssDNA complex was demonstrated directly by using 3H-labeled gene A protein and 32P-labeled ssDNA in the reaction. Such a complex is resistant to treatments with 0.2 M NaOH, banding in CsCl, and boiling in 2.5% sodium dodecyl sulfate. Only treatment with a nuclease released the bound protein. Also, after cleaving [32P]ssDNA by gene A protein, followed by either DNase I or micrococcal nuclease digestion, a fraction of the 32P label remained resistant to nuclease treatment and comigrated with gene A protein on polyacrylamide gels. 相似文献

Sequence of 1000 nucleotides at the 3'' end of tobacco mosaic virus RNA. 总被引:32,自引:16,他引:16

The sequence of 1000 nucleotides at the 3' end of tobacco mosaic virus RNA has been determined. The sequence contains the entire coat protein cistron as well as regions to its left and right. Sequence characterization was by conventional methods for use with uniformly 32P labeled RNA complemented by newer methods for in vitro 5' and 3' 32P end-labeling of RNA and its subsequent rapid analysis. The noncoding region separating the coat protein cistron from the 3' terminus is 204 residues long and may be folded into a clover-leaf-type secondary structure. The distribution of termination codons to the left of the coat protein cistron suggests that the end of the adjacent cistron is separated from the beginning of the coat protein cistron by only two nucleotides. The subgenomic viral coat protein mRNA was isolated from infected tissue and shown to be capped. The nontranslated sequence separating the cap from the AUG initiation codon is 9 residues long and thus overlaps a portion of the adjacent cistron on the genome RNA. 相似文献

Nucleotide sequence of rat liver iodothyronine 5'-monodeiodinase (5' MD): its identity with the protein disulfide isomerase 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

We report here the isolation and sequence of a near full length cDNA clone for the 5'MD. Screening of gt11 cDNA library with a 32P-labeled partial 5'MD clone (#23) yielded two further clones (#2301 and 2302). Clone 2301 was contained entirely within clone 23 while clone 2302 contained 0.5 kb upstream of 5' end and 1.0 kb downstream 3' end of clone 23. Clone 2302 has an open reading frame of 1,447 nucleotides followed by a stop codon and 584 nucleotides of the untranslated 3' end region. The predicted amino acid sequence showed a 99% and a 95% identity with protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) and the membrane associated thyroid hormone binding protein (MTHBP), respectively. Monoclonal antibodies against human placental PDI (HP13) neutralized the 5'MD and showed only one band in western blot analysis of rat liver solubilized microsomal proteins. The results suggest that clone 2302, MTHBP and PDI may be the same protein and that it represents 5' MD. 相似文献

The sequence of about 70 nucleotides at the 5' end of the RNAs of nine different aphthoviruses (foot-and-mouth disease viruses), including representatives of the seven serotypes of the virus, has been determined by partial enzyme digestion of (32)P-end-labeled S fragment-that part of the RNA lying to the 5' side of the poly(C) tract and including the 5' end of the molecule. The S fragments were prepared from polyadenylated virus-specific RNA extracted from infected cells by digestion with RNase H in the presence of oligo(dG)(12-18). The first 27 nucleotides from the 5' end were highly conserved in all the RNAs. This region was followed by a more variable region of about 15 nucleotides, showing some length and sequence heterogeneity and including potential but probably nonutilized initiation codons. In agreement with previous homology studies, the sequencing results showed that the European serotypes A, O, and C form a group distinct from the SAT serotypes and that the Asia 1 serotype is closely related to the European group. The lengths of the S fragments of two different RNAs were confirmed as containing 360 to 400 nucleotides by gel electrophoresis with reference to nucleotide markers of known size. 相似文献

A fragment representing the 3'-terminal 'tRNA-like' region of turnip yellow mosaic (TYM) virus RNA has been purified following incubation of intact TYM virus RNA with Escherichia coli 'RNase P'. This fragment, which is 112+3-nucleotides long has been completely digested with T1 RNase and pancreatic RNase and all the oligonucleotides present in such digests have been sequenced using 32P-end labelling techniques in vitro. The TYM virus RNA fragment is free of modified nucleosides and does not contain a G-U-U-C-R sequence. Using nuclease P1 from Penicillium citrinum, the sequence of 26 nucleotides from the 5' end and 16 nucleotides from the 3' end of this fragment has been deduced. The nucleotide sequence at the 5' end of the TYM virus RNA fragment indicates that this fragment includes the end of the TYM virus coat protein gene. 相似文献
