MC3 is a colorectal cancer (CRC)-specific mAb previously prepared in our laboratory that can detect CRC with high sensitivity and specificity. However, the target antigen for MC3 had not been identified due to technological limitations. In the present study, immunocytochemistry and immunohistochemistry revealed the expression patterns of MC3 antigen (MC3-Ag) in colon cancer cell lines and CRC tissues. Western blotting analysis showed that the MC3 antibody reproducibly recognized two approximately 30 kDa proteins in the total cell lysates of human colon carcinoma cell lines SW480 and HT-29. Using a proteomic approach, we identified two MC3 immunoreactive spots as two isoforms of thioredoxin-like 2 (Txl-2) protein. Further paired immunostaining showed that Txl-2 had the same expression profile as probed by the MC3 antibody. Western blotting also showed that both antibodies could detect the same two bands, further verifying that Txl-2 is the antigen of MC3 antibody. Additionally, tissue arrays revealed the expression patterns of Txl-2 in various normal and cancer tissues. Further analysis showed that Txl-2 mRNA was elevated in 18 cases of CRC tissues compared to paracancerous tissues and adjacent normal tissues. 相似文献

Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein (hnRNP) A1 is a nucleocytoplasmic shuttling protein that regulates gene expression through its action on mRNA metabolism and translation. The cytoplasmic redistribution of hnRNP A1 is a regulated process during viral infection and cellular stress. Here, we show that hnRNP A1 is an internal ribosome entry site (IRES) trans-acting factor that binds specifically to the 5' untranslated region of both the human rhinovirus-2 and the human apoptotic peptidase activating factor 1 (apaf-1) mRNAs, thereby regulating their translation. Furthermore, the cytoplasmic redistribution of hnRNP A1 after rhinovirus infection leads to enhanced rhinovirus IRES-mediated translation, whereas the cytoplasmic relocalization of hnRNP A1 after UVC irradiation limits the UVC-triggered translational activation of the apaf-1 IRES. Therefore, this study provides a direct demonstration that IRESs behave as translational enhancer elements regulated by specific trans-acting mRNA binding proteins in given physiological conditions. Our data highlight a new way to regulate protein synthesis in eukaryotes through the subcellular relocalization of a nuclear mRNA-binding protein. 相似文献

A monoclonal antibody specific for the A antigen of Brucella spp 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Two murine monoclonal antibodies of the IgG3 class have been isolated after immunization with Brucella abortus. An indirect immunofluorescence test was used to screen hybridoma supernatants and subsequently to determine the cross-reactivity of the monoclonal antibodies with other bacteria. One monoclonal antibody reacted with all the smooth Brucella biotypes tried and with Yersinia enterocolitica serogroup 0:9, though not with rough Br. ovis or with strains of Escherichia, Proteus, Salmonella, Pseudomonas, Francisella and Bordetella. The other monoclonal antibody displayed a high degree of specificity for brucellae carrying the A lipopolysaccharide-protein surface antigen. The implications for the diagnosis of brucellosis are discussed. 相似文献

A monoclonal antibody (49H.24) is described that was made after immunization of BALB/c mice with human neuraminidase-treated erythrocytes (NE-RBC). 49H.24 is an IgM and reacts with NE-RBC but not untreated, normal human RBC. As little as 100 pg of antibody protein produced detectable direct agglutination of, or binding to, NE-RBC. The fine specificity of 49H.24 was determined by using a series of synthetic sugar haptens as inhibitors of agglutination or binding of 49H.24 to NE-RBC. Only synthetic T hapten (beta Gal(1 leads to 3)alpha GalNAc) produced complete inhibition of agglutination or binding, and no inhibition was produced by several other closely related haptens. Synthetic T hapten-coated silica beads (Synsorb) were used to affinity purify 49H.24. Affinity-purified antibody was radiolabeled with 125I and used in a sensitive competition assay to detect natural T antigen associated with cell membranes or in soluble form. The potential use of this or similar monoclonal antibodies as probes for an important human tumor marker is discussed. 相似文献

This paper describes a monoclonal antibody that recognizes a molecule whose expression is mostly restricted to some of the forebrain areas that control singing behavior in adult estrildine species studied, including the zebra, Bengalese, and spice finches. When the song system displays extreme sexual dimorphism, as in these species, antibody staining occurs only in the male's song nuclei. However, protein expression is identical in both sexes of estrildine finches, in which females also have a well-developed song system. Canaries appear to lack the protein, but it can be induced in female zebra finches by early estrogen treatment. Antibody staining patterns in the zebra finch show that the protein's expression is developmentally regulated to coincide with the abrupt increase in the volume and cell size of the male's or the estrogen-treated female's song system. 相似文献

A monoclonal antibody specific for snRNPs U1 and U2 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
A monoclonal antibody (D-5) is described which selectively precipitates snRNPs U1 and U2. The antibody was derived from a mouse immunized with extracts from chick embryonic nuclei. By immunoblotting on either total proteins from purified snRNPs U1-U6, U2-U6 or U1 only, we could demonstrate that the monoclonal antibody cross-reacts with the U1 RNP specific polypeptide A and the U2 RNP specific polypeptide B", thereby establishing that the two snRNP proteins share at least one epitope. D-5 precipitates snRNPs U1 and U2 from a variety of species, including man, chicken, mouse, rat kangaroo and Xenopus laevis. It will thus be a useful tool for studying structure function relationships of the two snRNP species in different cell systems. 相似文献

mRNA turnover is an important regulatory component of gene expression and is significantly influenced by ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complexes which form on the mRNA. Studies of human alpha-globin mRNA stability have identified a specific RNP complex (alpha-complex) which forms on the 3' untranslated region (3'UTR) of the mRNA and appears to regulate the erythrocyte-specific accumulation of alpha-globin mRNA. One of the protein activities in this multiprotein complex is a poly(C)-binding activity which consists of two proteins, alphaCP1 and alphaCP2. Neither of these proteins, individually or as a pair, can bind the alpha-globin 3'UTR unless they are complexed with the remaining non-poly(C) binding proteins of the alpha-complex. With the yeast two-hybrid screen, a second alpha-complex protein was identified. This protein is a member of the previously identified A+U-rich (ARE) binding/degradation factor (AUF1) family of proteins, which are also known as the heterogeneous nuclear RNP (hnRNP) D proteins. We refer to these proteins as AUF1/hnRNP-D. Thus, a protein implicated in ARE-mediated mRNA decay is also an integral component of the mRNA stabilizing alpha-complex. The interaction of AUF1/hnRNP-D is more efficient with alphaCP1 relative to alphaCP2 both in vitro and in vivo, suggesting that the alpha-complex might be dynamic rather than a fixed complex. AUF1/hnRNP-D could, therefore, be a general mRNA turnover factor involved in both stabilization and decay of mRNA. 相似文献

Mutational analysis of a heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein A2 response element for RNA trafficking 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Cytoplasmic transport and localization of mRNA has been reported for a range of oocytes and somatic cells. The heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein (hnRNP) A2 response element (A2RE) is a 21-nucleotide segment of the myelin basic protein mRNA that is necessary and sufficient for cytoplasmic transport of this message in oligodendrocytes. The predominant A2RE-binding protein in rat brain has previously been identified as hnRNP A2. Here we report that an 11-nucleotide subsegment of the A2RE (A2RE11) was as effective as the full-length A2RE in binding hnRNP A2 and mediating transport of heterologous RNA in oligodendrocytes. Point mutations of the A2RE11 that eliminated binding to hnRNP A2 also markedly reduced the ability of these oligoribonucleotides to support RNA transport. Oligodendrocytes treated with antisense oligonucleotides directed against the translation start site of hnRNP A2 had reduced levels of this protein and disrupted transport of microinjected myelin basic protein RNA. Several A2RE-like sequences from localized neuronal RNAs also bound hnRNP A2 and promoted RNA transport in oligodendrocytes. These data demonstrate the specificity of A2RE recognition by hnRNP A2, provide direct evidence for the involvement of hnRNP A2 in cytoplasmic RNA transport, and suggest that this protein may interact with a wide variety of localized messages that possess A2RE-like sequences. 相似文献

A 50-kilodalton receptor protein (Rp-a) for the group B coxsackieviruses (CB) was isolated in a virus-receptor complex from detergent-solubilized HeLa cells (J. E. Mapoles, D. L. Krah, and R. L. Crowell, J. Virol. 55:560-566, 1985). It was used as an immunogen for preparation of a mouse monoclonal antibody (RmcB) which protected HeLa cells and Buffalo green monkey kidney cells from infection by all six serotypes of CB. RmcB did not protect HeLa cells from infection by poliovirus, echovirus 6, or coxsackievirus A18. This monoclonal antibody differed in receptor epitope specificity from a previously isolated antibody (RmcA) (R. L. Crowell, A. K. Field, W. A. Schleif, W. L. Long, R. J. Colonno, J. E. Mapoles, and E. A. Emini, J. Virol. 57:438-445, 1986) which blocked receptors only for type 1 CB (CB1), CB3, CB5, and echovirus 6. RmcA and RmcB recognized two distinct saturable receptors on HeLa cells, designated HR2 and HR1, respectively. Human rhabdomyosarcoma (RD) cells have the HR2 receptor for CB3-RD (a variant of CB3), but lack the HR1 receptor for CB3. Therefore, RD cells were resistant to infection by CB3. Although binding of CB3-RD to the HR2 receptor on RD cells can lead to infection, binding of CB3-RD to the HR2 receptor on HeLa cells did not lead to infection. Apparently, both CB3 and CB3-RD use only the HR1 receptor for infection of HeLa cells. Thus, a given virus may use two distinct receptors to bind to cells when only one virus-receptor interaction leads to infection. 相似文献

The chemokine receptor CXCR4-mediated signaling cascades play an important role in cell proliferation and migration, but the underlying mechanisms by which the receptor signaling is regulated remain incompletely understood. Here, we demonstrate that CXCR4 was co-immunoprecipitated with cyclophilin A (CyPA) from the lysate of HEK293 cells stably expressing CXCR4. Although both the glutathione S-transferase-CXCR4 N- and C-terminal fusion proteins were associated with the purified CyPA, truncation of the C-terminal domain of CXCR4 robustly inhibited the receptor co-immunoprecipitation with CyPA in intact cells, thereby suggesting a critical role of the receptor C terminus in this interaction. Ligand stimulation of CXCR4 induced CyPA phosphorylation and nuclear translocation, both of which were inhibited by truncation of the C-terminal domain of CXCR4. CyPA was associated with transportin 1, and knockdown of transportin 1 by RNA interference (RNAi) blocked CXCL12-induced nuclear translocation of CyPA, thereby suggesting a transportin 1-mediated nuclear import of CyPA. CyPA formed a complex with heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein (hnRNP) A2, which underwent nuclear export in response to activation of CXCR4. Interestingly, the CXCR4-mediated nuclear export of hnRNP A2 was blocked by RNAi of CyPA. Moreover, CXCR4-evoked activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) was attenuated by CyPA RNAi, by overexpression of a PPIase-deficient mutant of CyPA (CyPA-R55A), and by pretreatment of the immunosuppressive drugs, cyclosporine A and sanglifehrin A. Finally, CXCL12-induced chemotaxis of HEK293 cells stably expressing CXCR4 or Jurkat T cells was inhibited by CyPA RNAi or CsA treatment. 相似文献

A murine monoclonal antibody recognizes the 13,000 molecular weight polypeptide of the Sm small nuclear ribonucleoprotein complex 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12
Antibodies to the Sm antigen are closely associated with the rheumatic disease systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The Sm antigen exists in the cell as part of a ribonucleoprotein complex containing at least 10 polypeptides and five small nuclear RNA. The major immunoreactive Sm species are three polypeptides of m.w. 27,000, 26,000, and 13,000. By using an MRL/1 mouse, a strain which spontaneously produces a disease with many of the characteristics of human SLE, we have produced an anti-Sm hybridoma specific for the 13,000 m.w. Sm polypeptide. This monoclonal antibody is sufficient to allow for the rapid bulk isolation of the entire class of Sm snRNP, and can be used sequentially with an anti-(U1)RNP monoclonal antibody to subfractionate the Sm snRNP particles. 相似文献

Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is highly expressed by most tumours of gastrointestinal origin, but its use as a target for
tumour therapy is complicated by the high levels of soluble CEA that are found circulating in the blood of cancer patients.
A monoclonal antibody PR1A3 has been prepared, which binds preferentially to cell-surface rather than soluble CEA, this cell
selectivity should make PR1A3 an ideal candidate for antibody-targeted tumour therapy. PR1A3 has been humanised and shown
to retain its cell-surface specificity and affinity. Stable expression of the humanised antibody from chinese hamster ovary
(CHO) cells has been achieved after transfection and amplification. Since PR1A3 binds preferentially to cell-associated CEA,
a cell-free enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) has been developed to allow characterisation and routine assay of the
antibody. This assay was developed using a recombinant chimeric protein constructed by cloning the domain of CEA that is bound
by PR1A3 (the B3 domain) into a hybrid gene containing the Fc portion of IgG and three domains of biliary glycoprotein. Stable
expression of this hybrid protein has been achieved from CHO cells. In ELISA both humanised and murine PR1A3 bound strongly
to this antigen but only at a minimal level to soluble CEA. Two binding sites for the antibody were found on the gastric carcinoma
cell line MKN45, one of higher affinity (1 nM) and the other at lower affinity (60 nM). Similar affinities were found for
both murine and humanised antibodies. The data presented make it unlikely that the differential binding to cell-surface as
distinct from soluble CEA can be accounted for by low affinity of PR1A3 for CEA, and provides further support for the hypothesis
that some conformational change takes place on CEA release from cells and that it is this change that blocks PR1A3 binding
to its epitope.

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a recently recognized second messenger, which regulates mammalian cell proliferation and migration. The biochemical mechanisms by which mammalian cells sense and respond to low concentrations of H2O2 are poorly understood. Recently, heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein C1/C2 (hnRNP-C1/C2) was found to be rapidly phosphorylated in response to the application of low concentrations of H2O2 to human endothelial cells. Here, using tandem mass spectrometry, four sites of phosphorylation are identified in hnRNP-C1/C2, all of which are in the acidic C-terminal domain of the protein. Under resting conditions, the protein is phosphorylated at S247 and S286. In response to low concentrations of H2O2, there is increased phosphorylation at S240 and at one of the four contiguous serine residues from S225-S228. Studies using a recombinant acidic C-terminal domain of hnRNP-C overexpressed in Escherichia coli demonstrate that protein kinase CK2 phosphorylates hnRNP-C1/C2 at S247, while protein kinase A and several protein kinase C isoforms fail to phosphorylate the isolated domain. These findings demonstrate that the acidic C-terminal domain of hnRNP-C1/C2 serves as the site for both basal and stimulated phosphorylation, indicating that this domain may play an important role in the regulation of mRNA binding by hnRNP-C1/C2. 相似文献
