烟草愈伤组织分化和芽原基形成期间呼吸代谢途径的改变

接种在继代培养基上的柳叶烟草愈伤组织,未观察到组织分化和芽原基形成。在分化培养基上生长的愈伤组织,接种后第6天可见拟分生组织和管胞分化,9—12天有芽原基形成,15—18天可观察到苗端结构。根据碘乙酸、Na_3PO_4和丙二酸抑制试验,以及3-磷酸甘油醛脱氢酶与琥珀酸脱氢酶活性测定结果,初步表明烟草愈伤组织呼吸中存在有EMP、HMP和TCAC代谢途径.在发生输导组织和芽原基分化的愈伤组织中(接种后第6—12天),HMP途径的运行程度较高;而芽原基的继续生长(培养12天以后),则与EMP途径的增加有关;分化培养基上生长的愈伤组织,始终较继代培养愈伤组织具有较高的FCAC活性水平。     

烟草愈伤组织继代培养与分化期间核酸代谢的比较研究

柳叶烟草愈伤组织在分化和芽原基形成期间,DNA 和RNA 含量均高于继代培养物;在芽原基形成后和幼芽生长期间(12天以后),DNA和RNA 含量持续上升,而同期继代培养物巳进入生长静止期,DNA 和RNA 含量基本不变或略有下降。根据RNA 电泳结果还进一步分析了两种愈伤组织培养物各RNA 组分变化与总RNA 含量变化的关系。分化培养物在芽原基形成时有明显升高的RNase 活性峰和持续上升的RNA 合成速率;而此时期继代培养物的RNase 活性及RNA 合成能力均较低;分化愈伤组织的DNA 合成速率在幼芽生长期间仍维持上升趋势,且显著高于同期继代愈伤组织的合成速率。这些结果表明,烟草愈伤组织分化培养物比继代培养物有更旺盛的核酸代谢能力。

The uptake of [3H]uridine into the nucleic acids of rat uterus during early pregnancy

1. Changes in content and uptake of [(3)H]uridine into the nucleic acids of rat uterus during the first 9 days of pregnancy were studied. 2. From day 6 implantation sites were separated from the rest of the uterine tissue for independent analysis. 3. Up to day 5 of pregnancy no changes were found in the total dry matter or in RNA and DNA content/unit dry matter nor in the RNA/DNA ratios. 4. From day 6, when implantation sites are visible, the water content of the implantation sites increased by 2-3%, and the RNA content/unit dry wt. and the RNA/DNA ratios increased. The DNA content/unit dry wt. did not increase in the implantation sites until day 8. 5. Uptake of [(3)H]uridine into the acid-soluble fraction of the tissues was markedly higher in implantation sites than in non-implantation sites. 6. Uptake of [(3)H]uridine into RNA was significantly increased on day 3 of pregnancy and again on day 5. 7. On days 6 and 7, the incorporation into RNA of implantation sites was significantly higher than in the remainder of the uterine tissue but decreased on days 8 and 9 to the same value as that of the normal tissue. 8. No change occurred in uptake into DNA until day 6, when there was an increase in uptake by the implantation sites. 9. It is suggested that the increase in RNA synthesis on day 3 is a preparation of the uterus for the onset of implantation on day 5, and that increased synthesis in implantation sites on days 6 and 7 is the elaboration of new RNA necessary for this early stage of pregnancy to commence.     

The 0 degree C closed complexes between Escherichia coli RNA polymerase and two promoters, T7-A3 and lacUV5

The promoter-specific binding of Escherichia coli RNA polymerase to the T7-A3 and the lacUV5 promoters at 0 degrees C was analyzed by DNase I footprinting. At 37 degrees C, the footprint from RNA polymerase bound to the A3 promoter is essentially the same as that reported by Galas, D.J., and Schmitz, A., (1978) Nucleic Acids Res. 5, 3157-3170 for the lacUV5 promoter. At 0 degrees C, the footprint for the A3 promoter is well defined but reduced in size. The principal difference between the 0 and 37 degrees C footprints is a region from -2 to +18 which is protected by polymerase at the higher but not at the lower temperature. In contrast, the 0 degree C footprint for the lacUV5 promoter differs substantially in character from the footprint for A3 at 0 degree C. The footprint is similar to the pattern of DNase I digestion of DNA bound to a surface; alternating regions of sensitive and protected DNA are spaced at intervals of about 10 base pairs. This region of DNase I-sensitive and -resistant DNA has the same boundaries as the 0 degree C footprint on T7-A3. Temperature shift experiments confirmed the sequence specificity of the RNA polymerase interaction with UV5 at 0 degree C. These results indicate that RNA polymerase binds specifically to each promoter sequence in a closed complex. The increased time and amounts of RNA polymerase required to form the 0 degree C footprint on the lacUV5 promoter indicate that it binds RNA polymerase more weakly than does the T7-A3 promoter. Therefore there is a correlation between the binding constant for closed complex formation estimated from kinetic measurements and the formation of the 0 degree C footprint. The -35 region of the promoter may be more important in establishing the 0 degree C footprint because the T7-A3 promoter is a better match to the consensus sequence. Conversely, the -10 region seems less important because lacUV5 is a perfect match to the consensus, whereas the T7-A3 promoter matches at only five out of seven positions. The 0 degree C footprints encompass both regions along with the spacer; the combination of these regions rather than an individual region may determine the character of the footprint and the magnitude of the binding constant.     

Formation of specific T3-RNA-polymerase complexes with oligoribonucleotides and inhibition of DNA-dependent RNA synthesis

It was shown previously that E. coli RNA polymerase and T7 RNA polymerase being incubated with oligonucleotides of different length derived from RNA endonuclease hydrolysate bind selectively to certain oligonucleotides with the length larger than or equal to 5. The data presented demonstrate that T3 RNA polymerase also binds selectively from the isoplith mixtures certain oligonucleotides starting from pentanucleotides. Adding of excess of T3 RNA polymerase it was possible to exhaustively extract the recognizable oligonucleotides from the isoplith mixture. However, the exhausted by T3 RNA polymerase mixture of pentanucleotides still contained those which are bound selectively by T7 and E. coli RNA polymerases. The data suggest that various RNA-polymerases recognize different oligoribonucleotides. It was shown that T3 DNA inhibits the selective binding of penta-or heptaribonucleotides to T3 RNA polymerase competing obviously for the enzyme. The T3 RNA polymerase bound penta- or heptanucleotides inhibit DNA-dependent RNA synthesis carried out by the enzyme; the isoplith mixtures which do not contain T3 RNA polymerase bound oligonucleotides are deprived of the inhibitory properties. Only those isoplith mixtures contain T3 RNA polymerase bound oligonucleotides which were derived from symmetrically transcribed RNA which have obviously promoter simulating sequences. The data provide evidence that T2 RNA polymerase binds selectively the oligonucleotides mimicking the promotor recognition sites.     

Down-regulation of 21A Alu RNA as a tool to boost proliferation maintaining the tissue regeneration potential of progenitor cells

21A is an Alu non-coding (nc) RNA transcribed by RNA polymerase (pol) III. While investigating the biological role of 21A ncRNA we documented an inverse correlation between its expression level and the rate of cell proliferation. The downregulation of this ncRNA not only caused a boost in cell proliferation, but was also associated to a transient cell dedifferentiation, suggesting a possible involvement of this RNA in cell dedifferentiation/reprogramming. In this study, we explored the possibility to enhance proliferation and dedifferentiation of cells of interest, by 21A down-regulation, using a mixture of chemically modified Anti-21A RNAs. Our results confirmed the validity of this approach that allows the amplification of specific cell populations, in a controlled manner and without inducing permanent effects. In addition to induce cell proliferation, the procedure did not decrease the tissue regeneration potential of progenitor cells in two different cell systems.     

SP6 RNA polymerase efficiently synthesizes RNA from short double-stranded DNA templates.

SP6 DNA-dependent RNA polymerase, like T7 RNA polymerase, can be used to synthesize RNA sequences from short DNA templates which contain the 18 base pair promoter region. Use of SP6 polymerase extends the range of possible 5' sequences of RNA products, since the preferred SP6 start site (of the RNA product) is 5'GAAGA, while T7 polymerase prefers 5'GGGAG. The SP6 start site can be advantageous in large-scale syntheses where high concentrations of RNA can lead to aggregation. Using the limited number of DNA templates described here, there appears to be a significant difference between the two enzymes: SP6 polymerase requires a complete duplex DNA substrate for efficient synthesis, unlike the T7 enzyme which works efficiently when only the 18 base promoter region is double-stranded. SP6 polymerase consistently produces higher yields of RNA than does T7 polymerase, and the reactions can be easily scaled up to produce milligram quantities of RNA.
