Translational control of growth factor and proto-oncogene expression 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
Willis AE 《The international journal of biochemistry & cell biology》1999,31(1):73-86
Control of translation is now understood to be one of the major regulatory events in eukaryotic gene expression. Moreover there is evidence which suggests that aberrant expression of growth-related genes by translational mechanisms makes a significant contribution to cell transformation. However, the mechanisms which regulate translation of specific growth-related mRNAs have yet to be fully elucidated. The majority of these mRNAs have long 5' untranslated regions (UTRs) and three features which are important in translational control have been identified, namely (i) structured regions which inhibit the scanning mechanisms of translation, (ii) regulatory upstream open reading frames and (iii) internal ribosome entry segments which are capable of initiating cap-independent translation. In this review the translational regulation of specific mRNAs encoding growth factors and proto-oncogenes by these three mechanisms will be discussed, together with examples of altered translational regulation in neoplasia. 相似文献

In Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the small RNA-binding, regulatory protein RsmA is a negative control element in the formation of several extracellular products (e.g., pyocyanin, hydrogen cyanide, PA-IL lectin) as well as in the production of N-acylhomoserine lactone quorum-sensing signal molecules. RsmA was found to control positively the ability to swarm and to produce extracellular rhamnolipids and lipase, i.e., functions contributing to niche colonization by P. aeruginosa. An rsmA null mutant was entirely devoid of swarming but produced detectable amounts of rhamnolipids, suggesting that factors in addition to rhamnolipids influence the swarming ability of P. aeruginosa. A small regulatory RNA, rsmZ, which antagonized the effects of RsmA, was identified in P. aeruginosa. Expression of the rsmZ gene was dependent on both the global regulator GacA and RsmA, increased with cell density, and was subject to negative autoregulation. Overexpression of rsmZ and a null mutation in rsmA resulted in quantitatively similar, negative or positive effects on target genes, in agreement with a model that postulates titration of RsmA protein by RsmZ RNA. 相似文献

Gac/Rsm signal transduction pathway of gamma-proteobacteria: from RNA recognition to regulation of social behaviour. 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

In many gamma-proteobacteria, the conserved GacS/GacA (BarA/UvrY) two-component system positively controls the expression of one to five genes specifying small RNAs (sRNAs) that are characterized by repeated unpaired GGA motifs but otherwise appear to belong to several independent families. The GGA motifs are essential for binding small, dimeric RNA-binding proteins of a single conserved family designated RsmA (CsrA). These proteins, which also occur in bacterial species outside the gamma-proteobacteria, act as translational repressors of certain mRNAs when these contain an RsmA/CsrA binding site at or near the Shine-Dalgarno sequence plus additional binding sites located in the 5' untranslated leader mRNA. Recent structural data have established that the RsmA-like protein RsmE of Pseudomonas fluorescens makes specific contacts with an RNA consensus sequence 5'-(A)/(U)CANGGANG(U)/(A)-3' (where N is any nucleotide). Interaction with an RsmA/CsrA protein promotes the formation of a short stem supporting an ANGGAN loop. This conformation hinders access of 30S ribosomal subunits and hence translation initiation. The output of the Gac/Rsm cascade varies widely in different bacterial species and typically involves management of carbon storage and expression of virulence or biocontrol factors. Unidentified signal molecules co-ordinate the activity of the Gac/Rsm cascade in a cell population density-dependent manner. 相似文献

Mechanism of hcnA mRNA recognition in the Gac/Rsm signal transduction pathway of Pseudomonas fluorescens 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1

In the plant-beneficial bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens CHA0, the expression of antifungal exoproducts is controlled by the GacS/GacA two-component system. Two RNA binding proteins (RsmA, RsmE) ensure effective translational repression of exoproduct mRNAs. At high cell population densities, GacA induces three small RNAs (RsmX, RsmY, RsmZ) which sequester both RsmA and RsmE, thereby relieving translational repression. Here we systematically analyse the features that allow the RNA binding proteins to interact strongly with the 5' untranslated leader mRNA of the P. fluorescens hcnA gene (encoding hydrogen cyanide synthase subunit A). We obtained evidence for three major RsmA/RsmE recognition elements in the hcnA leader, based on directed mutagenesis, RsmE footprints and toeprints, and in vivo expression data. Two recognition elements were found in two stem-loop structures whose existence in the 5' leader region was confirmed by lead(II) cleavage analysis. The third recognition element, which overlapped the hcnA Shine-Dalgarno sequence, was postulated to adopt either an open conformation, which would favour ribosome binding, or a stem-loop structure, which may form upon interaction with RsmA/RsmE and would inhibit access of ribosomes. Effective control of hcnA expression by the Gac/Rsm system appears to result from the combination of the three appropriately spaced recognition elements. 相似文献
