We have determined the N-termini of 26 proteins of the large ribosomal subunit from yeast mitochondria by direct amino acid micro-sequencing. The N-terminal sequences of proteins YmL33 and YmL38 showed a significant similarity to eubacterial ribosomal (r-) proteins L30 and L14, respectively. In addition, several proteins could be assigned to their corresponding yeast nuclear genes. Based on a comparison of the protein sequences deduced from the corresponding DNA regions with the N-termini of the mature proteins, the putative leader peptides responsible for mitochondrial matrix-targeting were compiled. In most leader sequences a relative abundance of aromatic amino acids, preferentially phenylalanine, was found. 相似文献

Amino acid sequence of rat liver cathepsin L 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The complete amino acid sequences of the heavy and light chains of rat liver cathepsin L (EC 3.4.22.15) were determined at the protein level. The heavy and light chains consisted of 175 and 44 amino acid residues, respectively, and their Mr values without glycosyl groups calculated from these sequences were 18941 and 5056, respectively. The amino acid sequence was also determined from the N-terminal sequences of the heavy and light chains, and the sequences of cleavage fragments of the heavy chain with lysylendopeptidase and cyanogen bromide. The fragments were aligned by comparison with the amino acid sequence deduced from the sequence of cDNA of rat preprocathepsin L. The sequence of rat liver cathepsin L determined at the protein level was identical with that deduced from the cDNA sequence except that in the heavy chain, residues 176-177 (Asp-Ser) were not present at the C-terminus and alanine was replaced by proline at residue 125. Asn-108 in the heavy chain is modified with carbohydrate. 相似文献

Abstract Four promoter regions required for the expression of a promoterless antibiotic resistance gene ( cat194 ) in Streptococcus thermophilus were isolated by random chromosomal cloning experiments. These were shown to be functional in vivo, and their sequences were determined. Each region expressed different amounts of Cat protein as determined by enzyme activities. One region, STP10, was found to contain the 5' coding region of the large ribosomal subunit protein L20. 相似文献

The complete amino acid sequences of ribosomal proteins L16, L23 and L33 from the archaebacterium Halobacterium marismortui were determined. The sequences were established by manual sequencing of peptides produced with several proteases as well as by cleavage with dilute HCl. Proteins L16, L23 and L33 consist of 119, 154 and 69 amino acid residues, and their molecular masses are 13538, 16812 and 7620 Da, respectively. The comparison of their sequences with those of ribosomal proteins from other organisms revealed that L23 and L33 are related to eubacterial ribosomal proteins from Escherichia coli and Bacillus stearothermophilus, while protein L16 was found to be homologous to a eukaryotic ribosomal protein from yeast. These results provide information about the special phylogenetic position of archaebacteria. 相似文献

Abstract Three different cryptic plasmids from Lactobacillus helveticus have been identified and their DNA sequences determined. Analyses and comparisons of their primary structures revealed stretches of DNA with considerable homology. Thus, large portions of the plasmid non-coding sequences were conserved at 80–90% identity between the different plasmids identified so far in L. helveticus . Nevertheless, different plasmids found in a same host strain utilise different genes of replication, probably acquired during evolution from different replicons from Gram-positive bacterial origins. A remnant structure of such a possible genetic integration of a foreign replication gene into one of the plasmids of L. helveticus was identified. 相似文献

The nontransforming Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) strain P3HR-1 is known to have a deletion of sequences of the long unique region adjacent to the large internal repeats. The deleted region is believed to be required for initiation of transformation. To establish a more detailed map of the deletion in P3HR-1 virus, SalI-A of the transforming strain M-ABA and of P3HR-1 virus was cloned into the cosmid vector pHC79 and multiplied in Escherichia coli. The cleavage sites for BamHI, BglII, EcoRI, PstI, SacI, SacII, and XhoI were determined in the recombinant plasmid clones. Analysis of the boundary between large internal repeats and the long unique region showed that in M-ABA (EBV) the transition is different from that in B95-8 virus. The map established for SalI-A of P3HR-1 virus revealed that, in contrast to previous reports, the deletion has a size of 6.5 kilobase pairs. It involves the junction between large internal repeats and the long unique region and includes more than half of the rightmost large internal repeat. The site of the deletion in the long unique region is located between a SacI and a SacII site, about 200 base pairs apart from each other. The sequences neighboring the deletion in the long unique region showed homology to the nonrepeated sequences of the DS(R) (duplicated sequence, right) region. Sequences of the large internal repeat are thus fused to sequences of the DS(L) (duplicated sequence, left) region in P3HR-1 virus DNA under elimination of the DS(L) repeats. Jijoye, the parental Burkitt lymphoma cell line from which the P3HR-1 line is derived by single-cell cloning, is known to produce a transforming virus. Analysis of the Jijoye (EBV) genome with cloned M-ABA (EBV) probes specific for the sequences missing in P3HR-1 virus revealed that the sequences of M-ABA (EBV) BamHI-H2 are not represented in Jijoye (EBV). In Jijoye (EBV) the complete DS(L) region including the DS(L) repeats is, however, conserved. Further analysis of Jijoye (EBV) and of Jijoye virustransformed cell lines will be helpful to narrow down the region required for transformation. 相似文献

Interspecies sequence differences in the Mip protein from the genus Legionella: implications for function and evolutionary relatedness 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The nucleotide sequence of the mip genes and their inferred amino acid sequences were determined from 35 Legionella species and compared with the published sequences for L . pneumophila , L . micdadei and L . longbeachae . The sequences were 69–97% conserved at the nucleotide level and 82–99% at the amino acid level, with total conservation of amino acids determined to be associated with sites known to be involved in peptidyl prolyl cis–trans isomerase activity. No apparent difference could be determined in the arrangement of amino acids that would predict a functional difference in Mip from species associated with disease and Mip from species isolated only from the environment. Additionally, a phylogenetic comparison of the sequences with published 16S RNA sequences, using both genetic distance and maximum parsimony methods, was performed. Few relationships were apparent that were well supported by both data sets, the most robust being a clade comprising {[( cincinnatiensis , longbeachae , sainthelensi , santicrucis ) gratiana ] ( moravica , quateirensis , shakespearei , worsleiensis ) anisa , bozemanii , cherrii , dumoffii , gormanii , jordanis , parisiensis , pneumophila , steigerwaltii , tucsonensis , and wadsworthii }. 相似文献

The lytic activity induced by the lactococcal bacteriophage P001 was isolated from phage lysates of Lactococcus lactis by a four-step purification procedure. Two proteins lytic for L. lactis were identified with molecular weights of 28 kDA and 8 kDa, respectively. The N-terminal amino acid sequences of the two proteins were determined and degenerated oligonucleotide probes corresponding to these sequences were synthesized. DNA hybridization experiments with phage P001-DNA and lactococcal DNA revealed that both proteins were apparently encoded by a single lysin gene located on the phage P001 genome. This was confirmed by alignment of the determined N-terminal amino acid sequences with nucleotide sequences which were deduced from cloned Lactococcus bacteriophage lysin genes. 相似文献

Portions of ribosomal RNA genes (rDNA) were sequenced from members of the genus Lentinula and were used, along with partial beta-tubulin gene sequences, for phylogenetic reconstructions. The rDNA sequences of L. boryana were separated into two well-defined lineages. Lineage 1 was composed of isolates from Mexico and Costa Rica while lineage 2 encompassed isolates from the United States, Venezuela, and Brazil. The two South American isolates of L. boryana had nearly identical ITS sequences and very closely related beta-tubulin sequences. This high level of similarity may indicate that sexual reproduction occurs among the sampled populations, although this is difficult to reconcile with the large geographic distances (over 4000 km) that separate some of the collecting locations. An alternative explanation may be that the isolates sampled are the product of a rapid population expansion over a large geographic area. Analyses of partial beta-tubulin gene sequences that were rooted using Pleurotus spp. support the hypothesis that L. boryana is monophyletic. 相似文献

Amino acid sequences of the human kidney cathepsins H and L 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The complete amino acid sequences of human kidney cathepsin H (EC 3.4.22.16) and human kidney cathepsin L (EC 3.4.22.15) were determined. Cathepsin H contains 230 residues and has an Mr of 25116. The sequence was obtained by sequencing the light, heavy and mini chain and the peptides produced by cyanogen bromide cleavage of the single-chain form of the enzyme. The glycosylated mini chain is a proteolytic fragment of the propeptide of cathepsin H. Human cathepsin L has 217 amino acid residues and an Mr of 23720. Its amino acid sequence was deduced from N-terminal sequences of the heavy and light chains and from the sequences of cyanogen bromide fragments of the heavy chain. The fragments were aligned by comparison with known sequences of cathepsins H and L from other species. Cathepsins H and L exhibit a high degree of sequence homology to cathepsin B (EC 3.4.22.1) and other cysteine proteinases of the papain superfamily. 相似文献

Large scale sequencing of randomly selected cDNA clones was carried out to investigate the feasibility of this method for isolating plant genes. cDNA libraries were made using mRNA prepared from suspension-cultured cells of rice (Oryza sativa L.). Partial nucleotide sequences of 830 individual cDNA clones have been determined and compared with the GenBank database. Approximately 8% of the cDNA clones could be identified as particular genes. This method provides the opportunity to isolate large numbers of plant genes. 相似文献

Alaria is a common kelp genus generally found in the lower intertidal and shallow subtidal regions of rocky shores in the cold waters of the northern Hemisphere. About 16 species are currently recognized worldwide and, of these, A. fistulosa is distinguished by having hollow midrib and large blades with 10–30 m in length and 30–90 cm in width. It is the only canopy-producing kelp in the northwest Pacific, where it is restricted to the waters of north Hokkaido, Kamchatka, Aleutian Islands, and Alaska. In order to know the phylogenetic position of A. fistulosa , sequences of nr DNA ITS and plastid rbc L including spacer and psaA regions were determined in A. fistulosa and compared with homologous positions of newly sequenced putative relatives and with published sequences of other kelp species. Combined data of ITS and Rubisco spacer show that A. fistulosa was more related to the clade of Lessoniopsis and Pterygophora than to the clade of other species of Alaria , which is supported by the rbc L and psaA sequence data. The topologies from nuclear and plastid DNA sequences lead to phylogenetic independence of A. fistulosa , which is clearly different from the genus Alaria . 相似文献

Binding sites of rat liver 5S RNA to ribosomal protein L5 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The ribonucleoprotein complex consisting of 5S RNA and the protein L5 was prepared from the large subunit of rat liver ribosomes. The RNA in the complex was digested in situ with RNase A or RNase T1. The RNase-resistant RNA fragments bound to the protein were recovered and purified by 2D-PAGE, and their nucleotide sequences were determined in order to elucidate the binding sites of the RNA to the protein. The results showed that the fragments had arisen from the 5'-end region (residues 1-21), from the second hairpin loop (residues 77-102) and from the 3'-end region (residues 106-120). Harsher digestion trimmed these fragments to shorter fragments. It was concluded that the minimal interactive sequences of 5S RNA to the protein L5 were residues 13-21, residues 85-102, and residues 106-114. A part of the first hairpin loop, residues 41-52, was also suspected to interact with the protein. These protein-binding sites of rat liver 5S RNA were compared with those of Escherichia coli, Halobacterium cutirubrum and yeast, and their probable conservation from eubacteria to eukaryotes is discussed. 相似文献

The complete amino acid sequences of ribosomal proteins L9, L20, L21/22, L24 and L32 from the archaebacterium Halobacterium marismortui were determined. The comparison of the sequences of these proteins with those from other organisms revealed that proteins L21/22 and L24 are homologous to ribosomal protein Yrp29 from yeast and L19 from rat, respectively, and that H. marismortui L20 is homologous to L30 from eubacteria. H. marismortui ribosomal protein L9 showed sequence homology to both L29 from yeast and L15 from eubacteria. No homologous protein was found for H. marismortui L32. These results are discussed with respect to the phylogenetic relationship between eubacteria, archaebacteria and eukaryotes. 相似文献

The sequence of the amino-terminal region of eleven rat liver ribosomal proteins–S4, S6, S8, L7a, L18, L27, L30, L37a, and L39 - was determined. The analysis confirmed the homogeneity of the proteins and suggests that they are unique, since no extensive common sequences were found. The N-terminal regions of the rat liver proteins were compared with amino acid sequences in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and in Escherichia coli ribosomal proteins. It seems likely that the proteins L37 from rat liver and Y55 from yeast ribosomes are homologous. It is possible that rat liver L7a or L37a or both are related to S cerevisiae Y44, although the similar sequences are at the amino-terminus of the rat liver proteins and in an internal region of Y44. A number of similarities in the sequences of rat liver and E coli ribosomal proteins have been found; however, it is not yet possible to say whether they connote a common ancestry. 相似文献

Archaeal L7Ae is a multifunctional protein that binds to a distinctive K-turn motif in RNA and is found as a component in the large subunit of the ribosome, and in ribose methylation and pseudouridylation guide RNP particles. A collection of L7Ae-associated small RNAs were isolated from Sulfolobus solfataricus cell extracts and used to construct a cDNA library; 45 distinct cDNA sequences were characterized and divided into six groups. Group 1 contained six RNAs that exhibited the features characteristic of the canonical C/D box archaeal sRNAs, two RNAs that were atypical C/D box sRNAs and one RNA representative of archaeal H/ACA sRNA family. Group 2 contained 13 sense strand RNA sequences that were encoded either within, or overlapping annotated open reading frames (ORFs). Group 3 contained three sequences form intergenic regions. Group 4 contained antisense sequences from within or overlapping sense strand ORFs or antisense sequences to C/D box sRNAs. More than two-thirds of these sequences possessed K-turn motifs. Group 5 contained two sequences corresponding to internal regions of 7S RNA. Group 6 consisted of 11 sequences that were fragments from the 5' or 3' ends of 16S and 23S ribosomal RNA and from seven different tRNAs. Our data suggest that S. solfataricus contains a plethora of small RNAs. Most of these are bound directly by the L7Ae protein; the others may well be part of larger, transiently stable RNP complexes that contain the L7Ae protein as core component. 相似文献

The nucleotide sequences of insertion sequences IS3411L (left) and IS3411R (right), present as direct terminal repeats in the citrate utilization of citrate utilization transposon Tn3411, and of IS3411 (generated by intramolecular recombination between IS3411L and IS3411R) were determined. The three IS3411 elements (IS3411R, IS3411L, and IS3411) were 1,309 base pairs long and identical in DNA sequence. IS3411 had 27-base-pair terminal inverted repeats with three bases mismatched and one long open reading frame (240 amino acids) that was proposed to be a transposase. Three polypeptides of 29,000, 27,000, and about 10,000 molecular weight, determined by IS3411, were identified in minicells. Since Tn3411 generates a 3-base-pair repeat upon integration, the nucleotide sequences of IS3411 were compared with those of IS3. 相似文献

Phylogenetic relationships of aquatic birnaviruses based on deduced amino acid sequences of genome segment A cDNA. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Aquatic birnaviruses, such as infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV), cause serious diseases in a variety of fish species used worldwide in aquaculture and have also been isolated from a variety of healthy fish and shellfish species. These viruses exhibit a high degree of antigenic heterogeneity and variation in biological properties such as pathogenicity, host range, and temperature of replication. To better understand genetic and biological diversity among these viruses, the nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences were determined from cDNA of the large open reading frame (ORF) of genome segment A of the 9 type strains of Serogroup A and 4 other representative strains of Serotype A1, the predominant serotype in the United States. In addition, nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences were determined for the VP2 coding region of a variety of isolates representing 5 of the 9 serotypes. VP2 is the major outer capsid protein of aquatic birnaviruses. RT-PCR was used to amplify a 2904 bp cDNA fragment including all but a few bp of the large ORF of genome segment A or a 1611 bp fragment representing the entire VP2 coding region. Nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences were determined from the PCR products. Pairwise comparisons were made among our data and 2 other aquatic birnavirus sequences previously published. Several hypervariable regions were identified within the large ORF. The most divergent pair of viruses exhibited a similarity of 80.1% in the deduced amino acid sequence encoded by the large ORF. Genomic relationships revealed in a phylogenetic tree constructed from comparison of the deduced amino acid sequences of the large ORF demonstrated that these viruses were clustered into several genogroups. Phylogenetic comparison of the deduced amino acid sequences of the VP2 coding region of 28 aquatic birnavirus isolates, including the type strains of all 9 serotypes, demonstrated 6 genogroups, some of which were comprised of several genotypes. The most divergent pair of viruses exhibited a similarity of 81.2% in the deduced amino acid sequence from the VP2 coding region. In contrast to previous studies of much shorter genomic sequences within the C-terminus-pVP2/NS junction coding region, these genogroups based on the entire large ORF or the VP2 coding region generally correlated with geographical origin and serological classification. Isolates from the major Canadian serotypes were more closely related to the European isolates than to isolates from the United States. 相似文献
