PROSOMES are a novel class of small RNP particles of uniform morphology, but of variable RNA (pRNA) and protein composition (about 650 000 MW; 12 nm diameter in the EM). They were discovered as subcomplexes of free mRNP, tightly attached to inactive mRNA in the cytoplasm. The pRNAs hybridize stably to mRNA. Prosomes associate in vitro to mRNA and inhibit cell free protein synthesis inducing an mRNA structure unable to interact with ribosomes. Many types of prosomes were observed. The individual particle is made up by a variable combination of about 20 characteristic proteins and one or several pRNA. Some prosomal proteins are glycosylated, phosphorylated and, possibly, ADP-ribosylated and are highly conserved in evolution whilst others vary with the species and the mRNA population they are associated to. A protease activity was found associated to prosomes.The function(s) of the prosomes is(are) still unknown. The differential inhibition of in vitro protein synthesis points to a capacity to recognize mRNA and to keep it in an inactive state. The observation with the aid of monoclonal antibodies (pMABs) that prosomes and thus mRNP are attached to the intermediate filaments (IF) raises the question if one of the functions of the IF might be in the topological distribution of mRNA within the cell. Similar to the cytokeratin fibers, the prosome networks bridge neighboring cells at specific positions. — The nucleus also contains some prosomal antigens, located on chromosomes and on the nuclear matrix. Their presence and distribution in the cell compartments varies with the cell type and the prosomal antigen probed.Oocytes contain large amounts of prosomes. In embryonic development, the synthesis of individual prosomal proteins starts progressively after the blastula stage and resumes fully in gastrulation only; cleavage and blastula stage prosomes are thus of maternal origin. The nucleo-cytoplasmic distribution of prosomal antigens changes in embryos, with the stage of development and type of differentiation. In human tissues specific patterns of prosomal antigens were found in function of cell type and differentiation.In view of these data, the hypothesis may be formulated that prosomes are a population of mRNA-linked RNP which includes particles of varying individual composition and hence specificity. Attached to IF sub-networks, specific types of prosomes might accompany families of mRNA in function of the physiological state and the specialisation of given differentiated cell types. The cell-type specific organisation of the IF networks might be related to the messenger RNA complement of a given cell, and to its status of gene expression. The prosomes might thus have a function in controlling the transport, distribution and control of activity of specific mRNAs in the cell. 相似文献

Prosomes were first described as being mRNA-associated RNP (ribonucleoprotein) particles and subcomponents of repressed mRNPs (messenger ribonucleoprotein). We show here that prosomes isolated from translationally inactive mRNP have a protease activity identical to that described by others for the multicatalytic proteinase complex (MCP, 'proteasome'). By RNase or non-ionic detergent treatment, the MCP activity associated with repressed non-globin mRNP from avian erythroblasts, sedimenting at 35 S, could be quantitatively shifted on sucrose gradients to the 19-S sedimentation zone characteristic of prosomes, which were identified by monoclonal antibodies. The presence of small RNA in the enzymatic complex was shown by immunoprecipitation of the protease activity out of dissociated mRNP using a mixture of anti-prosome monoclonal antibodies; a set of small RNAs 80-120 nucleotides long was isolated from the immunoprecipitate. Furthermore, on CsCl gradients, colocalisation of the MCP activity with prosomal proteins and prosomal RNA was found, and no difference in the prosomal RNA pattern was observed whether the particles were fixed or not prior to centrifugation. These data indicate that the MCP activity is a property of prosomes, shown to be in part RNP and subcomplexes of in vivo untranslated mRNP. A hypothesis for the role of the prosome-MCP particles in maintaining homeostasis of specific protein levels is proposed. 相似文献

Prosomes, small cytoplasmic particles of mouse erythroblasts were found to contain low molecular weight RNA molecules in the range of 80 nucleotides. Nuclease digestion of prosomes suggests that prosomal proteins cover and protect almost the whole length of their RNA(s). Our results demonstrate clearly that RNA is an intrinsic component of prosomes. 相似文献

Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis of HeLa cell prosomal RNAs, 3'-end labeled by RNA ligase, revealed one prominent spot. Determination of a partial sequence at the 3'-end indicated full homology to the 18 nucleotides at the 3'-end of tRNA(Lys,3) from rabbit, the bovine and the human species. An oligonucleotide complementary to the 3'-end of tRNA(Lys,3) hybridized on Northern blots with prosomal RNA from both HeLa cells and duck erythroblasts. In two-dimensional PAGE, the major pRNA of HeLa cells co-migrated with bovine tRNA(Lys,3). Reconstitution of the CCA 3'-end of RNA from both human and duck prosomes, by tRNA-nucleotidyl-transferase, confirmed the tRNA character of this type of RNA. Furthermore, it revealed at least one additional tRNA band about 85 nt long among the prosomal RNA from both species. Finally, confirming an original property of prosomal RNA, we show that in vitro synthesized tRNA(Lys,3) hybridizes stably to duck globin mRNA, and to poly(A)(+)- and poly(A)(-)-RNA from HeLa cells. 相似文献

Prosomes (proteasomes) of higher plants 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

From different plant tissues such as tobacco (Nicotiana rustica), potato (Solanum tuberosum), and mung bean (Phaseolus radiatus), ring- or cylinder-shaped particles called prosomes were isolated by either sucrose gradient centrifugation or fast protein liquid chromatography (FPLC). These particles have a diameter of 12 to 14 nm and a length of 16 to 18 nm. They migrate under conditions of nondenaturing gel electrophoresis as one distinct band. Sedimentation coefficient and buoyant density in Cs2SO4 of the plant prosomes were determined by analytical ultracentrifugation to be approximately 23S and 1.23 g/cm3, respectively. The total molecular mass was estimated by gel filtration to be 650 kDa. Plant prosomes are composed of 12 to 15 proteins with molecular masses in the range of 24 to 35 kDa with isoelectric points of pH 5 to 7 as revealed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. The protein patterns of prosomes from the three different plant species are very similar. Polyclonal antisera against potato prosomes reacted in Western blots with prosomal proteins of all three plant species. They also bind to some prosomal proteins of animal species. Antisera against animal prosomes react with some proteins of plant prosomes. As shown by lectin blotting, plant prosomes are glycosylated carrying glucosyl- or mannosyl, and N-acetylgalactosaminyl residues. Prosomal preparations contain non-stoichiometric amounts of small RNA of about 80 kDa. These results suggest that plant prosomes are structurally and functionally homologous to prosomes of other eukaryotic cells. 相似文献

Prosomes are small ribonucleoprotein (RNP) particles of unique morphology in the electron microscope but of variable protein and RNA composition, depending on the differentiation state of the cells studied. They were initially observed as subcomplexes of untranslated mRNP. In previous studies, we found that prosomes are associated to the intermediate filaments (IF) of cytokeratin type in HeLa and PtK1 cells. Here we have studied in detail the association of prosomal antigens with the IF networks in PtK1 cells. Contrary to our earlier conclusions, in these cells the vimentin fibers also carry prosomes which, thus, distribute in between the two types of networks. During the selective collapse of the IF induced by acrylamide, and upon recovery after the withdrawal of the drug, no dissociation of the prosome and IF networks of cytokeratin- and vimentin-type could be observed. These data show that even in a dynamic situation, prosome and IF antigens do not dissociate, indicating strongly that they are located on one and the same structure. Furthermore, the differential distribution of specific prosomal antigens between both types of intermediate filament networks indicates that prosomes do not ubiquitously populate the intermediate filaments but occupy subnetworks of either vimentin or cytokeratin type. 相似文献

Prosomes. Ubiquity and inter-species structural variation 总被引:13,自引:0,他引:13

The "prosomes", a novel type of ubiquitous ribonucleoprotein particle of extraordinary stability and of defined electron microscopical structure, have been characterized in several cell types and species. Identified as a 19 S sub-component of free mRNA-protein complexes, including globin and other repressed mRNA, in the cytoplasm of duck, mouse and HeLa cells, they were previously found to inhibit protein synthesis in vitro. In all cells studied, electron microscopy shows an identical, seemingly ring-like but rather raspberry-shaped particle of 12 nm diameter, resistant to EDTA and 1% (w/v) Sarkosyl. Two-dimensional electrophoretic analysis of prosomal proteins shows a characteristic pattern in the 19,000 to 35,000 Mr range of pI 4 to 7, with an additional 56,000 Mr component specific to avian species. The prosomes found in globin mRNA-protein complexes contain about 25 protein components, 16 of which have identical molecular weight and pI values in duck and mouse, and which are also found in the prosomes of the heterogeneous free mRNPs of HeLa cells. Seral and monoclonal antibodies raised in mice against the prosomes of duck erythroblasts cross-react with some of the proteins of the mouse and HeLa cell particles. Prosomes isolated from duck and mouse globin mRNP, both contain small cytoplasmic RNAs of 70 to 90 nucleotides, which represent about 15% of the particle mass. The molecular weight and the 3'-terminal oligonucleotide of each one of these small cytoplasmic RNAs are identical in the two animal species; fingerprints of their oligonucleotides generated by RNase T1 show that more than 80% of spots are identical. In contrast, the prosomes of HeLa cells, associated with a large population of repressed mRNA, contain at least 12 small cytoplasmic RNA species. All prosomal RNAs tested so far hybridize to mRNA. The data available indicate that prosomes constitute a novel class of ubiquitous cellular ribonucleoprotein complexes, present in the nucleus and cytoplasm that, in its structural variations shown here, reflects function and species. 相似文献

Prosomes, small cytoplasmic RNP particles, contain glycoproteins 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Prosomes, ubiquitous small ribonucleoprotein complexes, were isolated from the cytoplasm of erythropoietic mouse cells induced by Friend leucemia virus. We present evidence that some of the prosomal proteins are glycosylated. Specific reactions with the biotinylated lectins concanavalin agglutinin (Con A), Solanum tuberosum agglutinin (STA) and Limulus polyphemus agglutinin (LPA) indicate that the carbohydrate moieties contain N-acetylneuraminic acid, N-acetylglucosamine and mannosyl- or glucosyl-residues. Glycosylation of prosomal proteins could explain the resistance of prosomes to proteinase K digestion. 相似文献

Prosomes and heat shock protein (HSP) complexes isolated from the cytoplasm of Drosophila cells in culture were biochemically and immunologically characterized. The two complexes were found to separate on sucrose gradients, allowing the analysis of their protein constituents by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and by reaction with anti-HSP sera and prosome-specific monoclonal antibodies. All of the prosomal proteins were found to be clearly distinct from the HSP; none of the prosomal proteins was synthesized de novo in heat shock. However, an antiprosome (anti-p27K) monoclonal antibody (mouse anti-duck) recognizing the Drosophila p29K prosomal protein allowed immunoprecipitation from a heat-shocked postmitochondrial supernatant of the crude HSP complex, including the low- and the high-molecular-weight components, in particular the 70 x 10(3)-molecular weight HSP. The highly purified small 16S HSP complex still contained this preexistent p29K prosomal protein, which thus also seems to be a metabolically stable constituent of the HSP complex. The significance of this structural and possibly functional relationship between prosomes and HSP, involving the highly ubiquitous and evolutionarily conserved prosomal protein p27/29K, remains to be elucidated. 相似文献

Abstract. Prosomes (Proteasomes/Multicatalytic proteinase (MCP)-complexes) are protein particles built of 28 subunits in variable composition, having proteinase activity. We have studied the changes in prosomal subunits p29K, p31K and the highly expressed p23K during the differentiation of U937 cells. Control cells had little prosomal subunit p31K in the cytoplasm, while p29K antigen was detected in both the nucleus and cytoplasm; more p23K antigen was found in the cytoplasm than in the nucleus. Flow cytometry demonstrated a biphasic intracellular decrease in prosomes during differentiation induced by phorbol-myristic-acetate (PMA) and retinoic acid plus 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol (RA + VD). p23K and p29K decreased both in the cytoplasm and the nucleus of differentiated cells, though the p23K antigen was concentrated near vesicles and the plasma membrane in PMA-induced cells. The p31K antigens disappeared from RA + VD-induced cells, while in PMA-induced cells, cytoplasmic labelling was unchanged and nuclear labelling was increased. Small amounts of prosomal proteins p23K and p29K were found on the outer membrane of un-induced cells. While there was no labelling on the outer membrane of RA + VD-induced cells, p23K protein increased on the plasma membrane of PMA-induced cells. The prosome-like particle protein p21K was not present to any significant extent in the intracellular compartment of control or induced cells; however, p21K was detected on the outer surface of control cells and was increased only in PMA-induced cells. The culture medium of control and induced cells contained no p21K, p23K, p29K or p31K. RA + VD seemed to induce a general decrease of prosomal subunits within the cells and at the outer surface, whereas PMA caused a migration toward the plasma membrane and an increase at the outer surface. These changes in the distribution and type of prosomes in RA + VD- and PMA-induced cells indicate that prosomes may play a part in differentiation, especially p23K which is the most highly expressed protein among those studied and presents the more important changes. 相似文献

Prosomes are mRNA-associated RNP particles and cofactors of untranslated (ribosome-) free mRNP having a multicatalytic proteinase (MCP; proteasome) activity. The expression of prosomal proteins in fetal development of the rat liver was investigated by indirect immunofluorescence, using a panel of monoclonal antibodies to individual prosomal proteins (p-mAbs). In all fetal and adult stages tested, strong immunofluorescence staining was observed with the p31K-specific p-mAb exclusively, whilst Western blot analysis showed reactivity also with the p27K and p33K antigens. Double labeling with the 31K p-mAb and an anti-cytokeratin antibody showed that the prosome antigen superimposes partially onto this type of intermediate filaments (IF), confirming earlier observations made on cultured cell lines of various types. Most interestingly, the p31K antigen was found preferentially in the pericanalicular zone of hepatocytes in the developing liver, from day 17 onwards up to the adult state. This shows a preferential concentration of prosomes of a specific type, including the p31K antigen, in the morphologically and possibly functionally specialized apical domain of the hepatocyte, in a differentiation-related fashion. 相似文献

A new type of prosome-like particle, composed of small cytoplasmic RNA and multimers of a 21-kDa protein, inhibits protein synthesis in vitro 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

A large fraction of the translationally repressed non-globin messenger RNA in duck erythroblasts is present in non-polyribosomal free mRNP structures which sediment in the 30-40-S range ('35 S'). In 0.5 M KCl, they form core complexes which show a pronounced peak at about 32 S containing mRNA and a discrete spherical RNP particle with a diameter of about 12 nm and the typical morphology of a prosome [H.-P. Schmid et al. (1984) EMBO J. 3, 29-34]. Buoyant density measurements and chromatography on oligo(dT)-cellulose indicate that this particle is bound to mRNA; it can be released from the mRNA by treatment of the free mRNP fraction with SDS. This prosome-like particle inhibits the translation of mRNA in vitro. It is composed primarily of multimers of a single 21-kDa protein and at least one species of RNA of about 80-100 nucleotides. It is resistant to dissociation by 2 M CS2SO4 and 1% SDS; the 21-kDa protein is not attacked by proteinase K unless the particle is extracted with phenol prior to treatment with the protease. The small RNA moiety of the particle hybridizes to the poly(A)-rich mRNA derived from the free mRNPs, as well as to polyribosomal mRNA. These data indicate that prosomes may serve to regulate mRNA translation; they show furthermore that prosome-like particles (about 600 kDa mass) may be built of up to 25 molecules of a single specific protein, rather than of the entire set of about 20 prosomal proteins previously identified. 相似文献

Here we demonstrate that the epidermal growth factor (EGF) induces association of prosomes (20S-proteasomes) with its receptor in A-431 cells. Additionally, ligand-dependent association of ribonucleoprotein particles (alpha-RNP), containing small ALU-like RNA, with the EGF receptor was demonstrated. A suggestion has been put forward on the involvement of prosomes and alpha-RNP in the EGF signal transmission to different stages of gene expression. 相似文献

A 19S particle was purified from tobacco (Nicotiana rustica) leaf cells. Its density was determined as 1296 g/cm3 in Cs2SO4-DMSO gradients, indicating the presence of RNA and protein. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) revealed eight distinct proteins in the range of 20-30 kD and RNA in the range of 70-80 nucleotides. Electron microscopic examination showed the same raspberry-shaped structure with a central depression as described for prosomes. We conclude that tobacco 19S particles represent small cytoplasmic complexes, possessing biochemical and structural characteristics similar to the hither-to known prosomes of animal cells. 相似文献

The small RNP complexes of defined morphology and biochemical composition termed prosomes, first isolated from the cytoplasm associated with repressed mRNA (Martins de Sa, C., M.-F. Grossi de Sa, O. Akhayat, F. Broders, and K. Scherrer. J. Mol. Biol. 1986. 187:47-493), were found also in the nucleus (Grossi de Sa, M.-F., C. Martins de Sa, F. Harper, O. Coux, O. Akhayat, P. Gounon, J. K. Pal, Y. Florentin, and K. Scherrer. 1988. J. Cell Sci. 89:151-165). Immunofluorescence, immunoelectron microscopy, and immunochemical studies using mAbs directed against some of the prosomal proteins of duck erythroblasts indicate that in the cytoplasm of HeLa and PtK cells, prosome antigens are associated with the intermediate filament network of the cytokeratin type. 相似文献

Duck erythroblasts prosomes were analysed by small angle neutron scattering (SANS), dynamic light scattering and (cryo-)electron microscopy. A molecular weight of approximately 720,000 +/- 50,000, a radius of gyration of 64 +/- 2 A and a hydrodynamic radius of approximately 86 A were obtained. Electron micrographs show a hollow cylinder-like particle with a diameter of 120 A, a height of 170 A and a diameter of 40 A for the cavity, built of four discs, the two outer ones being more pronounced than those in the center. Results from SANS indicate less then 5% of RNA in the purified prosomes, but nuclease protection assays confirm its presence. 相似文献

Prosomes were found as mRNA-associated ribonucleoprotein particles (RNP) and cofactors of untranslated (ribosome-) free mRNP. Previous data have shown the presence of prosomal networks in the cytoplasm of PtK1 and HeLa cells and their superposition onto the intermediate filaments (IF) of cytokeratin type but little if any of vimentin type. Here it is shown that in LLC-MK2 cells various prosomal antigens are present on both, vimentin and cytokeratin networks, individual prosomal antigens superposing to variable degrees onto the IF subnetworks. Some prosomal antigens in variable relative concentrations were also observed in the nuclei of these cells. We suggest the existence of prosomal subnetworks specific for each prosomal antigen superposing to a variable extent onto the IF of both types. 相似文献

RNP particles containing 20S prosomes (alpha RNP) isolated from human epidermoid carcinoma cell line A-431 are shown to posses strong and regulated endonuclease activity specific for high-molecular-weight RNA, particularly, specific mRNAs. Furthermore, alpha-RNP destabilize the 3'-untranslated regions of c-myc mRNA, creating a specific cleavage pattern. Cleavage point within Alu sequence in high-molecular-weight RNA has been localized by primer-extension method. This RNase activity is induced under the action of EGF. alpha-RNP involvement in the coordinated control of processing and stability of specific messenger RNA molecules is suggested. The endoribonuclease activity of alpha-RNP can represent a link between EGF signalling pathway and RNA processing and degradation. 相似文献

Prosomes were originally identified as 20S particles associated with untranslated mRNA; they also constitute the core of the 26S proteasomes. The cellular distribution of three types of prosomes characterized by the presence of subunits with molecular masses of 23, 27, and 30 kDa was analyzed using an immunocytochemical approach on cultured chicken erythroblasts. The prosomes containing the p27K and p30K subunits were found in diffuse distribution in both nuclei and cytoplasm. In contrast, the prosomes containing the p23K subunit, although relatively rare in the nuclear space, were found concentrated in one or two large spots. Using in situ hybridization with an alpha(A)-globin gene-specific riboprobe we found that the p23K-type prosomes colocalize in the nucleus with centers of globin (pre-)mRNA processing, and of mRNA accumulation in the cytoplasm. This result suggests there is local coincidence of specific-type prosome function with processing and, possibly, transport of a particular kind of (pre-)mRNA. 相似文献
