Vegetatively growing amoebae, if shaken in a starvation (nonnutrient) buffer, acquired aggregation competence, but do not embark on a morphogenetic program. The quantitative variation of ribosomal proteins in vegetative and aggregation-competent cells was compared by labeling the different cell types with [35S]methionine. Vegetative cells were examined at various phases of the growth cycle. No changes could be detected in the content of ribosomes or the apparent stoichiometry of ribosomal proteins in growing cells. In stationary phase cells, the net ribosome content declined to 15% of that observed in logarithmic phase, but the relative amounts of individual ribosomal proteins were not altered. Although aggregation-competent cells contained 30% less ribosomes compared with logarithmic phase cells, the total fraction of newly made ribosomal proteins was the same in both. In contrast to vegetative cells, distinct changes were induced in the ribosomal proteins of aggregation-competent cells. The composition of ribosomes in aggregation-competent phase resembled in every respect that observed in spore cells. As reported earlier, changes were found in all 12 of the developmentally regulated ribosomal proteins. For the majority of newly made ribosomal proteins during aggregation competence, the stoichiometry was similar to that in logarithmically growing cells. However, the relative synthesis of some was particularly higher (13- to 46-fold for A and L; 3- to 8-fold for D, E, S24, L3, S6, and L4) compared with logarithmic phase cells. About 18 proteins, which included the cell-specific ribosomal proteins L18, S10, S14, S16, and L11, were synthesized in lesser amounts than in logarithmic phase cells.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Acidic ribosomal proteins of Dictyostelium discoideum that show electrophoretic similarity to Escherichia coli proteins L7 and L12 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

This study documents the presence of three acidic proteins, A1 (pI 4.95), A2 (pI 4.85), and A3 (pI 4.70), in Dictyostelium discoideum ribosomes. All three proteins showed an apparent molecular mass of 13,000 by two-dimensional, sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis. They were selectively released by treatment of ribosomes with 50% ethanol -1 M NH4Cl. The amino acid composition of A1, A2, and A3 were identical and indicated a predominant amount of alanine. All the above properties are shared by Escherichia coli proteins L7 and L12 and acidic ribosomal proteins in many eukaryotes. Unlike other eukaryotic systems, the acidic proteins of D. discoideum were found associated with the 40S rather than the 60S ribosomal subunit. Acidic proteins analogous in size and electrophoretic mobility to those of D. discoideum were also detected in several other cellular slime mold strains. Not one of the cellular slime mold acidic proteins reacted with antibodies to E. coli proteins L7 and L12 in immunodiffusion tests. In D. discoideum, the distribution of acidic proteins was altered during development. Amoebae contained all three proteins. In spores, A1 was absent and the relative amounts of A2 and A3 were lower than in amoebae. In addition, nine other acidic ribosomal proteins exhibited differences between vegetative amoebae and spores. 相似文献

A comparison of proteins from whole cell lysates of vegetative amoebae and aggregation-competent cells by high-resolution two-dimensional gel electrophoresis coupled with a sensitive silver staining method revealed distinct differences. In aggregation-competent cells, 16 proteins present in the vegetative amoebae disappeared, and 25 new proteins appeared. A few other proteins showed quantitative variation during the transition of vegetative amoebae to aggregation competence. Identification of phosphoproteins by in vivo labeling with [32P]orthophosphate showed that none of the developmentally regulated cellular proteins were modified. Phosphorylation was observed in four proteins. One protein was phosphorylated exclusively in aggregation-competent cells. The phosphorylation level of two other proteins was higher in aggregation-competent cells compared with vegetative amoebae. The data suggest that phosphorylation of cellular and certain ribosomal proteins may be regulated coordinately in Dictyostelium discoideum. 相似文献

The distribution of ribosomal proteins in monosomes, polysomes, the postribosomal cytosol, and the nucleus was determined during steady-state growth in vegetative amoebae. A partitioning of previously reported cell-specific ribosomal proteins between monosomes and polysomes was observed. L18, one of the two unique proteins in amoeba ribosomes, was distributed equally among monosomes and polysomes. However S5, the other unique protein, was abundant in monosomes but barely visible in polysomes. Of the developmentally regulated proteins, D and S6 were detectable only in polysomes and S14 was more abundant in monosomes. The cytosol revealed no ribosomal proteins. On staining of the nuclear proteins with Coomassie blue, about 18, 7 from 40S subunit and 11 from 60S subunit, were identified as ribosomal proteins. By in vivo labeling of the proteins with [35S]methionine, 24 of the 34 small subunit proteins and 33 of the 42 large subunit proteins were localized in the nucleus. For the majority of the ribosomal proteins, the apparent relative stoichiometry was similar in nuclear preribosomal particles and in cytoplasmic ribosomes. However, in preribosomal particles the relative amount of four proteins (S11, S30, L7, and L10) was two- to four-fold higher and of eight proteins (S14, S15, S20, S34, L12, L27, L34, and L42) was two-to four-fold lower than that of cytoplasmic ribosomes. 相似文献

In the presence of Mn2+ and uridine diphosphate-N-acetyl-D-[14C]glucosamine, a total particulate fraction prepared from Dictyostelium discoideum amoebae catalyzed the transfer of N-acetyl[14C]glucosamine to endogenous membrane protein acceptors. No transfer to lipid acceptors was evident. The 14C products obtained from growth-phase and aggregation-competent amoebae were converted to glycopeptides by pronase digestion. The respective glycopeptides appeared identical in their chemical and chromatographic properties, suggesting that the same activity was functioning in both growing and differentiating cells. The results provided no evidence for developmental regulation of this activity in D. discoideum. 相似文献

During Dictyostelium discoideum development, cell-cell communication is mediated through cyclic AMP (cAMP)-induced cAMP synthesis and secretion (cAMP signaling) and cell-cell contact. Cell-cell contact elicits cAMP secretion and modulates the magnitude of a subsequent cAMP signaling response (D. R. Fontana and P. L. Price, Differentiation 41:184-192, 1989), demonstrating that cell-cell contact and cAMP signaling are not independent events. To identify components involved in the contact-mediated modulation of cAMP signaling, amoebal membranes were added to aggregation-competent amoebae in suspension. The membranes from aggregation-competent amoebae inhibited cAMP signaling at all concentrations tested, while the membranes from vegetative amoebae exhibited a concentration-dependent enhancement or inhibition of cAMP signaling. Membrane lipids inhibited cAMP signaling at all concentrations tested. The lipids abolished cAMP signaling by blocking cAMP-induced adenylyl cyclase activation. The membrane lipids also inhibited amoeba-amoeba cohesion at concentrations comparable to those which inhibited cAMP signaling. The phospholipids and neutral lipids decreased cohesion and inhibited the cAMP signaling response. The glycolipid/sulfolipid fraction enhanced cohesion and cAMP signaling. Caffeine, a known inhibitor of cAMP-induced adenylyl cyclase activation, inhibited amoeba-amoeba cohesion. These studies demonstrate that endogenous lipids are capable of modulating amoeba-amoeba cohesion and cAMP-induced activation of the adenylyl cyclase. These results suggest that cohesion may modulate cAMP-induced adenylyl cyclase activation. Because the complete elimination of cohesion is accompanied by the complete elimination of cAMP signaling, these results further suggest that cohesion may be necessary for cAMP-induced adenylyl cyclase activation in D. discoideum. 相似文献

We measured the methylation of ribosomal proteins from the 30S and 50S subunits of Bacillus subtilis after growing the cells in the presence of [1-14C]methionine and [methyl-3H]methionine. Two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic analysis revealed a preferential methylation of the 50S ribosomal proteins. Proteins L11 and L16, and possibly L9, L10, L18, and L20, were methylated. On the other hand, only two possibly methylated proteins were found on the 30S subunit. A comparison of these results with those for Escherichia coli suggests a common methylation pattern for the bacterial ribosomal proteins. 相似文献

Modification of yeast ribosomal proteins. Methylation. 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Two-dimensional polyacrylamide-gel electrophoretic analysis of yeast ribosomal proteins uniformly labelled in vivo with [methyl-3H]methionine and [1-14C]methionine revealed that four ribosomal proteins are methylated, i.e. proteins S31, S32, L15 and L41. Lysine and arginine appear to be the predominant acceptors of the methyl groups. The degree of methylation ranges from 0.09 to 0.20 methyl group per modified ribosomal protein species. 相似文献

Inhibition of cell adhesion in Dictyostelium discoideum by tunicamycin is prevented by leupeptin 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The carbohydrate requirement for cell adhesion of aggregation-competent cells of Dictyostelium discoideum has been examined by use of a selective glycosylation inhibitor of N-glycosyl protein, tunicamycin (TM). TM completely inhibited EDTA-stable cell adhesion and glycosylation of some membrane glycoproteins in aggregation-competent cells of D. discoideum (Yamada, H., et al. (1982) J. Biochem. 92, 399-406). The present study showed that the inhibition of EDTA-stable cell adhesion by TM was prevented significantly when the cells were treated with TM in the presence of a protease inhibitor, leupeptin (LP), whereas the inhibition of glycosylation by TM was not prevented. The cell extract of aggregation-competent cells contained acid proteases, and LP strongly inhibited acid protease from D. discoideum in vitro. On analysis by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE), many protein bands present in the membrane fraction of control cells disappeared or decreased on TM treatment of the cells in the absence of LP, however, some of these proteins were restored when the cells were treated with TM in the presence of LP. These results strongly support an idea that EDTA-stable cell adhesion characteristic to aggregation-competent cells is mediated by glycoproteins with asparagine-linked carbohydrate. However, the requirement for the carbohydrate moiety of the glycoprotein in cell adhesion appears to be indirect in that it acts to protect the protein moiety from proteolytic degradation. 相似文献

Ribosomal proteins of HeLa cells 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Ribosomal proteins from HeLa cells were analyzed by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (Kaltschmidt-Wittmann) and dodecylsulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (Laemmli). 35 proteins are associated with the small ribosomal subunit and 47 proteins with the large ribosomal subunit. The HeLa ribosomal proteins S6, S32, L40b,c, L41 and L42 are phosphorylated in vivo and in vitro. Minor differences between HeLa and rat liver ribosomal proteins were revealed by their direct coelectrophoresis. 相似文献

Differential expression of ribosomal proteins in human normal and neoplastic colorectum. 总被引:14,自引:0,他引:14

Ribosomal proteins are a major component of ribosomes and play critical roles in protein biosynthesis. Recently it has been shown that the ribosomal proteins also function during various cellular processes that are independent of protein biosynthesis therefore called extraribosomal functions. In this study we have, for the first time, determined the expression profile of 12 ribosomal proteins (Sa, S8, S11, S12, S18, S24, L7, L13a, L18, L28, L32, and L35a) in normal epithelia of human colorectal mucosa using immunohistochemistry (IHC) and then compared their expression patterns with those of colorectal cancer. In the normal mucosa, ribosomal proteins were largely associated with the ribosomes of mucosal epithelia, and the expression level of ribosomal proteins, except for S11 and L7 proteins, was markedly increased in associated with maturation of the mucosal cells. On the other hand, these ribosomal proteins were markedly decreased in colorectal cancer compared with the normal mucosa. By contrast, S11 and L7 ribosomal proteins were rarely associated with the ribosomes of colorectal epithilia except immature mucosal cells, whereas their expression levels were significantly enhanced in colorectal cancer cells. In addition, L7 ribosomal protein was detected in the secretory granules of the enterochromaffin cells in the colorectal mucosa and in carcinoma cells expressing chromogranin A. These results indicate that the expression of ribosomal proteins is differentially regulated not only in normal mucosa but also in carcinoma of human colorectum, and suggest an extraribosomal function of L7 ribosomal protein in neuroendocrine function. 相似文献

The course of the assembly of ribosomal subunits in yeast 总被引:17,自引:0,他引:17
The course of the assembly of the various ribosomal proteins of yeast into ribosomal particles has been studied by following the incorporation of radioactive individual protein species in cytoplasmic ribosomal particles after pulse-labelling of yeast protoplasts with tritiated amino acids. The pool of ribosomal proteins is small relative to the rate of ribosomal protein synthesis, and, therefore, does not affect essentially the appearance of labelled ribosomal proteins on the ribosomal particles. From the labelling kinetics of individual protein species it can be concluded that a number of ribosomal proteins of the 60 S subunit (L6, L7, L8, L9, L11, L15, L16, L23, L24, L30, L32, L36, L40, L41, L42, L44 and L45) associate with the ribonucleoprotein particles at a relatively late stage of the ribosomal maturation process. The same was found to be true for a number of proteins of the 40 S ribosomal subunit (S10, S27, S31, S32, S33 and S34). Several members (L7, L9, L24 and L30) of the late associating group of 60-S subunit proteins were found to be absent from a nuclear 66 S precursor ribosomal fraction. These results indicate that incorporation of these proteins into the ribosomal particles takes place in the cytoplasm at a late stage of the ribosomal maturation process. 相似文献

We have prepared antisera in rabbits to the “contact sites A” glycoprotein (gp80) purified from Dictyostelium discoideum. IgG isolated from these anti-sera reacts with a number of different proteins in D discoideum lysates, as analyzed by immune precipitation and by antibody staining of gel electropherograms transferred to nitrocellulose. Blocking experiments indicate that this cross-reactivity reflects the presence of common antigeneic determinants on gp80 and other cellular proteins, rather than the presence of extraneous antibodies in the antisera. The spectrum of reactive proteins is different a: different stages of development. In particular, gp80 itself is synthesized only for a restricted period during the cell aggregation phase. The protein persists throughout development and can be detected in spores. Anti-gp80 Fab fragments bind to the surface of developing D discoideum cells and specifically block their developmentally regulated adhesion. After absorption with vegetative cells, the IgG stains only gp80 and (to a lesser extent) one other band in lysates of aggregation-competent cells. The absorbed antibodies also can block adhesion. Several proteins that appear late in development also arc stained by the absorbed IgG. 相似文献

cDNA clones encoding three antigenically related human ribosomal phosphoproteins (P-proteins) P0, P1, and P2 were isolated and sequenced. P1 and P2 are analogous to Escherichia coli ribosomal protein L7/L12, and P0 is likely to be an analog of L10. The three proteins have a nearly identical carboxy-terminal 17-amino-acid sequence (KEESEESD(D/E)DMGFGLFD-COOH) that is the basis of their immunological cross-reactivity. The identities of the P1 and P2 cDNAs were confirmed by the strong similarities of their encoded amino acid sequences to published primary structures of the homologous rat, brine shrimp, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae proteins. The P0 cDNA was initially identified by translation of hybrid-selected mRNA and immunoprecipitation of the products. To demonstrate that the coding sequences are full length, the P0, P1, and P2 cDNAs were transcribed in vitro by bacteriophage T7 RNA polymerase and the resulting mRNAs were translated in vitro. The synthetic P0, P1, and P2 proteins were serologically and electrophoretically identical to P-proteins extracted from HeLa cells. These synthetic P-proteins were incorporated into 60S but not 40S ribosomes and also assembled into a complex similar to that described for E. coli L7/L12 and L10. 相似文献

Ribosome synthesis was studied in spores at the swelling stage and compared with freshly emerged and logarithmically growing vegetative amoebae. During the swelling stage of spore germination, ribosome synthesis was abnormal. Newly made ribosomes accumulated unequal amounts of 26S and 17S rRNAs. The stoichiometric ratio 26S:17S was 0.5 in swelling spores, compared with 0.9 in amoebae. The relative level of pre-rRNA persisting in the nucleus was apparently 2- to 3-fold higher in swelling spores than in amoebae. All of the known ribosomal proteins, except for a few, were made during the swelling stage and were associated with the newly made ribosomes in expected amounts. Analysis of the 2'-O-methyl ribose content in the newly made rRNAs suggest that methylation was defective in swelling spores. Compared with growing amoebae, the methyl content was 30 and 64% less in 26S and 17S RNAs from the swelling stage, respectively. It is suggested that undermethylation could be partly responsible for the differential accumulation of newly made 26S and 17S RNAs during the early stages of spore germination in Dictyostelium discoideum. 相似文献

The actinome of Dictyostelium discoideum in comparison to actins and actin-related proteins from other organisms 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Actin belongs to the most abundant proteins in eukaryotic cells which harbor usually many conventional actin isoforms as well as actin-related proteins (Arps). To get an overview over the sometimes confusing multitude of actins and Arps, we analyzed the Dictyostelium discoideum actinome in detail and compared it with the genomes from other model organisms. The D. discoideum actinome comprises 41 actins and actin-related proteins. The genome contains 17 actin genes which most likely arose from consecutive gene duplications, are all active, in some cases developmentally regulated and coding for identical proteins (Act8-group). According to published data, the actin fraction in a D. discoideum cell consists of more than 95% of these Act8-type proteins. The other 16 actin isoforms contain a conventional actin motif profile as well but differ in their protein sequences. Seven actin genes are potential pseudogenes. A homology search of the human genome using the most typical D. discoideum actin (Act8) as query sequence finds the major actin isoforms such as cytoplasmic beta-actin as best hit. This suggests that the Act8-group represents a nearly perfect actin throughout evolution. Interestingly, limited data from D. fasciculatum, a more ancient member among the social amoebae, show different relationships between conventional actins. The Act8-type isoform is most conserved throughout evolution. Modeling of the putative structures suggests that the majority of the actin-related proteins is functionally unrelated to canonical actin. The data suggest that the other actin variants are not necessary for the cytoskeleton itself but rather regulators of its dynamical features or subunits in larger protein complexes. 相似文献

Studies were performed to identify in cytoplasmic extracts of Krebs II ascites cells protein kinase activities that might be responsible for the phosphorylation of the ribosomal proteins previously identified as phosphoproteins in these cells in vivo. Column chromatography resolved a casein kinase activity that could use ATP or GTP as a phosphoryl donor to phosphorylate, in ribosomes, exclusively the acidic 60S phosphoprotein(s) phosphorylated in vivo. A second casein kinase fraction could use ATP, only, in a similar reaction, but also contained protein kinase activity with respect to other ribosomal proteins, including the basic ribosomal protein phosphorylated in vivo, ribosomal protein S6. This latter was also among several proteins phosphorylated by an activity in the cyclic AMP-independent histone kinase fraction. 相似文献

When rat liver 60S ribosomal subunits were heated in phosphate buffer in the presence of MgCl2, 5S RNA was released in the form of a nucleoprotein complex (RNPH), which was isolated either by electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gel or centrifugation through a sucrose gradient. In addition to L5 several proteins of functional significance were identified in the complex: the acidic phosphoproteins P1-P2 and, as weaker spots, L3-L4, L6-L7 and L22. Most of these proteins were also found, but only as traces, in the RNPEDTA used as a control. RNPH was able to associate with 40S subunits. Our results support the interpretation that RNPH is located at the subunits' interface, at or near the peptidyl-transferase center. 相似文献

Approximately 20% of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and with anti-Sm autoantibodies synthesize autoantibodies, called anti-rRNP, to components of the ribosome. We found that anti-rRNP sera reacted predominantly with three ribosomal phosphoproteins of approximate Mr = 38,000, 16,000 and 15,000, both by immunoprecipitation and by immunoblotting. The human autoantibodies cross-reacted with similar antigens present in rodent, brine shrimp, and yeast cells but reacted weakly if at all with proteins of bacteria. Thus the human autoantibodies recognize epitopes that are widely conserved in evolution. Purified ribosomal proteins together with specific rabbit antisera were used to identify the two smaller rRNP antigens as the acidic phosphoproteins of the large ribosomal subunit, designated P1/P2(L40/L41) (rat), eL7/eL12 (Artemia, brine shrimp), and A1/A2 (yeast). These proteins function in the elongation step of protein synthesis in an analogous fashion to the L7/L12 ribosomal proteins of E. coli. The 38,000-dalton rRNP antigen corresponds to a nonacidic protein also associated with the large ribosomal subunit. The human autoantibodies appear to have a specificity similar to that of a previously described mouse monoclonal antibody obtained from mice injected with heterologous (chick) ribosomes, suggesting that both the human polyclonal autoantibodies and the mouse monoclonal recognize a class of epitope(s) that is common in all three ribosomal proteins. In addition, we found that many of the anti-ribosomal sera contained a further class of autoantibodies reactive with naked RNA. These may be similar to the anti-RNA antibodies previously described in both humans and mice with autoimmune disease. 相似文献

The phosphoproteins of Dictyostelium discoideum were compared at different stages of development by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Certain phosphoproteins of vegetative amoebae were conserved while others appeared and disappeared during development. Four major phosphoproteins with apparent subunit molecular weights of 50,000, 47,000, 38,000, and 34,000 disappeared precociously in response to exogenous cAMP. Two membranal phosphoproteins, with apparent subunit molecular weights of 80,000 and 81,000, appeared precociously in response to added cAMP. One of these phosphoproteins, molecular weight of 80,000, has been identified tentatively as the “contact site A” glycoprotein. Another membranal protein, with apparent subunit molecular weight of 42,000, unaffected in its appearance by cAMP, has been identified tentatively as phosphoactin. 相似文献
