Analysis of ras oncogene products by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis: evidence for protein families with distinctive molecular forms 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Protein products of the ras family of oncogenes were immunoprecipitated by an anti-p21 monoclonal antibody, separated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and subsequently detected by western immunoblot analysis using the same anti-p21 monoclonal antibody as a probe. Using this method, a 21 kDa oncogene protein (p21) was detected and characterized in cell lines containing Harvey (Ha), Kirsten (Ki), neuroblastoma (N), or cellular (proto) ras genes. The ras gene products from all cell types occurred with multiple forms differing in size, charge or in both parameters. Transforming ras oncogene proteins occurred in easily identifiable groups that were different from each other in molecular weight and charge, were distinctive for each ras gene type and were different from cellular ras equivalents. Similar, but not identical, family groups occurred in different cell types containing the same oncogene. The reproducible occurrence of unpredicted p21 forms suggests that previously unreported post-translational processing steps may be associated with the synthesis of certain oncogene products. This immunoprecipitation/two-dimensional gel/western blot technique is a simple method for the identification and characterization of p21 gene products. 相似文献

An essential for respiration and viability (ERV1) homologue, 88R, was cloned and characterized from Rana grylio virus (RGV). Database searches found its homologues in all sequenced iridoviruses, and sequence alignment revealed a highly
conserved motif shared by all ERV1 family proteins: Cys-X-X-Cys. RT-PCR and western blot analysis revealed that 88R begins to transcribe and translate at 6 h postinfection (p.i.) and remains detectable at 48 h p.i. during RGV infection course.
Furthermore, using drug inhibition analysis by a de novo protein synthesis inhibitor and a viral DNA replication inhibitor,
RGV 88R was classified as a late (L) viral gene during the in vitro infection. 88R-EGFP fusion protein was observed in both the cytoplasm
and nucleus of pEGFP-N3-88R transfected EPC cells. Although result of immunofluorescence is similar, 88R protein was not detected
in viromatrix. Moreover, function of RGV 88R on virus replication were evaluated by RNAi assay. Nevertheless, effect of knockdown of RGV 88R expression on virus replication was not detected in cultured fish cell lines. Collectively, current data indicate that RGV
88R was a late gene of iridovirus encoding protein that distributed both the cytoplasm and nucleus.

Quercetin, a widely distributed bioflavonoid, inhibited DNA synthesis in regenerating liver after partial hepatectomy. This inhibition was accompanied by apoptosis, evidenced by in situ end-labeling and gel electrophoresis of DNA fragmentation. Characteristic DNA fragmentation was detected as early as 2 h after injection. Northern blot analysis revealed that quercetin induced the increases in c-fos and p21WAF1CIP1 mRNA levels within 2 h. The expression of p21 protein was also enhanced, while p53 mRNA and protein levels were not affected by quercetin. These results suggest that quercetin-induced apoptosis is associated with the increase in c-fos mRNA level and the upregulation of p21 mRNA and protein expression, probably in a p53-independent pathway. 相似文献

A black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) caspase cDNA homologue (PmCasp) has been identified from a hemocyte library using a previously identified caspase homologue from the banana shrimp (Penaeus merguiensis) as a probe. The full-length PmCasp was 1202bp with a 954bp open reading frame, encoding 317 amino acids. The deduced protein contained a potential active site (QACRG pentapeptide) conserved in most caspases. It had 83% identity with caspase of P. merguiensis and 30% identity with drICE protein of Drosophila melanogaster, and it exhibited caspase-3 activity in vitro. PmCasp was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli and a rabbit polyclonal antiserum was produced. In Western blots, the antiserum reacted with purified recombinant PmCasp and with lysates of E. coli containing the expressed plasmid. In crude protein extracts from normal shrimp, the antiserum reacted with 36 and 26kDa bands likely to correspond to inactive pro-caspase and its proteolytic intermediate form, respectively. PmCasp expression was measured in normal shrimp and in white spot syndrome virus (WSSV)-infected shrimp at 24 and 48h post-injection (p.i.) by semi-quantitative RT-PCR, Western blot analysis, and immunohistochemistry. Semi-quantitative RT-PCR analysis revealed up-regulation of PmCasp at 48h p.i. and expression remained high up to the moribund state. These results were supported by Western blot analysis showing increased PmCasp protein levels at 24 and 48h p.i. when compared to normal control shrimp. Immunohistochemical analysis of gills from the WSSV-infected shrimp revealed immunoreactivity localized in the cytoplasm of both normal and apparently apoptotic cells. In summary, a caspase-3 like gene is conserved in P. monodon and is up-regulated after WSSV infection. 相似文献

Background
Previous studies suggested that multiple domestication events in South and South-East Asia (Yunnan and surrounding areas) and India have led to the genesis of modern domestic chickens. Ha Giang province is a northern Vietnamese region, where local chickens, such as the H'mong breed, and wild junglefowl coexist. The assumption was made that hybridisation between wild junglefowl and Ha Giang chickens may have occurred and led to the high genetic diversity previously observed. The objectives of this study were i) to clarify the genetic structure of the chicken population within the Ha Giang province and ii) to give evidence of admixture with G. gallus. A large survey of the molecular polymorphism for 18 microsatellite markers was conducted on 1082 chickens from 30 communes of the Ha Giang province (HG chickens). This dataset was combined with a previous dataset of Asian breeds, commercial lines and samples of Red junglefowl from Thailand and Vietnam (Ha Noï). Measurements of genetic diversity were estimated both within-population and between populations, and a step-by-step Bayesian approach was performed on the global data set.Results
The highest value for expected heterozygosity (> 0.60) was found in HG chickens and in the wild junglefowl populations from Thailand. HG chickens exhibited the highest allelic richness (mean A = 2.9). No significant genetic subdivisions of the chicken population within the Ha Giang province were found. As compared to other breeds, HG chickens clustered with wild populations. Furthermore, the neighbornet tree and the Bayesian clustering analysis showed that chickens from 4 communes were closely related to the wild ones and showed an admixture pattern.Conclusion
In the absence of any population structuring within the province, the H'mong chicken, identified from its black phenotype, shared a common gene pool with other chickens from the Ha Giang population. The large number of alleles shared exclusively between Ha Giang chickens and junglefowl, as well as the results of a Bayesian clustering analysis, suggest that gene flow has been taking place from junglefowl to Ha Giang chickens. 相似文献11.

The Helicoverpa armigera nucleopolyhedrovirus (HearNPV) ORF80 (ha80) has 765 bp encoding a protein with approximately 254 amino acids and a predicted molecular weight of 30.8 kDa. Homologues of ha80 are found in most baculovirus sequences, including those from lepidopteran NPVs, lepidopteran granuloviruses (GVs), hymenopteran baculoviruses, and one dipteran baculovirus, yet their functions remain unclear. In this study we characterized ha80, and showed that it was transcribed late in infected host cells (HzAM1). The product of ha80 was a 31 kDa protein that was not a structural protein of budded virus (BV) or occlusion-derived virus (ODV) particles. Ha80 was first detected in the cytoplasm of infected HzAM1 cells at 12 h p.i., and was observed in the nucleus at later stages of infection, suggesting that it may be involved in transporting viral proteins into the host cell nucleus or play its roles in the nucleus. 相似文献

orf101 is a late gene of Autographa californica nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcMNPV). It encodes a protein of 42 kDa which is a component of the nucleocapsid of budded virus (BV) and occlusion-derived virus (ODV). To reflect this viral localization, the product of orf101 was named BV/ODV-C42 (C42). C42 is predominantly detected within the infected-cell nucleus: at 24 h postinfection (p.i.), it is coincident with the virogenic stroma, but by 72 h p.i., the stroma is minimally labeled while C42 is more uniformly located throughout the nucleus. Yeast two-hybrid screens indicate that C42 is capable of directly interacting with the viral proteins p78/83 (1629K) and ODV-EC27 (orf144). These interactions were confirmed using blue native gels and Western blot analyses. At 28 h p.i., C42 and p78/83 are detected in two complexes: one at approximately 180 kDa and a high-molecular-mass complex (500 to 600 kDa) which also contains EC27. 相似文献

In eukaryotic cells, HSP90 is associated with several protein kinases and regulates their activities. HSP90 was also reported to possess an autophosphorylase activity. In this study, we examined in vitro autophosphorylation of HSP90, which was purified from chick muscle. We show that HSP90 was not phosphorylated in vitro, but an 84-kDa protein (p84) was highly phosphorylated. P84 was neither HSP90 nor its degradative product, as it was not detected by an antibody (BF4) specific to HSP90 in denaturing immunoprecipitation and Western blot analysis. Phosphorylation of a protein similar to p84 was also detected with purified human brain and HeLa HSP90, indicating that p84 is present in many different types of cells. P84 appeared to exist as large complexes, as determined by HPLC and native gel electrophoresis. Native immunoprecipitation using anti-HSP90 (BF4)-conjugated Affi-gel revealed that this phosphoprotein is specifically associated with HSP90. The interaction of p84 and HSP90 was not affected by p84 phosphorylation. In addition, p84 phosphorylation was prevented by the presence of divalent cations such as Mg(2+) and Mn(2+). In contrast, p84 phosphorylation was significantly activated by addition of exogenous Ca(2+) between 100 and 500 microM, although it was blocked by higher concentrations (>1 mM) of Ca(2+). HSP90, but not p84, could be phosphorylated by casein kinase II. Finally, p84 phosphorylation was specifically prevented by hemin, but not by other kinase inhibitors, indicating that p84 phosphorylation may be regulated by heme-regulated protein kinase. 相似文献

Orf94 (Bm94) of Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) potentially encodes 424-amino acids with a predicted molecular weight of 49.4 kDa, but its function
remains unknown. Blast search results revealed that Bm94 homologues exist in 10 completely sequenced Lepidopteron NPVs with
identities ranging from 95 to 37%. Results of our recent study showed that Bm94 was transcribed from 12 to 72 h and the corresponding protein was detected from 24 to 72 h post-infection. Furthermore, Western
blot analysis revealed that Bm94 was present in occlusion-derived virus (ODV) and in total protein from BmNPV-infected BmN
cells, but not in budded virus. Immunofluoresence analysis revealed that the protein located primarily in the cytoplasm and
was also present in the nucleus in the later infection. In conclusion, these results together indicated that Bm94 was a late
gene, which distributed both in the cytoplasm and in the nucleus, and was identified to be a component of BmNPV ODV. 相似文献
