Uptake of Tween-fatty acid esters and incorporation of the fatty acids into lipids by soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) suspension cultures was investigated, together with subsequent turnover of the incorporated fatty acids and associated changes in endogenous fatty acid synthesis. Tween uptake was saturable, and fatty acids were rapidly transferred from Tweens to all acylated lipids. Patterns of incorporation into glycerolipids were similar in cells treated with Tweens carrying [1-14C]-fatty acids and in cells treated with [1-14C]acetate, indicating that exogenous fatty acids were used for glycerolipid synthesis essentially as if they had been made by the cell. In Tween-treated cells neutral lipids (which include Tweens) initially accounted for the majority of lipid radioactivity. Radioactivity was then rapidly transferred to glycerolipids. A transient pool of free fatty acids accounting for up to 10% of lipid radioactivity was observed. This was consistent with the hypothesis that fatty acids are transferred from Tweens to lipids by deacylation of the Tweens, creating a pool of free fatty acids which are then used for lipid synthesis. Sterols were only slightly labeled in cells treated with Tweens, but accounted for nearly 50% of lipid radioactivity in cells treated with acetate. This suggested very little degradation and reutilization of the radioactive fatty acids in cells treated with Tweens. In cells treated with either [1-14C]acetate or Tween-[1-14C]-18:1, 70% of the initial fatty acid radioactivity remained in fatty acids after a 100 hour chase. By contrast, fatty acids not normally present disappeared more rapidly, suggesting differential treatment of such fatty acids compared with those normally present. Cells which had incorporated large amounts of exogenous fatty acids altered fatty acid synthesis in three distinct ways: (a) amounts of [1-14C]acetate incorporated into fatty acids were reduced; (b) cells incorporating exogenous unsaturated fatty acids increased the proportion of [1-14C]acetate partitioned into saturated fatty acids, while the converse was true of cells which had incorporated exogenous saturated fatty acids; (c) desaturation of 18:1 to 18:2 and 18:3 was reduced in cells which had incorporated unsaturated fatty acids. These results suggest that Tween-fatty acid esters will be useful for supplying fatty acids to cells for a variety of studies related to fatty acid or membrane metabolism. 相似文献

Canine spinal cord energy state after in situ freezing 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
[Methyl-3H]choline has been injected intraventricularly into adult rabbits, and the rate of synthesis of phosphatidylcholine, choline plasmalogen and sphingomyelin (and their hydrosoluble precursors) in isolated neuronal and glial cells has been investigated. At all time intervals examined, the injected radioactivity was incorporated only into the base moiety of the choline lipids in both cell types. Maximum labelling of the two choline phosphoglycerides occurred in neurons 150 min after administration, whereas the highest specific radioactivity for glial phosphatidylcholine and choline plasmalogen was reached at 6 and 10 h, respectively. At any time interval examined, the neuronal and glial choline plasmalogen displayed a higher specific radioactivity than the corresponding diacyl-derivative. The two phosphoglycerides incorporated the base in both cell populations at a faster rate than did whole brain tissue. Sphingomyelin was labelled in both cells at a low rate and acquired measurable radioactivity levels only after 2 h from isotope administration. Highest levels of radioactivity for phosphorylcholine and cytidine-5′-diphosphocholine were reached in both neurons and glia 1-2 h after administration, but these levels per unit protein were higher in glial than in neuronal cells. 相似文献

Selective determination of mRNA specific radioactivity in HeLa cells without the use of inhibitors 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Polysomes from (3H)-uridine pulse-labeled HeLa cells were isolated and the specific radioactivity of polysome-associated mRNA was determined by selective enzymic hydrolysis at 0°C of the ribosomal mRNA sections. ribosomal mRNA protected from hydrolysis during ribonuclease treatment and subsequently isolated by the proteinase K method (1) exhibited the same specific radioactivity as the interribosomal mRNA split products.When labeled polysomes were subjected to ribonuclease treatment at 25°C instead of 0°C a higher specific radioactivity of the interribosomal split products resulted, while intraribosomal sections still exhibited the same values as after 0°C treatment. The labeled polysomes used as substrate exhibited one single A260 and radioactivity peak in CsCl density gradients. No RNP material banding at ? = 1.35 ? 1.45 could be detected. However, the radioactivity maximum banded at slightly lower densities than the A260 peak (? = 1.55 versus 1.57). The shift appears to be caused by a contaminant RNA. These findings as well as the radioactivity pattern of pulse-labeled polysomes in sucrose gradients may indicate the presence of newly synthesized mRNA associated with monosomes (and oligosomes) protected from ribonuclease action at 0°C by (transport?) proteins. 相似文献

The fate of 3H-thymidine incorporated into newly synthesized DNA of CHO cells was analyzed by either the estimation of the incorporated radioactivity per cell or sedimentation in alkaline sucrose gradient. Under conditions in which DNA synthesis proceeded continuously, of incorporated radioactivity was periodically lost and regained during a 90 min chase, corresponding to a cyclic change in the sedimentation profiles. When DNA synthesis was inhibited by hydroxyurea no cyclic change of the incorporated radioactivity was observed. The cyclic changes were regarded as the result of an actual metabolic change in3H-labelled DNA probaly joining to one of the newly formed sister strands of DNA and the loss of radioactivity seems to require active continued DNA synthesis. 相似文献

The problem of whether isolated mitochondria are able to synthesize specific proteins was investigated, particular consideration being paid to the possible contribution of micro-organisms to this activity. With ox heart mitochondria it was shown that: (1) The medium used for the incubations inhibits the exponential phase of bacterial growth for at least 8h either in the absence or the presence of fresh mitochondria, but the inhibition disappears after 4h when mitochondria damaged by freezing and thawing are used. (2) The incorporation of [14C]leucine into total proteins is linear up to at least 8h, although part of the radioactivity at the later periods might be due to some incorporation by resting-phase bacteria. (3) A contamination by as little as 800 cells/mg of mitochondrial protein is enough to contribute substantially to the total radioactivity incorporated by the mitochondrial preparations. (4) Purified cytochrome b and cytochrome oxidase are labelled even under conditions of minimal contamination by micro-organisms (less than 60 cells/mg of mitochondrial protein) and the contribution of bacterial proteins to the radioactivity found in cytochromes is negligible, as shown by double-labelling experiments. (5) At 4h the specific radioactivities of cytochrome b and cytochrome oxidase are seven- and 16-fold lower respectively than that of a structural protein-rich fraction, suggesting that the labelling of cytochromes is due to a residual contamination by these proteins. 相似文献

Direct measurements of the methylation of newly-synthesized DNA were made in cultures of a clonal mouse adrenal cortex cell line, Y129OS3, by (1) following the incorporation of radioactivity from methionine-(methyl)-C14 into a segment of DNA which had been density-labeled with bromouracil and (2) labeling DNA cytosine with C14-deoxycytidine and then following the appearance of radioactivity in DNA 5-methylcytosine. The results establish that during exponential growth the DNA of this cell line is methylated entirely within a few minutes of its synthesis. Using the second technique described above accurate, sensitive measurements of DNA methylation levels can be made by comparing radioactivity in 5-methylcytosine to radioactivity in cytosine plus 5-methylcytosine. In this cell line 5-methylcytosine accounts for 4.3 ± 0.2% of the DNA cytosine. Some apparent contradictions between these results and those of other workers are discussed. 相似文献

Summary Carrot cells in suspension culture were incubated during the log-phase of the culture transfer cycle for different periods with one of the following precursors of nucleic acid synthesis: [32P]-orthophosphate, [5,6-3H]-uridine, and [2-14C]-uridine. Cells were gently broken by a short period of sonication, and the total RNA of the cells was extracted by a phenoldetergent method at pH 9.0. Subsequently, crude RNA was purified from contaminating substances like carbohydrates and nucleotides, and the pure RNA preparations were characterized by MAK-chromatography and constant velocity sedimentation in isokinetic sucrose gradients.Rapidly-labelled RNA-fractions were detected in the radioactive profiles obtained with both separation methods. These RNA-fractions showed a high specific incorporation rate, but almost no detectable UV-absorbance,i.e., they are RNA species with a high turnover rate and represent only a small part of the total RNA of the cell. With increasing periods of labelling and in a series of pulse-chase experiments high molecular weight RNA-fractions released by high-salt washing of MAK-columns exhibited a shift of the incorporated radioactivity from fractions with higher to those of lower molecular weights. Furthermore, in sucrose gradients a similar shift was observed for RNA-fractions with estimated sedimentation coefficients of 50 S, 40 S, 34 S and 22 S; the radioactivity was converted from these high to the low S-values of the 26 S and 18 S rRNAs, respectively. This parallel in the behaviour of the high molecular weight RNA-fractions from both separation methods indicates their putative role as precursors of rRNA-synthesis. Moreover, there is evidence that the high molecular weight RNA-fractions from the MAK-columns which were eluted after the 26 S rRNA consist not only of the precursors of rRNAs, but also of polydisperse RNA-fractions with S-values smaller than 18 S. These probably contain fractions of HnRNA and mRNA. 相似文献

The characteristics of a Beckman-designed slow acceleration unit for the reorientation of alkaline sucrose gradients in a Ti-15 zonal rotor are described. The large DNA species (> 250S) obtained from cultured rat brain tumor cells with this system sediment linearly with time, have virtually no [3H]leucinelabeled or covalently bonded [3H]choline-labeled material sedimenting with them, sediment independently of smaller single-stranded DNA molecules (? 165S) and are 60–80% degraded by the single-strand-specific S1 nuclease. Therefore, it is postulated that these species are collapsed, partially denatured DNA molecules or a collapsed form of single-stranded DNA. When cells were labeled with [14C]TdR, then frozen and stored at ? 79°C, this system could detect radiation-induced DNA damage from decay of the incorporated label at accumulated doses as small as 18–126 rads. 相似文献

The axonal transport of labelled proteins was studied in the optic system of adult rabbits after an intraocular injection of [3H]Ieucine. It was demonstrated that the precursor was incorporated into protein, which was transported along the axons of the retinal ganglion cells. Intraocularly injected puromycin inhibited protein synthesis in the retina and markedly inhibited the appearance of labelled protein in the optic nerve and tract. It was further demonstrated by intracisternal injection of [3H]leucine that an intraocular injection of puromycin did not affect the local protein synthesis in the optic nerve and tract. Cell fractionation studies of the optic nerve and tract showed that the rapidly migrating component, previously described as moving at an average rate of 110-150 mm/day, was largely associated with the microsomal fraction. About 40 per cent of the total protein-bound radioactivity in this component was found in the microsomal fraction and about 15 per cent was recovered in the soluble protein fraction. Most of the labelled material moving at a rate of 1-5-2 mm/day was soluble protein. The specific radioactivity of this component was about ten times greater than that of the fast one. In the slow component about 50 per cent of the radioactivity was found in the soluble protein fraction and about 10 per cent of the radioactivity was recovered in the microsomal fraction. Radioautography demonstrated incorporated label in the neuropil structures in the lateral geniculate body as early as 4-8 hr after intraocular injection. The labelling of the neuropil increased markedly during the first week, and could be observed after 3 weeks. 相似文献

A highly lung-colonizing cell line RMS/82 was obtained by DNA transfection from a low lung-colonizing line RMS/8, a clone of a rat rhabdomyosarcoma cell line. The cells were metabolically labeled with3H-glucosamine and35S-sulfate. The newly synthesized pericellular glycosaminoglycans and the ability of the cells from the two lines to degrade extracellular matrix components were studied comparatively. The following conclusions were obtained: 1) Thein vitro proliferation rate is not a determinant in the modulation of the colonizing potential of these cells; 2) The strongly colonizing RMS/82 cells release more radioactivity from the radiolabeled extracellular matrix than their weakly colonizing counterparts; 3) The cells with a high colonizing potential incorporated less radioactivity into the cell surface glycosaminoglycans, and exhibited a lower heparan sulfate to chondroitin sulfate ratio than the weakly colonizing RMS/8 line. 相似文献

A radiometric method for developing the alkaline sucrose gradient sedimentation patterns of DNA from nonlabeled cells is described. The principle of the method is the labeling of the DNA contained in the gradient fractions by means of the binding of a labeled amino acid to DNA in the presence of formaldehyde. The procedure involves incubation of the fractions with the labeling reagent, filtration of the incubation mixtures through nitrocellulose filters, and radiometry of the filters. The relationship between the radioactivity on the filters and the DNA concentration in the sample is linear; the DNA detection sensitivity is sufficient to escape overloading of the gradients. It was shown that the nonlabeled mammalian cell DNA sedimentation patterns developed by the method described and those of DNA from the same cells labeled with [3H]thymidine in vivo are identical. 相似文献

Intact murine L1210 leukemic cells incorporated significant quantities of [3H]-N-acetylneuraminic acid directly from CMP-N-acetylneuraminic acid. When pretreated with Vibrio cholerae neuraminidase, incorporation increased sixfold to tenfold. Biochemical studies comparing incorporation of N-acetyl-neuraminic acid from the nucleotide sugar with that from free sugar demonstrated that the relatively high levels of incorporation from CMP-N-acetyl-neuraminic acid could not be due to the incorporation of free sugar generated by extracellular degradation of the nucleotide sugar. Very little N-acetylneuraminic acid was taken up or incorporated by L 1210 cells from free sugar and this incorporation was not increased by neuraminidase pretreatment. Moreover, extracellular breakdown of CMP-N-acetylneuraminic acid during incubations with L 1210 cells was rather insignificant. Electron microscope autoradiography of cells incubated with CMP-N-acetylneuraminic acid demonstrated that greater than 84% of the incorporated radioactivity was associated with the plasma membrane and less than 1% with the Golgi apparatus. These findings are consistent with the conclusion that incroporation of N-acetylneuraminic acid from CMP-N-acetylneuraminic acid is the consequence of a cell surface sialytransferase system. Pretreatment of cells with the nonpenetrating reagent, diazonium salt of sulfonilic acid, significantly inhibited this ectoenzyme system while only marginally affecting galactose uptake and incorporation at the Golgi apparatus. Interestingly, incorporation from CMP-N-acetylneuraminic acid declined as the viability of the cell population declined. When taken together, the above evidence develops a rigorous argument for the presence of a sialyltransferase enzyme system at the cell surface of L 1210 cells. Studies directed towards the detection of a similar ectogalactosyltransferase system were also undertaken. Cells incubated in the presence of UDP-[3H]-galactose incorporated radioactivity into a macromolecular fraction. The presence of excess unlabeled galactose in the incubation medium significantly reduced this incorporation. Electron microscope autoradiographs of cells incubated with UDP-[3H]-galactose, demonstrated that incorporation occurred primarily at the Golgi apparatus. The grain distribution in these autoradiographs was similar to that for free galactose. Thus, the incorporation observed for L-1210 cells incubated in UDP-[3H]-galactose was due primarily to the intracellular utilization of free galactose generated by extracellular degradation of the nucleotide sugar. Inability t o demonstrate an ectogalacto-syltransferase system on L1210 cells does not rule out the possibility that the enzyme is present but undetectable due t o the absence of appropriate cell surface acceptor molecules. 相似文献

Incorporation of L-[3H]fucose into glycoproteins was studied in R2, the giant neuron in the abdominal ganglion of Aplysia. [3H]fucose injected directly into the cell body of R2 was readily incorporated into glycoproteins which, as shown by autoradiography, were confined almost entirely to the injected neuron. Within 4 h after injection, 67% of the radioactivity in R2 had been incorporated into glycoproteins; at least 95% of these could be sedimented by centrifugation at 105,000 g, suggesting that they are associated with membranes. Extraction of the particulate fraction with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), followed by gel filtration on Sephadex G-200 and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in SDS revealed the presence of only five major radioactive glycoprotein components which ranged in apparent molecular weight from 100,000 to 200,000 daltons. Similar results were obtained after intrasomatic injection of [3H]N-acetylgalactosamine. Mild acid hydrolysis of particulate fractions released all of the radioactivity in the form of fucose. When ganglia were incubated in the presence of [3H]fucose, radioactivity was preferentially incorporated into glial cells and connective tissue. In contrast to the relatively simple electrophoretic patterns obtained from cells injected with [3H]fucose, gel profiles of particulate fractions labeled with [14C]valine were much more complex. 相似文献

Optimum conditions for the determination of 5-phosphoribosyl 1-pyrophosphate (PP-ribose-P) in mouse liver are described. PP-Ribose-P is extracted from frozen liver powder with a solution of 182 μm [14C]adenine (10 μCi/μmole), 3.36 mm 2,3-diphosphoglycerate and 21.3 mm Tris-Cl buffer (pH 7.4) for 20 sec at 100°C. The amount of PP-ribose-P in the extract is calculated from the radioactivity incorporated into AMP, ADP, and ATP during a 60 min incubation at 37°C with adenine phosphoribosyltransferase and 2.5 mm CaCl2. 相似文献

Metabolism of injected l-[methyl-14C]-methionine and l-[ethyl-1-14C]-ethionine was studied in female adults of Agria housei fed chemically-defined diet (control) or ethionine-supplemented diet (0.07% w/v). Flies fed ethionine-supplemented diet showed a 50% reduction in the amount of radioactivity incorporated into proteins from injected l-[methyl-14C]-methionine compared to flies fed the control diet. Small amounts of ethionine were also incorporated into proteins possibly giving rise to functionally abnormal proteins. These observations appear to explain, at least in part, the ability of ethionine to inhibit ovarian growth in A. housei. Both methionine and ethionine are oxidized to their corresponding sulphoxides; in addition to being incorporated into proteins and lipids, radioactivity was also detected in several unidentified products. 相似文献

Summary A choline-requiring strain of Torulopsis pintolopesii when growing on choline-methyl-14C or choline-methyl-3H excretes the radioactivity incorporated in the first 24–48 h of incubation up to ca. 85–95% of the radioactivity added at the beginning of the incubation. The addition of non-radioactive methionine did not interfere with the uptake and excretion of radioactivity from choline-Me-14C. Radioactive methyl group of methionine previously incorporated by growing cells of T. pintolopesii on varying concentrations of choline was not excreted in appreciable amounts. No evidence was obtained for the oxidation of choline to betaine, degradation to trimethylamine, or net incorporation of labelled choline into lecithin. The occurrence of a new pathway for the utilization of choline in yeasts is suggested. The requirement of choline by T. pintolopesii is explained tentatively by the formation and excretion of a compound containing the carbon and hydrogen atoms from the methyl groups of choline and whose chemical structure still under study, may comprise a heteroside containing mannitol as the polyhydroxylated moiety. 相似文献

Activation of CD4+ T cells requires processing of exogenous protein antigens by antigen-presenting cells (APC). A macrophage hybridoma and B cell lymphoma were comparable in their ability to process hen egg lysozyme (HEL), which involves reduction of its disulfide bonds. The intracellular levels of cysteine and glutathione, major physiological thiols, based on protein content were similar within these cell lines. In addition, the cysteine transport pathway in viable cells was assessed by 35S-cystine uptake. For macrophages, the majority of the radioactivity resided in high density subcellular fractions of Percoll gradients that comigrated with lysosomal β-galactosidase (β-gal). Besides the lysosomes, low density fractions cosedimenting with endosomes incorporated the radiolabel in the B cells. Both peaks of radioactivity disappeared when the B cells were incubated with unlabeled carboxymethyl-cysteine (CM-cysteine), a specific competitor of the plasma membrane CG transport system. The distinct gradient profiles of radiolabel uptake in the cells correlated with a difference in their capacity to process the transferrin-lysozyme conjugate (TF-HEL). TF-HEL was significantly more stimulatory than HEL in inducing a HEL-specific T cell response with the B cells as the APC. However, the potencies of TF-HEL and HEL were similar when the macrophages were the APC. Thus, the intracellular location of cysteine transport activity may be cell lineage-dependent, and its presence may, in part, determine whether an organelle is a productive site of processing antigens with disulfide bonds that is necessary for CD4+ cell activation. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

At 0°C, CHO cells efficiently incorporated [3H]thymidine into the nucleotide fraction, but not into DNA. Upon reincubation of asynchronous cultures at 37°C, 15–25% of the radioactivity contained in the cellular nucleotide fraction was released, in the form of thymidine, into the culture medium. At 0°C, however, radioactivity of the nucleotide fraction was retained within the cells. Similarly, dTMP phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.35) in cell extracts was active at 37°C, but not at 0°C, whereas thymidine kinase (EC 2.7.1.21) was active at both temperatures. If synchronous cultures in Gl phase were prelabeled at 0°C and reincubated at 37°C, almost all radioactivity in the nucleotide fraction was released into the medium, whereas in S-phase cultures nearly all radioactivity of the nucleotide fraction was incorporated into DNA. In synchronous S-phase cultures treated with hydroxyurea, radioactivity in the nucleotide fraction was released into the medium at a rate considerably lower than that observed for Gl-phase cells. Rates of endogenous synthesis of thymidine nucleotides were calculated from changes of cellular thymidine nucleotide content, incorporation of thymidine nucleotides into DNA and release of thymidine into the medium during reincubation of prelabeled cultures in thymidine-free medium. The results obtained (see Table III) reveal marked differences between Gl and S phases with respect to the determinants of thymidine nucleotide metabolism. 相似文献

Regeneration of sialic acid on the surface of Chinese hamster cells in culture. II. Incorporation of radioactivity from glucosamine-1-14C 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
P M Kraemer 《Journal of cellular physiology》1967,69(2):199-207
Cultured Chinese hamster cells incorporated radioactivity from glucosamine-1-14C into surface sialic acid and into trypsin-removable material distinct from the surface sialoglycans. Cells prelabeled with glucosamine-1-14C and then transferred to medium containing unlabeled glucosamine progressively lost counts to the medium for many hours. Such chase experiments suggested a more rapid turnover of trypsinremovable material than of surface-bound sialic acid. Further studies of the regeneration of surface sialic acid showed that the actinomycin D-resistant portion of the process involved emergence of an intracellular precursor onto the cell surface. An earlier portion of the process was inhibited by actinomycin D, and at least three steps were inhibited by puromycin or cycloheximide. 相似文献
