The nucleotide sequence of the chick beta-actin gene was determined. The gene contains 5 introns; 4 interrupt the translated region at codons 41/42, 120/122, 267, 327/328 and a large intron occurs in the 5' untranslated region. The gene has a 97 nucleotide 5'-untranslated region and a 594 nucleotide 3'-untranslated region. A slight heterogeneity in the position of the poly A addition site exists; polyadenylation can occur at either of two positions two nucleotides apart. The gene codes for an mRNA of 1814 or 1816 nucleotides, excluding the poly(A) tail. In contrast to the chick skeletal muscle actin gene the beta-actin gene lacks the Cys codon between the initiator ATG and the codon for the N-terminal amino acid of the mature protein. In the 5' flanking DNA, 15 nucleotides downstream from the CCAAT sequence, is a tract of 25 nucleotides that is highly homologous to the sequence found in the same region of the rat beta-actin gene. 相似文献

The neuronal ELAV-like RNA-binding protein HuD binds to a regulatory element in the 3'-untranslated region of the growth-associated protein-43 (GAP-43) mRNA. Here we report that overexpression of HuD protein in PC12 cells stabilizes the GAP-43 mRNA by delaying the onset of mRNA degradation and that this process depends on the size of the poly(A) tail. Using a polysome-based in vitro mRNA decay assay, we found that addition of recombinant HuD protein to the system increased the half-life of full-length, capped, and polyadenylated GAP-43 mRNA and that this effect was caused in part by a decrease in the rate of deadenylation of the mRNA. This stabilization was specific for GAP-43 mRNA containing the HuD binding element in the 3'-untranslated region and a poly(A) tail of at least 150 A nucleotides. In correlation with the effect of HuD on GAP-43 mRNA stability, we found that HuD binds GAP-43 mRNAs with long tails (A150) with 10-fold higher affinity than to those with short tails (A30). We conclude that HuD stabilizes the GAP-43 mRNA through a mechanism that is dependent on the length of the poly(A) tail and involves changes in its affinity for the mRNA. 相似文献

RNA from a rat liver tumor (Morris hepatoma 5123tc) was used to construct cDNAs together comprising the complete coding sequence of rat oncomodulin mRNA. Information obtained from these cDNAs as well as from primer extension analysis gave a deduced length for the complete oncomodulin mRNA of approximately 680 nucleotides (excluding the poly(A) tail) including a 5'-untranslated region of 97 +/- 2 nucleotides, a 324-nucleotide-coding sequence and a 259-nucleotide 3'-noncoding region. Comparison of the oncomodulin cDNA sequence with those coding for other members of the calcium-binding protein family shows little homology with the exception of a recently reported parvalbumin cDNA where the oncomodulin and parvalbumin nucleotide sequences are 59% identical in the protein-coding region. RNA blot analysis of poly(A+) RNA from normal adult rat liver gave no evidence of oncomodulin expression in this tissue. A single RNA species was detected, however, in RNA extracts from the hepatoma and from rat and human placentas. A probe prepared from one of the rat oncomodulin cDNAs hybridized with a single DNA species in restriction digests of hepatoma and normal DNA from rat and sequences in DNA of humans and other mammals. A 38-nucleotide sequence spanning the 5'-untranslated region and the first seven codons of the oncomodulin cDNA, was far less homologous than was the same region of a parvalbumin cDNA, to a chicken calmodulin cDNA sequence coding for the first calcium-binding domain. The oncomodulin gene appears to have diverged more from that of calmodulin than has the parvalbumin gene. 相似文献

A cDNA clone for muscle adenylate kinase was isolated from a cDNA library of chick skeletal muscle poly(A)+ RNA, and the DNA sequence was determined. The cDNA insert had 854 nucleotides, which consisted of the 5'-untranslated sequence of 57 nucleotides, the sequence of 582 nucleotides coding for 194 amino acids, and the 3'-untranslated sequence of 163 nucleotides and the poly(A) tail of 52 nucleotides. The amino acid sequence predicted from the nucleotide sequence was highly homologous with the reported sequences of human, calf, porcine, and rabbit muscle adenylate kinases. RNA blot analysis of poly(A)+ RNA from various chicken tissues revealed a single species of mRNA of approximately 850 nucleotides and its tissue-specific distribution. The induction of muscle adenylate kinase mRNA synthesis during the chick embryogenesis was also demonstrated by the blot analysis. Southern blot analysis indicated a single gene for muscle adenylate kinase in the chicken genome. 相似文献

Characterization of a thyroid hormone-responsive gene from rat 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
We have isolated and characterized a rat gene coding for spot 14 mRNA: a hepatic product induced rapidly by thyroid hormone. This gene is present in a single copy/haploid genome, but encodes two mRNA species differing by 170 nucleotides in length. Through S1 nuclease analyses, the difference was mapped to the 3'-end of the mRNA with one species extending 170 nucleotides beyond the 3'-end of the other mRNA. The putative poly(A) addition signals AUUAAA and AAUAAA are found to precede the sites of polyadenylation in the shorter and longer mRNA, respectively. The mRNA codes for a protein of 150 amino acids with a molecular weight of 17,010. The protein-coding region is located closer to the 5'-end of the mRNA, leaving a relatively long 3'-untranslated region, which contains the only intron of 3,150 base pairs within the gene. At approximately 27 base pairs upstream from the start site of the mRNA, a sequence homologous to the TATA box, TAGAAAT , was found. 相似文献

A novel low molecular weight ribonucleic acid (RNA) related to transforming growth factor alpha messenger RNA 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

Human transforming growth factor alpha (TGF alpha) is coded for by an mRNA of about 4800 nucleotides. The cDNA sequence demonstrates that the 50 amino acid TGF alpha is embedded in a larger 160 amino acid precursor protein. We report here that in addition to the 4800 nucleotide TGF alpha mRNA, there is a novel second RNA species of about 350 nucleotides that hybridizes to a human TGF alpha cDNA probe. This small RNA species has been found in the RNA of several human tumor cells including HT1080, A549, A431, A2058, and A673. We have demonstrated an inverse relationship between the amounts of the 4800 nucleotide TGF alpha mRNA and the 350 nucleotide novel RNA in these human cells. Restriction enzyme cleavage of a human TGF alpha cDNA probe into three separate domains consisting of a processed coding region and 5'- and 3'-preprocessed coding and untranslated regions showed that only the 3'-untranslated region hybridized to the 350 nucleotide RNA. Using sense and anti-sense single-stranded 3'-untranslated region probes, we determined that the 350 nucleotide RNA band may be composed of multiple species of RNA which are related to the anti-sense DNA strand that is opposite to the strand that codes for the 4800 nucleotide TGF alpha mRNA. 相似文献

Primary structure of non-histone chromosomal protein HMG2 revealed by the nucleotide sequence 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12
The isolation and sequencing of a cDNA clone for the entire sequence of pig thymus non-histone protein HMG2 are described. cDNA the size of 1153 nucleotides contains an open reading frame of 627 nucleotides. The 5'-untranslated region of 146 nucleotides is extremely rich in GC residues whereas the 3'-untranslated region of 380 nucleotides is rich in AT residues. The open reading frame encodes 209 amino acids, which contain a unique continuous run of 23 acidic amino acids at the C-terminal. The deduced amino acid sequence is 79% homologous to that of HMG1 protein from the same source which we reported [Tsuda, K., Kikuchi, M., Mori, K., Waga, S., & Yoshida, M. (1988) Biochemistry 27, 6159-6163]. In addition, the hydropathy index profiles of both proteins are very similar, supporting that they have similar structural features. Northern analysis of poly(A+) RNA reveals that a single-sized mRNA codes for HMG2 protein. Southern analysis suggests that the HMG2 coding gene is homogeneous within the pig thymus genome. 相似文献

We present the complete sequence of an mRNA which is induced by estrogen in the human breast cancer cell line MCF-7 [pS2 mRNA, Masiakowski et al., Nucleic Acids Res. 10, 7895-7903 (1982)]. Primer extension and cloning of double-stranded cDNA (ds-cDNA) into a vector designed to make full-length cDNA were used to determine the sequence of the fifteen 5'-terminal nucleotides which were not present in the original pS2 ds-cDNA clone. The mRNA sequence has a major open reading frame encoding 84 amino-acids, flanked by a 40 nucleotide 5'-untranslated region and a 198 nucleotide 3'-untranslated region preceding the polyA tail. The 3'-untranslated region contains a polyadenylation signal, AUUAAA, 14 nucleotides upstream from the polyA tail. The derived protein sequence contains a putative signal peptide region suggesting that the protein may be secreted. The nucleotide and derived amino-acid sequences were compared to previously determined sequences, particularly to those of hormone-regulated proteins and growth factors, and no obvious similarities were observed. 相似文献

A cDNA clone encoding an anionic form of bovine trypsinogen was isolated from a pancreatic cDNA library. The corresponding 855-nucleotide mRNA contains a short 5' noncoding region of 8 nucleotides and a long 3' noncoding region of 56 nucleotides in addition to a poly(A) tail of at least 50 nucleotides. The deduced amino acid sequence for the anionic pretrypsinogen (247 residues) includes the N-terminal 15-amino-acid signal peptide followed by an 8-amino-acid activation peptide. The zymogen (232 residues) contains an additional C-terminal serine, compared with the amino acid sequence of bovine cationic trypsinogen. The identity between the anionic and cationic forms of bovine trypsinogen (65%) is lower than that existing between the anionic protein and other mammalian anionic trypsinogens (73-85%), suggesting that trypsin gene duplication in mammals occurred prior to the evolutionary events responsible for the species divergence. Bovine pancreatic anionic trypsin possesses all the key amino acids characteristic of the serine protease family. 相似文献

The genome of a novel foot-and-mouth disease virus, HKN/2002, was 8104 nucleotides (nt) in length (excluding the poly(C) tract and poly(A) tail) and was composed of a 1042-nt 5'-untranslated region (UTR), a 6966-nt open reading frame, and a 93-nt 3'-UTR. Genome sequences of HKN/2002 and other known FMDV strains were compared. The VP1, VP2, and VP3-based neighbor-joining (NJ) trees were divided into distinct clusters according to different serotypes, while other region-based NJ trees exhibited some degree of intercross among serotypes. Mutations in HKN/2002 were revealed, including frequent deletions and insertions in the G-H loop of VP1, and deletion involving 10 amino acid residues in the 3A protein. An evolutionary relationship of HKN/2002 with an Asian FMDV lineage isolated from a Hong Kong swine host in 1970 was postulated. A 43-nt deletion identified in the 5'-UTR of HKN/2002 possibly contributed to the loss of one pseudo-knot domain. 相似文献

Cloning of human muscle phosphofructokinase cDNA 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
Three overlapping cDNA clones for human muscle phosphofructokinase (HMPFK) covering the complete coding sequence were isolated. The sequence included a poly(A) tail, a 399 bp 3'-untranslated region, a 2337 bp coding region for 779 amino acid residues and a part of the 5'-untranslated region. Homologies between HMPFK and rabbit muscle phosphofructokinase (RMPFK) were 96% of the amino acids and 89% of the nucleotides in the coding region. Like RMPFK, HMPFK also possessed the internal homology between C- and N-halves in its primary structure. Cloning of HMPFK cDNA will help to identify the molecular defect in patients with glycogenosis type VII (HMPFK deficiency). 相似文献

A novel microsomal beta-glucosidase was recently purified and characterized from human liver that catalyzes the hydrolysis of bile acid 3-O-glucosides as endogenous compounds. The primary structure of this bile acid beta-glucosidase was deduced by cDNA cloning on the basis of the amino acid sequences of peptides obtained from the purified enzyme by proteinase digestion. The isolated cDNA comprises 3639 base pairs containing 524 nucleotides of 5'-untranslated and 334 nucleotides of 3'-untranslated sequences including the poly(A) tail. The open reading frame predicts a 927-amino acid protein with a calculated M(r) of 104,648 containing one putative transmembrane domain. Data base searches revealed no homology with any known glycosyl hydrolase or other functionally identified protein. The cDNA sequence was found with significant identity in the human chromosome 9 clone RP11-112J3 of the human genome project. The recombinant enzyme was expressed in a tagged form in COS-7 cells where it displayed bile acid beta-glucosidase activity. Northern blot analysis of various human tissues revealed high levels of expression of the bile acid beta-glucosidase mRNA (3.6-kilobase message) in brain, heart, skeletal muscle, kidney, and placenta and lower levels of expression in the liver and other organs. 相似文献

Isolation of a full-length complementary DNA coding for human E1 alpha subunit of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11

A 1.5-kilobase cDNA clone for human pyruvate dehydrogenase E1 was isolated from a lambda gt11 expression library by screening with polyclonal antiserum to the E1 alpha subunit of the porcine pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, a polyclonal antibody against bovine pyruvate dehydrogenase complex and a synthetic oligonucleotide based on the known amino acid sequence of the amino-terminal of the bovine pyruvate dehydrogenase-E1 alpha subunit. Nucleotide sequence analysis of the cDNA revealed a 5'-untranslated sequence of 72 nucleotides, a translated sequence of 1170 nucleotides, and a 3'-untranslated sequence of 223 nucleotides with a poly(A) tail. The cDNA structure predicts a leader sequence of 29 amino acids and a mature protein of 362 amino acids comprising an amino-terminal peptide identical to that of the bovine E1 alpha subunit and three serine phosphorylation sites whose sequence was also identical to those in the bovine E1 alpha subunit. The translated sequence for the mature protein differs substantially from that described by Dahl et al. (Dahl, H. H., Hunt, S. M., Hutchison, W. M., and Brown, G. K. (1987) J. Biol. Chem. 262, 7398-7403) by virtue of a frameslip between bases 390 and 594. This amended sequence is confirmed by the presence of additional restriction sites for the enzymes NaeI and HaeII at the beginning and end, respectively, of this section. The leader sequence is typical for mitochondrial enzymes being composed of a combination of neutral and basic residues. The amino acid composition is strikingly similar to that of the bovine protein. This cDNA clone hybridizes with a 1.8-kilobase mRNA on a Northern blot analysis of human fibroblasts, and a second minor band of 4.4 kilobases is also detected. 相似文献

We characterized the uncoupling activity of the plant uncoupling protein from Solanum tuberosum (StUCP) using mitochondria from intact potato tubers or from yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) expressing the StUCP gene. Compared with mitochondria from transfected yeast, StUCP is present at very low levels in intact potato mitochondrial membranes (at least thirty times lower) as shown by immunodetection with anti-UCP1 antibodies. Under conditions that ruled out undesirable effects of nucleotides and free fatty acids on uncoupling activity measurement in plant mitochondria, the linoleic acid-induced depolarization in potato mitochondria was insensitive to the nucleotides ATP, GTP, or GDP. In addition, sensitivity to linoleic acid was similar in potato and in control yeast mitochondria, suggesting that uncoupling occurring in potato mitochondria was because of a UCP-independent proton diffusion process. By contrast, yeast mitochondria expressing StUCP exhibited a higher sensitivity to free fatty acids than those from the control yeast and especially a marked proton conductance in the presence of low amounts of linoleic acid. However, this fatty acid-induced uncoupling was also insensitive to nucleotides. Altogether, these results suggest that uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation and heat production cannot be the dominant feature of StUCP expressed in native potato tissues. However, it could play a role in preventing reactive oxygen species production as proposed for mammalian UCP2 and UCP3. 相似文献
