The influence of polio infection on Poly(A) sequences of cellular cytoplasmic RNA was investigated. In the presence of guanidine, cellular protein synthesis was still shut off after poliovirus infection, although there was no viral RNA synthesis. The Poly(A) of these cells was unchanged with respect to quantity, size, and linkage to cellular cytoplasmic RNA. This finding strongly suggests that the shut off of cellular protein synthesis is not caused by a change of the Poly(A) sequences of cellular mRNA. 相似文献

Occurrence of mRNA for storage protein in dry soybean seeds 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Poly(A)-containing RNA has been isolated from the cotyledons of soybean seeds by adsorption on a poly(U)-Sepharose column. Approximately 0.15% of the total soybean RNA applied bound to the column. The bound RNA (poly(A)-containing RNA) was shown to be mRNA by its ability to serve as template in a cell-free system derived from wheat germ. Poly(A)-containing RNA was polydisperse, migrating from approximately 50,000 to 700,000 daltons with a mean of 150,000 daltons in polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The size of the poly(A) portion of this RNA was in the range of 55 to 290 nucleotides. The adenylic acid content of the presumed poly(A) fragment was about 95%. The radioactive products of translation directed by the poly(A)-containing RNA in the wheat germ cell-free system were analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and by immunoprecipitation using antisera against beta-conglycinin and glycinin. The results of this investigation show that mRNAs for the subunit proteins of the major components of a soybean storage protein exist in the poly(A)-containing RNA preparation obtained from the cotyledons of dry soybean seeds. 相似文献

Up to about 50% of the total radioactivity in pulse-labeled RNA in Bacillus brevis 47-5, a high-protein-producing bacterium, was found in the polyadenylated fraction [termed poly(A)-RNA] isolated by adsorption to oligodeoxythymidylic acid-cellulose. Labeled RNA was bound to the cellulose regardless of whether the radioactive precursor was [3H]adenosine or [3H]uridine, showing that the adsorbed material was poly(A)-RNA rather than free poly(A). Poly(A) tracts, isolated after digestion of pulse-labeled RNA with pancreatic and T1 RNases, were homogeneous, with a length of about 95 nucleotides. Susceptibility of the isolated poly(A) tracts to degradation by snake venom phosphodiesterase and polynucleotide phosphorylase indicated that the poly(A) sequences were located directly at the 3'-terminal of the RNA molecules. Comparison of the poly(A)-RNA content in high-protein-producing and nonprotein-producing cells of B. brevis 47 showed much higher levels in the former. Electrophoretic analysis in both denaturing and denaturing polyacrylamide gels of the poly(A)-RNAs showed a heterogeneous population of molecules ranging in size from 23S to 4S. Comparison of the molecular-weight distribution patterns revealed that a significantly greater amount of high-molecular-weight poly(A)-RNA (comigrating with 23S RNA) was present under conditions in which extracellular protein production was high. The possibility that a substantial fraction of the poly(A)-RNA might be involved in the synthesis of extracellular proteins in B. brevis 47 is discussed. 相似文献

Over 200 cloned sequences from recombinant DNA libraries prepared from Xenopus laevis embryonic poly(A)+RNA have been analyzed by colony hybridization with [32P]cDNA prepared from poly(A)+RNA from several stages of development. The period of early embryogenesis extending through the beginning of gastrulation (stage 10) is marked by the relative constancy of the abundant poly(A)+RNA population. Between the gastrula and tailbud stages (stage 24) there is a dramatic change in the pattern of abundant poly(A)+RNA species; the new pattern remains fairly constant for at least 2 days of development to the late prefeeding tadpole stages (stage 41). We have also compared nonpolysomal and polysomal poly(A)+RNA populations at two different stages. In stage 10 (early gastrula) postribosomal (free ribonucleoprotein) and polysomal poly(A)+RNA populations partly overlap; however, many cloned sequences occur in quite different concentrations in one fraction or the other. Among the sequences that are predominantly nonpolysomal at gastrula few become predominantly polysomal at tailbud stages. Thus, we have no evidence for a major recruitment of abundant nonpolysomal RNAs into polysomes with progressing development. We rather observe a general pattern in which a cloned sequence that is nonpolysomal in one stage of development tends to be nonpolysomal (if detectable at all) in other stages as well. 相似文献

Summary Nuclear poly(A)+ and polysomal poly(A)+ RNA were isolated from gastrula and early tadpole stages of the amphibianXenopus laevis. Complementary DNA was synthesized from all RNA preparations. Hybridization reactions revealed that at least all abundant and probably most of the less frequent nuclear and polysomal poly(A)+ RNA species present at the gastrula stage are also present at the early tadpole stage. On the other hand, there are nuclear RNA sequences at the latter stage which appear, if at all, only at lower concentrations at the gastrula stage. The polysomal poly(A)+ RNA hybridization reactions suggest the existence of polysomal poly(A)+ RNA sequences at early tadpole stages which are not present in the corresponding gastrula stage RNA.By cDNA hybridization with poly(A)– RNA it could be shown that most of the poly(A)+ containing RNA sequences transcribed into cDNA were also present within the poly(A)– RNA. It was estimated, that these sequences are 10 fold more abundant within the poly(A)– polysomal RNA and 3–6 more abundant within the poly(A)– nuclear RNA as compared to the poly(A)+ RNAs. 相似文献

Different radioactive RNAs were injected into Xenopus laevis oocytes, and their degradation followed with time. Deproteinized ribosomal RNAs and synthetic polynucleotides, with the exception of polyadenylic acid, were degraded rapidly with apparent first order kinetics and half-lives ranging from 1–6 hr. Transfer RNA, poly(A), and ribosomal RNA injected as whole ribosomal particles were quite stable during the period studied (20 hr). Messenger RNAs from Dictyostelium discoideum and Vesicular Stomatitis Virus, which have poly(A) sequences at their 3′ terminus, presented biphasic degradation kinetics. Approximately 60% of these RNAs was degraded in the first 6 hr, whereas the remaining 30–40% was stable for at least 22 hr. Analysis of the stable material by sucrose gradients showed that it had the same sedimentation pattern as the original material, except that it contained, in addition, free poly(A) sequences sedimenting somewhat smaller than 4S. Puromycin treatment of the cells injected with Dictyostelium mRNAs reduced the percentage of stable RNA to 10%, approximately the poly(A) content of these RNAs. Similar treatment with emetine, which also inhibited cellular protein synthesis, did not affect the stable mRNA fraction. 相似文献

RNA synthesis as measured by the incorporation of tritiated uridine into trichloroacetic acid insoluble material was studied
in the leaf protoplasts of cv. Kennebec and its parthenogenically derived dihaploid. Protoplasts of cv. Kennebec incorporated
tritiated uridine at a greater rate and accumulated more than twice the amount of radioactive materials than did the dihaploid
over a 6-h incubation period. Poly(A)+RNA, isolated from the total RNA of the tetraploid and of the dihaploid, by oligo(dT)-cellulose column chromatography, was
present in amounts of 11.3 and 5.2 % respectively. The tetraploid synthesized 4.8 times the amount of poly(A)+RNA that was synthesized by the dihaploid. 相似文献

Summary DNA sequence divergence measurements indicate thatStrongylocentrotus franciscanus is more distinct fromS. purpuratus andS. drobachiensis than these two species are from each other, in agreement with paleontological and morphological evidence. The evolutionary divergence of several classes of expressed DNA sequences was compared with that of total single-copy DNA. BetweenS. franciscanus andS. purpuratus the divergence of cDNA made from gastrula cytoplasmic poly(A)+ RNA is about half that of total single-copy DNA. Similar results were obtained for cDNA made from unfertilized egg poly(A)+ RNA. In contrast, sequences expressed in gastrula nuclear RNA have diverged almost as much as total single-copy DNA. 相似文献

Xenopus laevis eggs and gastrula stage embryos were fractionated into three equal sections normal to the animal-vegetal axis, and poly(A)+ RNA was isolated from each section. Hybridization of these poly(A)+ RNAs with [32P]cDNA synthesized using animal or vegetal poly(A)+ RNAs showed no detectable differences in the extents or rates of reaction. Thus, the vast majority of poly(A)+ RNAs are not segregated along the animal-vegetal axis. To increase the sensitivity of these experiments, [32P]cDNAs were prepared which had reduced levels of RNA sequences from the animal region of the gastrula stage embryo or spawned unfertilized egg. Hybridization reactions with these probes showed that 3 to 5% of the input cDNA represents poly(A)+ RNA sequences enriched 2- to 20-fold in the vegetal region of the egg or gastrula stage embryo. 相似文献

To elucidate the phylogenic status of archaebacteria, some basic cellular components of an acido-thermophilic archaebacterium,Sulfolobus acidocaldarius, were studied. Poly(A) containing RNA was present in the cells, and performed the role of mRNA in a cell-free extract of reticulocyte or the archaebacteria. Poly(A) containing RNA was also found in other archaebacterial cells. The absence of cap structure was suggested in these RNAs. The cell-free protein synthesis using the archaebacterial extract was inhibited by anisomycin, a specific inhibitor for eukaryotic ribosomes. Two unique membrane-bound ATPases were detected. Based on resistance to H+-ATPase inhibitors, these enzymes seemed not to be F0F1-ATPase. 相似文献

Summary Nuclear poly(A)+ RNA was isolated from gastrula and early tadpole stages ofXenopus laevis, transcribed into cDNA and integrated as double stranded cDNA by the G-C joining method into the Pst cleavage site of plasmid pBR 322. After cloning inE. coli strain HB 101 the clone libraries were hybridized to32P labelled cDNA derived from nuclear poly(A)+ RNA of the two different developmental stages. About 20% of the clones gave a positive hybridization signal thus representing RNA molecules of high and medium abundance. From these clones, some individual clones were identified containing sequences which are not present at the oocyte and gastrula stages but which are transcribed at the early tadpole stage of embryonic development. 相似文献

Molecular markers for specific cell lineages would be useful in studies of cellular differentiation. To isolate such markers monoclonal antibodies (MoABs) were raised against plasma membranes isolated from gastrulating Xenopus embryos. Those antibodies that recognized subsets of cells within the embryo were selected by indirect immunofluorescence. The analysis of eight such MoAbs is presented. Western blot analysis showed that all but one MoAb recognized a complex pattern of glycoconjugates associated with glycoproteins. All the antigens recognized by the MoAbs were maternal in origin and displayed similar spatial patterns of pregastrular expression. This pattern of immunoreactivity at the apical surface was inherited passively during cleavage by the resulting superficial blastomeres suggesting that ectodermal specific markers of maternal origin are pre-localized to the cortical ooplasm in mature oocytes. We suggest that these maternal components may be specific glycosyl transferases. Three different patterns of expression were observed during gastrulation as exemplified by MoAbs 1F10C1, 3A4D1, and 6F10B6. MoAb 6F10B6 was specific for both neural and non-neural epithelium. MoAb 3A4D1 was specific for non-neural epidermis. MoAb 1F10C1 appeared to recognize a protein epitope on an extracellular component expressed by the superficial and involuting epithelial cells. The pattern of expression for the 1F10C1 antigen suggests that it may play a role in facilitating the movement of the involuting cells during gastrulation. 相似文献

Total cellular polyadenylated RNA [poly(A)+ RNA] was prepared after guanidinium thiocyanate extraction of frozen brain tissue from age-matched normal and Down's-syndrome (trisomy 21) human foetuses. Poly(A)+ RNA populations were analysed by translation in vitro, followed by two-dimensional gel analysis by using both isoelectric focusing (ISODALT system) and non-equilibrium pH-gradient electrophoresis (BASODALT system) as the first-dimension separation. The relative concentrations of poly(A)+ RNA species coding for seven translation products were significantly altered in Down's syndrome, as determined by both visual comparisons of translation-product fluorograms from normal and Down's-syndrome samples and by quantitative radioactivity determination of individual translation products. The relative concentrations of mRNA species coding for two proteins (68 kDa and 49 kDa) were increased in Down's syndrome and may represent genes located on chromosome 21. The relative concentrations of mRNA species coding for five proteins (37 kDa, 35 kDa, 25.5 kDa, 24.5 kDa, 23 kDa) were decreased in Down's syndrome, these probably representing secondary effects of the trisomy. Six Down's-syndrome-linked translation products (49 kDa, 37 kDa, 33 kDa, 25.5 kDa, 24.5 kDa, 23 kDa) did not migrate with appreciable amounts of cellular proteins on two-dimensional gels and hence may represent either proteins of high turnover rates or those that are post-translationally modified in vivo. One translation product (68 kDa) comigrated with a major cellular protein species, which was identified as a 68 kDa microtubule-associated protein by limited peptide mapping. The significance of these changes is discussed in relation to the mechanisms whereby the Down's-syndrome phenotype is expressed in the human brain. 相似文献

An extract mainly containing chromatin nonhistone proteins was obtained by means of 0.35 M NaCl from nuclei isolated from loach (Misgurnus fossilis L.) embryos at the 18 hour developmental stage (late gastrula). Injection of a concentrated nuclear extract into the loach eggs was followed by intensified (1.5--2.0 fold) incorporation of radioactive precursors [3H]uridine or 14CO2 into RNA. The stage at which natural activation of the RNA synthesis occurs (6 hours, mid blastula) remains unchanged, but the rate of incorporation after the onset of synthesis activation (8 hours, late blastula) becomes greater. 相似文献

Influence of Synchronized Sleep on the Biosynthesis of RNA in Two Nuclear Classes Isolated from Rabbit Cerebral Cortex 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0

The biosynthesis of RNA during sleep has been studied in two purified nuclear fractions, separated from rabbit cerebral cortex after subarachnoidal injection of radioactive orotate. The biochemical parameters have been referred to the percent EEG synchronization recorded during the period of incorporation (1 hr). The content of radioactive RNA per nucleus increases significantly with percent synchronization in the fraction of large nuclei (of neuronal and astroglial origin). While sedimentation and electrophoretic analyses of this RNA are consistent with the hypothesis of an enhanced turnover of rRNA during wakefulness, the accumulation of labelled RNA which is observed during sleep may be due to a modified turnover of nuclear heterogeneous RNA. On the other hand, in the fraction of small nuclei (mostly of oligodendroglial origin) the content of radioactive RNA per nucleus and the pattern of sedimentation of labelled RNA show no dependence on the electrical state of the cortex. These data indicate that in the cerebral cortex the sleep-wakefulness transition is accompanied by a different cellular response in RNA turnover. 相似文献
