The synthesis of a relatively homogeneous RNA fraction was observed in germinating wheat embryo. The fraction synthesised within the first 3 h of germination had a high molecular weight (approx. 2.10(6)) and a specific nucleotide composition. In particular, the UMP content was unusually high (47 mol%). The high UMP content resulted probably from the presence of UMP-rich regions within the newly-synthesised polynucleotide chain. Neither ribosomal nor transfer DNA sequences were transcribed at the same time. It is suggested that the newly-synthesised RNA fraction represents an mRNA precursor and is transcribed in the immediate response of wheat embryo to the environmental stimuli to germinate. 相似文献

Molecular hybridization between 3H-polyuridylic acid and unlabeled RNA prepared from unfertilized rabbit eggs and 10-h postfertilization stage rabbit embryos has been used to measure the amount and subcellular localization of adenylated maternal RNA. The results reported indicate that there is poly (A)-containing RNA (putative messenger RNA) in unfertilized rabbit eggs. The amount of poly (A) in the RNA in rabbit eggs does not increase immediately after fertilization and is located primarily in the ribosomal fraction of the cell. The rate of protein synthesis in fertilized eggs is insensitive to α-amanitin at concentrations which inhibit RNA synthesis. These results suggest that maternal mRNA makes an important contribution to protein synthesis in early stages of cleavage in the rabbit embryo. 相似文献

A few hours after administering iron to rats, liver ferritin synthesis increases several fold. However, Northern blot analysis with cDNA probes for ferritin light (L) and heavy (H) subunit mRNAs failed to show an increase in total population of either messenger. Cytoplasmic distribution of ferritin messages was therefore investigated in control and iron administered rats killed at 3.5 hours. The liver post-mitochondrial supernatant was fractionated on a sucrose gradient to separate polyribosomes, monosomes, ribosomal subunits and cell sap. RNA extracted from each fraction and analyzed using Northern blotting showed that 65% of the total mRNA population for each subunit was present in the cell sap of control rats, presumably as mRNP particles since ribosomal RNA was absent from this fraction. After iron administration, these reserves of free mRNA were recruited onto the polysomes, reducing the free mRNA pool to 15% of the total. We interpret this to be due to activation of blocked ferritin messages on entry of iron into the cell. 相似文献

During microcyst germination in the cellular slime mould Polysphondylium pallidum, an immediate rapid increase in the rate of protein synthesis ([3H]leucine incorporation) is observed within 15 min after the initiation of germination. The data, corrected for amino acid pool changes, reveal that the rate of protein synthesis reaches its peak at 1 1/2 h, after which it decreases. A low level of RNA synthesis ([3H]uridine incorporation) is observed after 1 h and this rate increases markedly after 2 h. Analysis of the RNA species shows a low level of synthesis of all ribosomal RNA's which begins between 1 and 2 h and increases after 2 h. The synthesis of a heterogeneously distributed, poly(A)-containing fraction of RNA (presumptive mRNA) is initiated some time after 2 h and the synthesis of a small molecular weight species in the 4-5S region is observed after 3 h. Thus, it seems that Polysphondylium microcysts show sequentially initiated synthesis of RNA during germination. 相似文献

A number of ribonucleic acids initiated synthesis during the first 15 min of germination of Rhizopus stolonifer sporangiospores. They included ribosomal, 5S, and transfer RNA, and a heterogeneously-sedimenting fraction that composed about 5% of the total cellular RNA; this fraction was unmethylated, did not compete with ribosomal RNA for hybridization to DNA, and was bound to poly dT-cellulose in a manner characteristic of RNAs containing polyadenylate segments. The nearly simultaneous onset of synthesis of the various RNAs with germination contrasts with the sequential onset of RNA synthesis reported for other fungal spores. 相似文献

The synthesis of RNA was studied during the synchronous germination of Blastocladia ramosa zoospores. Comparison of RNA synthesis during germination of B. ramosa and Blastocladiella emersonii zoospores revealed that B. ramosa has a longer lag time before RNA synthesis is initiated and, in addition, the rate of RNA synthesis is ten-fold lower in B. ramosa. Zoospores of B. ramosa were shown to contain pre-formed messenger RNA but this messenger RNA directs only a portion of the protein synthesis which occurs during early germination. The conclusion that the remainder of the protein synthetic activity of the germinating spores is due to new message synthesis was supported by demonstrating that the timing of the initation of protein synthesis on new messages correlates with the time RNA synthesis is initiated. New message synthesis was also demonstrated by the incorporation of label into RNA which contains a poly (A) fragment. Synthesis of all classes of RNA including ribosomal, messenger, and transfer RNA was shown to be initiated at the same time. The implications of this observation are discussed. 相似文献

稻胚凝集素(RGL)在开花后7—13天之间合成活性很强,15天以后明显下降。7—13天之间RGL合成相当旺盛是由于这一时期编码RGL的mRNA得到迅速转录,而在开花后15—30天之间以及萌发4小时内RGL的合成主要是由胚分化发育期间(7—13天)所形成的mRNA所指导的。RGL主要在水稻胚胎发育过程中合成、积累,在萌发过程中几乎不表达,所以RGL是胚胎特异的蛋白质。 相似文献

A study has been made of the RNA and protein synthesising systems of wheat embryos isolated from seed lots having high viability but differing in vigour. The rate of RNA and protein synthesis in wheat embryos during the early hours of germination is related to the vigour of the seed lot. The imposition of a stress factor, in the nature of a sub-optimal germination temperature, during germination of isolated wheat embryos magnifies the differences in rates of protein and RNA synthesis between high and low vigour seed. Using cell-free protein synthesising systems it has been demonstrated that an important difference between high and low vigour embryos lies in the relative levels of messenger RNA in the embryo. High vigour embryos contain relatively higher levels of poly A+-RNA (i.e. potential mRNA species) than lower vigour embryos and furthermore the level of poly A+-RNA in high vigour embryos increases during early germination whilst in lower vigour embryos the level decreases. The difference in poly A+-RNA levels accounts, at least partially, for the differences in rates of protein synthesis observed between embryos from high and low vigour wheat seed during early germination at both optimal and sub-optimal germination temperatures.Abbreviations HEPES

Long-lived Messenger RNA and its Relationship to Protein Synthesis During Germination of Pea (Pisum sativum L.) Seeds 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Synthesis of both protein and RNA is initiated very early ingermination in the embryo axes of pea seeds. The early RNA synthesisinvolves all three types, although there is some evidence forpreferential synthesis of mRNA in the first few hours afterthe onset of imbibition. In addition to newly synthesized mRNA,the embryo axis also contains long-lived mRNA. The amount ofthis long-lived mRNA declines markedly during the first 20 hof germination. Synthesis of both protein and RNA is initiated very early ingermination in the embryo axes of pea seeds.

In addition to newly synthesized mRNA,the embryo axis also contains long-lived mRNA. The amount ofthis long-lived mRNA declines markedly during the first 20 hof germination. Results from in vitro and in vivo protein synthesis experimentsand from studies of polysome formation suggest that much ofthe long-lived mRNA present in the embryo axis does not directprotein synthesis. The increase in the rate of protein synthesisduring germination is thus dependent on recruitment of newlysynthesized mRNA molecules. Pea, Pisum sativum L., germination, mRNA, protein synthesis 相似文献

The production of virus-specific ribonucleic acid (RNA) was investigated in KB cells infected with herpes simplex virus. A fraction of RNA annealable to virus deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) was found in these cells as early as 3 hr after virus inoculation. Production of this species of RNA increased up to 6 or 7 hr after infection, at which time elaboration of virus messenger RNA (mRNA) declined. At 24 hr after infection, the rate of incorporation of uridine into this RNA was approximately one-half of the rate present at 6 hr after inoculation. Nucleotide analysis of the RNA annealable to virus DNA was compatible with that expected for virus mRNA. Centrifugation showed considerable spread in the size of the virus-induced nucleic acid, the bulk of this RNA sedimenting between 12 and 32S. Incorporation of uridine into cell mRNA, ribosomal precursor RNA, and soluble RNA was suppressed rapidly after infection. As is the case with most other cytocidal viruses investigated to date, virus-induced suppression of cell RNA synthesis appears to be a primary mechanism of cell injury. 相似文献

Adenovirus transcription. V. Quantitation of viral RNA sequences in adenovirus 2-infected and transformed cells. 总被引:17,自引:0,他引:17
The concentrations, in copies per cell, of viral RNA sequences complementary to different regions of the genome were determined at 8, 18 and 32 hours after infection of human cells with adenovirus type 2: separated strands of fragments of 32P-labelled adenovirus 2 DNA, generated by cleavage with restriction endonucleases EcoR1, Hpa1 and BamH1, were added to reaction mixtures at sufficient concentrations to drive hybridizations with infected or transformed cell RNA. Under these conditions, the fraction of 32P-labelled DNA entering hybrid is directly proportional to the absolute amount of complementary RNA in the reaction.At 8 hours after infection in the presence of cytosine arabinoside, “early” viral messenger RNA sequences are present at a frequency of 300 to 1000 copies per cell. The abundance of early mRNA sequences in different lines of adenovirus 2-transformed rat cells is markedly lower than their concentration in lytically infected cells. Moreover, the abundance of early mRNA in a given transformed rat cell line reflects the number of copies of its template DNA sequences per diploid quantity of cell DNA. After the onset of the late phase of the lytic cycle, the abundance of one early mRNA species, that coding for a single-stranded DNA binding protein required for viral DNA replication, is amplified. Viral RNA sequences complementary to regions of the genome coding for other early mRNA sequences remain at the level observed at 8 hours after infection.Exclusively “late” viral mRNA sequences are present over a range of concentrations, 500 to 10,000 copies per cell, depending on the region of the genome. By 18 hours after infection, the nucleus contains approximately three times as much total, viral RNA as the cytoplasm. The abundant nuclear, viral RNA sequences at 18 hours are transcribed from a contiguous region, 65% of the genome in length. In some cases, viral RNA sequences complementary to mRNA sequences are very abundant in the nucleus. When cytoplasmic and nuclear fractions are mixed and incubated under annealing conditions, some mRNA sequences will anneal with more abundant, anti-messenger nuclear RNA sequences to form double-stranded RNA. Such annealing of nuclear, viral RNA to early, cytoplasmic mRNA sequences probably accounts for the inability to detect, by filter hybridization, certain classes of early mRNA sequences during the late stage of infection. 相似文献

Rna synthesis during the germination of wheat seed 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Incorporation of [14C]uridine into various RNA fractions of germinating wheat embryo was studied. During the first 3 hr of germination the precursor was incorporated predominantly into a specific component of the RNA (messenger RNA). Neither ribosomal nor transfer RNA were labeled at this time. It is concluded that biosynthetic processes are resumed after the breaking of dormancy in a sequential manner. This sequence begins with the initiation of messenger RNA synthesis. 相似文献
