Vertebrate TOP mRNAs contain a 5' terminal oligopyrimidine tract (5' TOP), which is subject to selective translational repression in non-growing cells or in cell-free translation systems. In the present study, we monitored in vitro the effect of increasing amounts of a 16 nucleotides long oligoribonucleotide representing the 5' terminus of mouse ribosomal protein S16 mRNA on the translation of TOP and non-TOP mRNAs. Our results demonstrate that the wild-type sequence (but not its mutant counterparts) derepresses the translation of mRNAs containing 5' TOP motifs, but failed to stimulate the translation of non-TOP mRNAs, even if the latter differed only by a single nucleotide from their 5' TOP-containing counterparts. Similar results have been obtained with both wheat germ extract and rabbit reticulocyte lysate. It appears, therefore, that translational repression of TOP mRNAs is achieved in vitro by the accumulation of a titratable repressor rather than by the loss of an activator and that this repressor recognizes multiple TOP mRNAs with a diverse set of 5' TOP motifs. 相似文献

During a large-scale in vitro translation analysis of a human full-length cDNA bank, we found many clones producing in vitro translation products showing ladder bands on a fluorogram with the equidistance of about 9 kDa at the position larger than the molecular mass expected from the open reading frame. We have analyzed a clone showing a typical pattern of the ladder bands. This clone encoded a 188-amino acid polypeptide containing a putative transmembrane domain. A green fluorescent protein-tagged polypeptide expressed in COS7 cells was localized in the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi apparatus. The ladder bands were observed in a rabbit reticulocyte lysate system, but not in a wheat germ extract system. Addition of the glutathione S-transferase-fused ubiquitin into the lysate caused upward shifts of the ladder bands. Addition of microsomal membranes prevented the formation of the ladder bands. Time course experiments demonstrated that the in vitro translation products increased in the presence of microsomal membranes, but were gradually degraded in their absence. These results suggest that the ladder formation resulted from the ubiquitination of misfolded polypeptide that failed to translocate to its proper position, and that an exclusion mechanism of misfolded membrane protein works in the rabbit reticulocyte lysate system. 相似文献

In a rabbit reticulocyte lysate cell-free system and using double antibody immunoprecipitation method, newly translated rat liver NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase (E.C. 1.6.2.4) was shown to be cleaved in the absence of exogenous membranes. Reductase having a Mr = 78,000 was shown to be converted to a Mr = 67,000 upon incubation with either lysate or antisera. Peptide maps of 78,000 dalton reductase and 67,000 dalton protein were identical except for three additional peptides present in the 78,000 dalton reductase map. The cleavage activity associated with the antisera could be prevented by using the IgG fraction, while that associated with the lysate was inhibited by using the protease inhibitors leupeptin, pepstatin or bestatin. 相似文献

A sensitive and quantitative method is described for the determination of globin mRNA distribution in rabbit reticulocyte lysate. The method uses high resolution sucrose density gradient centrifugation followed by [5'-3H]polyuridylate hybridization to poly(A)-mRNA in gradient fractions. Polyadenylate, purified globin mRNA, and ribonuclease-treated lysate are used to standardize the hybridization assay. It is demonstrated that changes of mRNA and ribosomal distribution do not affect quantitation of the total mRNA localization and Met-tRNAf which suggest that the monitoring of Met-tRNAf binding alone may not be sufficient to assess the mechanisms of control which affect the initiation of protein synthesis. 相似文献

When unliganded glucocorticoid receptor that has been stripped free of associated proteins is incubated with rabbit reticulocyte lysate, the receptor becomes associated with the 70- and 90-kDa heat shock proteins (hsp70 and hsp90), and the untransformed state of the receptor is functionally reconstituted [Scherrer, L. C., Dalman, F. C., Massa, E., Meshinchi, S., & Pratt, W. B. (1990) J. Biol. Chem. 265, 21397-21400]. Recently, an hsp70-containing protein complex (200-250 kDa) purified from rabbit reticulocyte lysate was shown to maintain a fusion protein bearing the mitochondrial matrix-targeting signal in a state that is competent for mitochondrial import [Sheffield, W. P., Shore, G. C., & Randall, S. K. (1990) J. Biol. Chem. 265, 11069-11076]. In this work, we show that this partially purified mitochondrial import-competent fraction contains both hsp90 and hsp70. When the purified fraction is immunoadsorbed with a monoclonal antibody specific for hsp90, a significant portion of the hsp70 is co-immunoadsorbed, suggesting that hsp90 and hsp70 are present together as a complex. The partially purified fraction maintains a hybrid precursor protein containing the mitochondrial matrix-targeting signal of rat pre-ornithine carbamyl transferase in an import-competent state. Incubation of immunopurified glucocorticoid receptor with this fraction of reticulocyte lysate results in ATP-dependent association of the receptor with both hsp70 and hsp90, and the resulting complexes are functional as assessed by return of the receptor to the high-affinity steroid binding conformation. The glucocorticoid receptor hetero-complex reconstituting activity of the lysate fraction is low relative to its mitochondrial import activity. Importantly, however, this is the first demonstration of the functional and structural reconstitution of the untransformed state of any steroid receptor utilizing a partially purified system. 相似文献

The effect of two high affinity Ca+ binding acidic proteins, parvalbumin and S-100 protein on protein synthesis in rabbit reticulocyte lysates (RRL), was investigated. Nuclease-treated RRL, supplemented with yeast mRNA, and 3H-leucine were incubated at 37 degrees C, and incorporation of 3H-leucine into protein was determined for 24 min. At 20 micrograms/100 microliters lysate concentration, both parvalbumin and S-100 protein caused a marked inhibition of protein synthesis compared with the control lysate. At a lower concentration parvalbumin was less inhibitory than histone H1; the effect of S-100 protein was not significant. The combined inhibitory effect of parvalbumin and H1 was not additive probably due to strong interaction between them as was evidenced by the enhanced absorbance of parvalbumin-H1 mixture. Spectrophotometric profiles of parvalbumin-tRNA mixture indicated that, unlike H1, parvalbumin did not inhibit protein synthesis by binding with nucleic acids. These results suggest an important role for parvalbumin in translational regulation. 相似文献

The inhibitory effect of the hemin-controlled translational repressor (HCR) on protein synthesis by rabbit reticulocyte lysates can be overcome by a factor in the post-ribosomal supernatant fraction. When chromatographed on Sepharose 6B, this supernatant factor migrates as a high molecular weight component that is distinct from the precursor of HCR (prorepressor). The supernatant factor does not appear to act by enzymatically degrading the repressor or by forming a stoichiometric complex with it, but may, rather, replace what has become limiting for protein synthesis due to repressor action. 相似文献

Degradation of structurally characterized proteins injected into HeLa cells. Comparison with their stability in rabbit reticulocyte lysate 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
We recently reported (Rogers, S. W., and Rechsteiner, M. (1988) J. Biol. Chem. 263, 19833-19842) the metabolic stabilities of 35 structurally characterized proteins following their injection into HeLa cells. In this study 22 proteins from that set were radioiodinated, and their susceptibilities to proteolysis were measured in reticulocyte lysate. Degradation rates varied from less than 1% per h to almost 25% per h. ATP stimulated the degradation of 21 of the proteins with nucleotide enhancement typically in the range 2- to 3-fold. When structural features of the 22 proteins were compared with their degradation rates in lysate, no correlation was found with respect to charge, size, thermal stability, or N-terminal acylation. Furthermore, relative rates of proteolysis in lysate correlated only marginally with the metabolic stabilities of the 22 proteins as measured 24-48 h after injection into HeLa cells. Degradation rates for the 22 proteins in lysate did, however, show a strong correlation with their rates of turnover immediately after injection into the human cells. Since the enhanced proteolysis observed for many proteins soon after injection is thought to reflect disruption of HeLa cytoskeletal assemblies, this correlation provides further evidence that diffusibility or location can affect intracellular protein stability. 相似文献

Rabbit globin alpha and beta chains were labeled with [3H]leucine, and with [35S] -methionine from reticulocyte tRNAMet isoacceptors using a rabbit reticulocyte cell-free synthesis system. [35S]Methionine from the three tRNAMet species isolated by RPC-5 chromatography was incorporated into internal positions of both alpha and beta globin. The initiator tRNA, tRNAIMet, exhibited very low efficiency for incorporating methionine internally, while tRNAIIMet was four times more efficient than tRNAIIIMet. Amino acid analysis of the tryptic peptides of the labeled globins revealed that all three isoacceptors incorporated methionine into the normal methionine peptides. Similar studies with Escherichia coli [35S]Met-tRNAfMet showed a 3-fold increase over the reticulocyte initiator tRNA in its capacity to incorporate methionine into the internal positions of rabbit globin. 相似文献

The glucocorticoid receptor is present in the cytosol of cell extracts as a large nonactivated (i.e. non-DNA-binding) approximately 9 S (Mr 300,000) complex. Experimental evidence indicates that the purified nonactivated glucocorticoid receptor contains a single steroid-binding protein and two approximately 90-kDa nonsteroid-binding subunits identified as heat shock protein (hsp) 90. Translation of the glucocorticoid receptor mRNA in vitro in reticulocyte lysates produces a large nonactivated glucocorticoid receptor complex similar to that found in cytosols. The cell-free synthesized glucocorticoid receptor is able to bind steroid and can be activated further to the DNA-binding form. To test the hypothesis of an active role played by hsp90 in the stabilization of a competent steroid-binding conformation of the glucocorticoid receptor, we have synthesized the receptor in a reticulocyte lysate that has been depleted of hsp90 by immunoadsorption with AC88 anti-hsp90. Although the translation capacity of the reticulocyte system was reduced considerably upon hsp90 removal, the glucocorticoid receptor was synthesized, and a significant number of molecules were found to bind [3H]triamcinolone acetonide. Chromatography on DEAE-cellulose showed that most of the receptor molecules synthesized in hsp90-depleted lysate had lost the capacity to form an oligomeric receptor complex. Addition of purified rat liver hsp90 to the hsp90-depleted lysate before translation did not increase steroid binding nor did it restore formation of the heteromeric receptor complex. Analysis of [35S] methionine-labeled glucocorticoid receptor molecules synthesized in the hsp90-depleted lysate showed the production of polypeptides differing from the expected chromatographic pattern on DEAE-cellulose. Upon addition of purified hsp90 to the hsp90-depleted lysate, before translation, the 35S-labeled synthesized receptor fractionated on DEAE-cellulose as an intermediate peak between activated and nonactivated receptor forms. The data suggest that hsp90 alone may not be sufficient for the formation of the nonactivated steroid receptor complex. 相似文献

We report the reconstruction, from a core-particle and split-protein fraction, of the larger subribosomal particle of rabbit reticulocytes. The reassembled particle was active in polyphenylalanine synthesis and in the puromycin reaction. The core-particles and split-protein fractions were obtained by treatment of the larger subparticle with salt solutions containing NH4+ and Mg2+ in the molar ratio 40:1 over the range 2.25-2.75 M-NH4Cl/56-69mM-MgCl2 at 0 degrees C. This treatment led to the loss of about eight proteins (approx. 17% of the protein moiety), which were found wholly or largely in the split-protein fraction as shown by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. The core particle retained 5S rRNA and had much decreased (no more than 10% of control) ability to function in the puromycin reaction or in poly (U)-directed polyphenylalanine synthesis. Activity was recovered when the recombined core-particle and split-protein fractions were dialysed overnight at 4 degrees C against 0.3M-NH4Cl/15mM-MgCl2/1mM-dithiothreitol/15% (v/v) glycerol/20mM-Tris/HCl, pH 7.6, and then heated for 1 h at 37 degreesEES C. The recovery was 40-80% of the original activity. Raising the concentration of MgCL2 to 300 mM in 2.5 M-NH4CL led to the removal of seven rather than eight proteins, and the core particle remained active in the puromycin reaction. We infer that the protein retained by raising the concentration of Mg2+ is an essential component of the peptidyltransferase centre of the ribosome. 相似文献

The biosynthesis of the acetylated (Hb FIc) and the non-acetylated (Hb F0) human fetal hemoglobin components has been examined in a cell-free translational system. The poly(A)-RNA was isolated from umbilical cord blood samples and translated in the heterologous translational system derived from rabbit reticulocyte lysates in the presence of labeled amino acid(s) or acetyl-CoA. The amount of each hemoglobin or globin chain made in the system was determined by separating the synthesis products by cation-exchange chromatographic methods. The in vitro synthesis ratios were close to the FIc/Ftotal values of the respective hemolysates. The same conclusion could be reached by determining the specific activity ratios of Hb FIc/Hb F0. Co-migration of radioactivity peaks with absorbance peaks indicated the synthesis of that hemoglobin or globin chain. Confirmation of the synthesis of true gamma 0 and gamma Ic was accomplished by high-pressure liquid chromatographic separation of 3H-labeled tryptic peptides. Each peptide corresponded well with the radioactivity peak. Labeled acetyl-group incorporation into Hb FIc and gamma IcT-1 provided direct evidence for acetylation of gamma chains in Hb FIc. The data indicate that the mRNA itself dictates whether a protein is acetylated and, if so, to what extent. The control appears to be not unique to the human red cell system. 相似文献

We have used native gel electrophoresis followed by fluorogenic peptide overlay to identify multiple forms of rabbit reticulocyte multicatalytic protease (MCP) or 20 S protease, and two forms of rabbit 26 S ubiquitin/ATP-dependent protease. An abundant, fast-migrating 20 S complex (20 SF) possesses modest ability to hydrolyze the fluorogenic peptide succinyl-Leu-Leu-Val-Tyr-4-methyl-coumaryl-7-amide. In contrast, two minor, slower migrating species cleave the peptide at high rates. A unique 30-kDa polypeptide is associated with one of the active MCPs, and a 160-kDa subunit is associated with the other. Two electrophoretically distinct 26 S proteases can also be isolated from rabbit reticulocyte lysate. The faster migrating form, 26 SF, is more resistant to inactivation by ATP depletion. Despite the differential response to nucleotides and the distinctive electrophoretic mobilities of 26 SF and 26 SS, we have not identified any subunit differences between the two enzymes. In addition to active 26 S proteases, we have discovered and purified a proteolytically inactive particle that contains subunits characteristic of the 26 S protease (e.g. molecular masses between 30 and 110 kDa). Incubation of this protein complex with purified MCP and ATP results in the formation of the 26 S proteases. 相似文献
