Plant actins are encoded by complex and highly divergent multigene families. Despite the general lack of intron conservation in animal, fungal and protist actin genes, evidence is presented which indicates that higher plant actin genes have an untranslated leader exon with structural similarity to that found in vertebrate actin genes. All functional higher plant actin genes sequenced to date contain a potential intron acceptor site in the 5 untranslated region 10 to 13 nucleotides upstream of the initiator ATG. A leader specific cDNA probe hybridized to sequences over 1.0 kbp upstream from the coding region confirming the presence of an upstream exon. Primer extension of mRNA with gene-specific oligonucleotides was used to analyze the 5 untranslated exon and leader intron from four divergent soybean actin genes, SAc3, 4, 6 and 7. The 5 ends of all four mRNAs are heterogeneous. The consensus promoter elements of the SAc7 actin promoter were identified. Gene specific primer extension sequencing of actin mRNAs indicated that splicing of the 5 leader intron occured at the predicted acceptor site in SAc6 and SAc7. The SAc6 and SAc7 5 untranslated exons are small (88–111 nt) and the leader introns are relatively large (844–1496 nt). The presence of an intron within the 5 RNA leader and an intron which splits a glycine codon at position 152 in all plant actin genes and all vertebrate muscle actin genes suggests that these structures may have been conserved due to a functional role in actin expression. The 5 regions of these two soybean actin genes contain many unusual features including (CT) repeats and long stretches of pyrimidine-rich DNA. The possible roles of the upstream exon/intron and the C + T-rich regions are discussed. 相似文献

For the detection of polymorphisms within the 5-flanking region of the -lactoglobulin (-LG) -encoding gene a nucleotide sequence containing 795 bp of the promoter and 59 bp of exon I was cloned and sequenced. After comparing the sequence from the DNA of 11 diverse cows (different breeds and milk-protein yields), 14 singlebp substitutions were identified within the 5-flanking region and two in the 5-untranslated region (5-UTR) of exon I. Some of the variants are located in potential binding sites for trans-acting factors or in the 5-UTR. A PCR-based RFLP analysis was performed, and the genotypes of an additional 60 cows were identified at five variable 5-flanking sites. The results reveal three frequent combinations between the A and B alleles of the protein-coding region and the novel 5-flanking DNA variants. This finding may explain the differences of the protein-variant-dependent -LG synthesis (A>B) observed in vivo. A sequence comparison of the bovine and ovine promoters reveals an homology of 92.8% and shows a higher degree of conservation between positions -600 and -300. 相似文献

Summary Evaporation of a solution of thymidine plus either theexo or theendo diastereomer of uridine cyclic 2,3-O, O-phosphorothioate (U > p(S) in 1,2-diaminoethane hydrochloride buffer gave the 2,5 and 3,5 isomers of (P-thio) uridylylthymidine (Up(S)dT) in a ratio of 1:2 with a combined yield of about 20%. These isomers were re-converted to U > p(S) and dT by a reaction that is known to proceed by an in-line mechanism. Both the 2,5 and 3,5 isomers gave as product the same diastereomer of U > p(S) that had been used originally in their formation. These dry-state prebiotic reactions (Verlander, Lohrmann, and Orgel 1973) are thus shown to be stereospecific, and both the 2,5 and 3,5 internucleotide bonds are formed by an in-line mechanism.Abbreviations DAE

Summary The self-condensation of 2(3)-O-glycyl esters of adenosine, adenosine-5-(O-methylphosphate) and P1, P2-diadenosine-5-pyrophosphate in 6.2 mM solutions at pH 8.0 and -5°C in the presence of 12.5 mM poly(U) yields approximately 3 times as much diketopiperazine as reactions without poly(U). As the concentration of 2(3)-O-(glycyl)-P1, P2-diadenosine-5-pyrophosphate is decreased from 6.2 mM to 1.5 mM the yield of diketopiperazine in the presence of poly(U) decreases slightly from 6.6% to 5.2%, whereas, in the absence of poly(U) the yield of diketopiperazine decreases substantially from 2.4% to 0.75%. The enhanced yield of diketopiperazine that is attributed to the template action of poly(U) is temperature dependent and is observed only at temperatures below 10°C (5°C to -5°C) for 6.2 mM 2(3)-O-(glycyl)-adenosine-5-(O-methylphosphate) and below 23°C (15°C to -5°C) for 6.2 mM 2(3)-O-(glycyl)-P1, P2-diadenosine-5-pyrophosphate. The absence of a template effect at high temperatures is attributed to the melting of the organized helices. The hydrolysis half-lives at pH 8.0 and -5°C of 2(3)-O-(glycyl)-adenosine, 2(3)-O-(glycyl)-adenosine-5-(O-methylphosphate), 2(3)-O-(glycyl)-P1, P2-diadenosine-5-pyrophosphate, and 5-O-(glycyl)-adenosine in the presence of poly(U) are substantially larger than their half-lives in the absence of poly(U). The condensation of 2(3)-O-(glycyl)-adenosine yields 5% of 5-O-(glycyl)-adenosine in the presence of poly(U) compared to 0.7% in the absence of poly(U).Abbreviations DKP

Summary Two histone H3 genes have been cloned from a gtWES.B corn genomic library. The nucleotide sequences show 96% homology and both encode the same protein, which differs from its counterpart in wheat and pea by one amino acid substitution. The 5-flanking regions of the two corn H3 genes contain the classical histone-gene-specific consensus sequences and possess several regions of extensive nucleotide homology. A conserved octanucleotide 5-CGCGGATC-3 occurs at approximately 200 nucleotides upstream from the initiation ATG codon. This octanucleotide was found to exist in all of the 7 plant histone genes sequenced so far. Codon usage is characterized by a very high frequency of C (67%) and G (28%) at the third position of the codons, those ending by A (1%) and T (4%) being practically excluded.Comparison of Southern blots of EcoRI, EcoRV and BamHI digested genomic DNA suggests that the corn H3 and H4 genes are not closely associated. The H3 genes exist as 60 to 80 copies and the H4 genes as 100 to 120 copies per diploid genome. re]19851002 rv]19851212 ac]19851216 相似文献

Summary We have studied the reactions between adenosine 5-phosphorimidazolide and 9-(2-amino-2-deoxyxylofuranosyl) adenine (I) or 3-methylamino-3-deoxyadenosine (II), both with and without a poly (U) template. We find that both amino compounds react much more rapidly than does adenosine, in the absence of a template. The rate of reaction is greatly enhanced by a poly (U) template in the case of I, but the enhancement is slight in the case of II.Abbreviations A

Summary To investigate the evolution of globin genes in the genusXenopus, we have determined the primary structure of the related adult 1- and II genes ofX. laevis and of the adult -globin gene ofX. tropicalis, including their 5-flanking regions. All three genes are comprised of three exons and two introns at homologous positions. The exons are highly conserved and code for 141 amino acids. By contrast, the corresponding introns vary in length and show considerable divergence. Comparison of 900 bp of the 5-flanking region revealed that theX. tropicalis gene contains a conserved proximal 310-bp promoter sequence, comprised of the canonical TATA and CCAAT motifs at homologous positions, and five conserved elements in the same order and at similar positions as previously shown for the corresponding genes ofX. laevis. We therefore conclude that these conserved upstream elements may represent regulatory sequences for cell-specific regulation of the adultXenopus globin genes. 相似文献

The genomic clone encoding the pistil-specific thaumatin/PR5-like protein (PsTL1) was isolated from Japanese pear (Pyrus serotina). Sequence analysis showed that the genomic clone contained the 5-flanking sequence of 2.4 kb, the 3-flanking sequence of 648 bp and the coding region interrupted by a intron of 351 bp. A sequence motif conserved in some pistil self-incompatibility gene promoters of solanaceous and brassicaceous species was located in the 5-flanking region of the PsTL1 gene. The 2.4 kb 5-flanking region was fused to the GUS coding sequence and transferred to tobacco. Transgenic tobacco showed GUS activity in pistil and, at low level, in anther, but not in other floral organs and leaf. Histochemical analysis localized GUS activity to stigma, transmitting tissue, anther and pollen of transgenic tobacco. 相似文献

The subject RNA models the binding site for the coat protein of the R17 virus, as well as the ribosome recognition sequence for the R17 replicase gene. With an RNA of this size, overlaps among the sugar protons complicate assignments of the 1H NMR spectrum. The cross peaks that overlap significantly in 2D-NOE spectra can frequently be resolved by introducing a third, in our approach the double-quantum, frequency axis. In particular the planes in a 3D-NOE/2QC spectrum perpendicular to the 2Q axis are extremely useful, showing a highly informative repeating NOE-2Q pattern. In this experiment substantial J-coupling confers special advantages. This always occurs for geminal pairs (H5/H5 for RNA plus H2/H2 for DNA), as well as for H5/H6, for H3/H4 in sugars with substantial populations of the N-pucker, for H1/H2 for S-puckered sugars, and usually for H2/H3. For the 24-mer RNA hairpin the additional information from the 3D-NOE/2QC spectrum allowed assignment of all of the non-exchangeable protons, eliminating the need for stable-isotope labeling. 相似文献

The six binary montmorillonite clay-catalyzed reactions of the5-phosphorimidazolides of adenosine, cytidine, guanosine anduridine were performed and the eight dimers from each reactionwere separated and analyzed by HPLC. A 16–51-fold higher yieldof the 5-purine-pyrimidine dimers over that of the5-pyrimidine-purines was observed. The total yield of the5-purine-pyrimidine dimers was in the 50–70% range while thatof the 5-pyrimidine-purine dimers was 1.3–7.0%. Less sequenceselectivity was observed in the homodimers formed.Regioselectivity for the formation of 3, 5-phosphodiesterbonds over that found in the absence of clay was observed. The5-purine-pyrimidine, 5-pyrimidine-pyrimidine and5-purine-purine dimers had 3, 5-links in about half of theirphosphodiester bonds. The percent phosphodiester links in the5-pyrimidine-pyrimidine dimers was 18%, a value close to thatobserved in the absence of the montmorillonite catalyst. Themontmorillonite-catalyzed reaction of all four activatednucleotides was performed and the 24 products were separated andanalyzed. The trends observed in the binary reactions wereconfirmed and the results also showed that the relativereactivity of the activated monomers was A>G>C>U in theratio 8.2: 4.8: 1.3: 1 respectively. No 5-pyrimidine-purineswith a 5-U and pG3pU, pC3pAand pC3pG weredetected. These studies suggest that a limited population ofRNAs would have formed in catalyzed prebiotic reactions. 相似文献

Summary Cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase in the basal-lateral segment of plasma membranes from proximal tubule cells of the rabbit renal cortex was studied and compared to that in the brush border segment of the plasma membrane. Both adenosine 3,5-monophosphate and guanosine 3,5-monophosphate were hydrolyzed by the basal-lateral membrane, but activity varied differently with the two substrates in a complex concentration-dependent manner. Activity with adenosine 3,5-monophosphate was greater than, equal to, or less than with guanosine 3,5-monophosphate, at concentrations of 1000, 100, and 10 to 1 m, respectively. Basal-lateral membrane phosphodiesterase activities at 1 and 500 m substrate exhibited differential responses to pH, metals, heat, and a heat stable inhibitor. Stimulation by guanosine 3,5-monophosphate and inosine 3,5-monophosphate of adenosine 3,5-monophosphate hydrolysis was found in basal-lateral but not in brush border membranes. This stimulation was potentiated by ethyleneglycol-bis(-aminoethyl ether)N,N-tetraacetic acid and ethylenediaminetetraacetate, inhibited by Triton X-100, and totally blocked by Zn2+. The findings indicate that multiple forms of phosphodiesterase are present in the basal-lateral segment and these differ from the activities in the brush border region of the plasma membrane. The characteristics of (i) allosteric, guanosine 3,5-monophosphate-sensitivity of adensoine 3,5-monophosphate phosphodiesterase, and (ii) relatively high guanosine 3,5-monophosphate phosphodiesterase activity, in basal-lateral membranes, which are also enriched in adenylate and guanylate cyclase, suggest an important physiological role for these phosphodiesterases in the regulation of net production of cyclic nucleotides in the renal cortex. 相似文献
