Metazoan replication-dependent histone mRNAs are only present in S-phase, due partly to changes in their stability. These mRNAs end in a unique stem–loop (SL) that is required for both translation and cell-cycle regulation. Previous studies showed that histone mRNA degradation occurs through both 5′→3′ and 3′→5′ processes, but the relative contributions are not known. The 3′ end of histone mRNA is oligouridylated during its degradation, although it is not known whether this is an essential step. We introduced firefly luciferase reporter mRNAs containing the histone 3′ UTR SL (Luc-SL) and either a normal or hDcp2-resistant cap into S-phase HeLa cells. Both mRNAs were translated, and translation initially protected the mRNAs from degradation, but there was a lag of ∼40 min with the uncleavable cap compared to ∼8 min for the normal cap before rapid decay. Knockdown of hDcp2 resulted in a similar longer lag for Luc-SL containing a normal cap, indicating that 5′→3′ decay is important in this system. Inhibition of DNA replication with hydroxyurea accelerated the degradation of Luc-SL. Knockdown of terminal uridyltransferase (TUTase) 4 but not TUTase 3 slowed the decay process, but TUTase 4 knockdown had no effect on destabilization of the mRNA by hydroxyurea. Both Luc-SL and its 5′ decay intermediates were oligouridylated. Preventing oligouridylation by 3′-deoxyadenosine (cordycepin) addition to the mRNA slowed degradation, in the presence or absence of hydroxyurea, suggesting oligouridylation initiates degradation. The spectrum of oligouridylated fragments suggests the 3′→5′ degradation machinery stalls during initial degradation, whereupon reuridylation occurs. 相似文献

Recent reports suggest that the ribosome retains considerable peptidyl transferase activity even when much of the protein of the ribosome is removed and further suggests that rRNA may be the peptidyl transferase. The work here suggests that the AMP residue at the 3 terminus of each tRNA has some catalytic activity both in the esterification reaction and in forming a pseudopeptide, AcGly, and further suggests that whatever peptidyl transferase is, it finds a cooperative substrate in the aminoacyl-AMP at the 3 terminus of tRNA. 相似文献

Protein–protein interactions play an essential role in the regulation of most cellular processes. The process of viral infection
is no exception and many viral pathogenic strategies involve targeting and perturbing host–protein interactions. The characterization
of the host protein subnetworks disturbed by invading viruses is a major goal of viral research and may contribute to reveal
fundamental biological mechanisms and to identify new therapeutic strategies. To assist in this approach, we have developed
a database, VirusMINT, which stores in a structured format most of the published interactions between viral and host proteome.
Although SH3 are the most ubiquitous and abundant class of protein binding modules, VirusMINT contains only a few interactions
mediated by this domain class. To overcome this limitation, we have applied the whole interactome scanning experiment approach
to identify interactions between 15 human SH3 domains and viral proline-rich peptides of two oncogenic viruses, human papillomavirus
type 16 and human adenovirus A type 12. This approach identifies 114 new potential interactions between the human SH3 domains
and proline-rich regions of the two viral proteomes. 相似文献

The conformation of the α3 helix of Cro protein (residues 27–36) of bacteriophageλ is optimised by the damped least square minimization technique, with the steric constraint that Cα atom positions should
match the crystallographic data available to date. On the basis of minimization of total interaction and conformation energy,
models for complexes of this peptide sequence with heptanucleotide duplexes from native and altered OR3 operator are obtained in the major groove of B DNA. Analysis of the energetics for 3 sequences of the DNA show that binding
strength is derived mainly from the interaction of side chains of the peptide with DNA. Sequence specificity (maximum difference
in binding energy for different DNA sequences) is due to hydrogen bonding interaction. A small amount of sequence specificity
is derived from non-bonded interaction also. Stereochemical aspects of peptide DNA interaction and their role in DNA recognition
are discussed in this paper. 相似文献

An informative polymorphism detectable by polymerase chain reaction at the 3′ end of the dystrophin gene 总被引:10,自引:3,他引:10
Summary A fragment that contains a (CA)n sequence from the 3 untranslated region of the dystrophin gene can be amplified by the polymerase chain reaction and shows length polymorphism in a Caucasian population. The two common alleles differ by 4bp. This new genetic marker has a heterozygosity of about 35% and is typed more rapidly than a conventional restriction fragment length polymorphism. Its localisation at the 3 end of the dystrophin gene makes it a useful tool for diagnostic applications in families with Duchenne/ Becker muscular dystrophy, and for the analysis of intragenic recombination. 相似文献

A method is presented that facilitates the identification of cDNA clones corresponding to the polyadenylated 3′ end of mRNA. It is based on the use of a poly dT probe that is synthesized by homopolymer extension of commercially available oligo dT. The method is shown to work in Southern blot analysis of plasmid preparations and in situ with colonies. 相似文献

A sequential assignment procedure based on two-dimensional Nuclear Overhauser Effect (NOESY) and scalar coupling correlated (COSY) NMR spectroscopy, together with the knowledge of the oligodesoxynucleotide sequence, made it possible to assign the non-exhangeable base protons and the H1 and the H2-H2 sugar protons of the O

Telomeric repeat-containing RNA (TERRA) has been suggested to participate in telomere maintenance. TERRA consisting of UUAGGG repeats is capable of forming an intermolecular G-quadruplex (GQ) with single-stranded TTAGGG-repeat DNA in the telomere 3′ overhang. To explore the structural features and potential functions of this DNA-RNA hybrid GQ (HGQ), we used single-molecule FRET to study the folding patterns of DNA with four to seven telomeric tandem repeats annealed with a short RNA consisting of two or five telomeric repeats. Our data highlight that RNA prefers to form DNA-RNA HGQ near the 3′ end of telomeric DNA. Furthermore, the unfolding of secondary structures by a complementary C-rich sequence was observed for DNA GQ but not for DNA-RNA HGQ, which demonstrated the enhanced stability of the telomere 3′ end via hybridization with RNA. These conformational and physical properties of telomeric DNA-RNA HGQ suggest that TERRA might limit access to the 3′ end of the telomeric DNA overhang, which is known to be critical for the interaction with telomerase and other telomere-associated proteins. 相似文献

Metazoan replication-dependent histone mRNAs are the only known eukaryotic mRNAs that lack a poly(A) tail, ending instead in a conserved stem–loop sequence, which is bound to the stem–loop binding protein (SLBP) on the histone mRNP. Histone mRNAs are rapidly degraded when DNA synthesis is inhibited in S phase in mammalian cells. Rapid degradation of histone mRNAs is initiated by oligouridylation of the 3′ end of histone mRNAs and requires the cytoplasmic Lsm1-7 complex, which can bind to the oligo(U) tail. An exonuclease, 3′hExo, forms a ternary complex with SLBP and the stem–loop and is required for the initiation of histone mRNA degradation. The Lsm1-7 complex is also involved in degradation of polyadenylated mRNAs. It binds to the oligo(A) tail remaining after deadenylation, inhibiting translation and recruiting the enzymes required for decapping. Whether the Lsm1-7 complex interacts directly with other components of the mRNP is not known. We report here that the C-terminal extension of Lsm4 interacts directly with the histone mRNP, contacting both SLBP and 3′hExo. Mutants in the C-terminal tail of Lsm4 that prevent SLBP and 3′hExo binding reduce the rate of histone mRNA degradation when DNA synthesis is inhibited. 相似文献

Summary Interaction of the RecA protein with single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) was analyzed by challenge with the hydroxyl radical, which can cleave the DNA backbone. We found that RecA protein induces cleavage by the radical at a defined distance from the 5 end. The cleavage was at the 11th nucleotide in many oligodeoxynucleotides. Cleavage may be intermittent since a second cleavage was induced at the 22nd or 21st site. This specific cleavage was observed under optimal conditions for filament formation, homologous pairing and strand exchange. Specificity in cleavage was, however, decreased by replacement of ATP by adenosine 5-(-thio)triphosphate (ATPS), replacement of RecA protein by a mutant (RecAl) protein, or an increase in Mg2– concentration. We propose that RecA protein induces a special structural alteration, such as bending, perhaps sequentially, on ssDNA and that this altered site plays an important role in homologous pairing and strand exchange.Abbreviations ssDNA

The belief that initiation of translation requires communication between the 5' and 3' ends of the mRNA guides--or misguides--the interpretation of many experiments. The closed-loop model for initiation creates the expectation that sequences at the 3' end of eukaryotic mRNAs should regulate translation. This review looks closely at the evidence in three prominent cases where such regulation is claimed. The mRNAs in question encode 15-lipoxygenase, ceruloplasmin, and histones. Vertebrate histone mRNAs lack a poly(A) tail, instead of which a 3' stem-loop structure is said to promote translation by binding a protein which purportedly binds initiation factors. The proffered evidence for this hypothesis has many flaws. Temporal control of 15-lipoxygenase production in reticulocytes is often cited as another well-documented example of translational regulation via the 3' untranslated region, but inspection of the evidence reveals significant gaps and contradictions. Solid evidence is lacking also for the idea that a ribosomal protein binds to and shuts off translation of ceruloplasmin mRNA. Some viral RNAs that lack a poly(A) tail have alternative 3' structures which are said to promote translation via circularization of the mRNA, but in no case has this been shown convincingly. Interpretation of many experiments is compromised by possible effects of the 3' structures on mRNA stability rather than translation. The functional-half-life assay, which is often employed to rule out effects on mRNA stability, might not be adequate to settle the question. Other issues, such as the possibility of artifacts caused by overexpression of RNA-binding proteins, can complicate studies of translational regulation. There is no doubt that elements at the 3' end of eukaryotic mRNAs can regulate gene expression in a variety of ways. It has not been shown unequivocally that one of these ways involves direct participation of the 3' untranslated region in the initiation step of translation. 相似文献
