Purified preparations of the tRNA methylase deficient in supK strains of Salmonella typhimurium transfer methyl groups from S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) to at least two tRNA species, an alanine tRNA and a serine tRNA. The identity of the tRNA substrates for this enzyme was determined by a change in the elution position of the methyl-labeled tRNA from BND-cellulose columns before and after aminoacylation with a specific amino acid followed by derivatization of the free primary amino group with phenoxy- or naphthoxyacetate. The radioactive methyl group enzymatically added to these tRNAs is both acid and base labile and can be hydrolyzed to a volatile product at pHs above 7.5 and also at pH 1. The methylated 3'-nucleotide isolated from digested tRNA is a pyrimidine derivative and chromatographs like a modified uridylic acid. Its identity has not been established, but it is likely that it corresponds to the methyl ester of V, uridin-5-oxyacetic acid. 相似文献

A tRNA methylase, in which supK strains of Salmonella typhimurium are deficient, was purified from strain LT2 and characterized. Column chromatography of protein extracts from wild-type cells on phosphocellulose, diethylaminoethyl-Sephadex A-50, and hydroxlapatite resulted in an enzyme that was estimated to be about 50% pure. tRNA from S. typhimurium which had been incubated at pH 9.0 served as a substrate for this methylase. The enzyme has a molecular weight of about 50,000 as estimated by gel chromatography and by electrophoresis on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels. The optimal assay conditions, as well as the kinetics and stability of the enzyme, were studied. As with other tRNA-methylating enzymes, S-adenosylhomocysteine is a potent inhibitor. 相似文献

Rhodobacter sphaeroides grown in the presence of nicotinamide excreted bacteriochlorophyll precursors, 2,4-divinyl protochlorophyllide (DV-Pchlide) and a small amount of 2-monovinyl protochlorophyllide (MV-Pchlide). Accumulation of these pigments indicates that nicotinamide inhibited the bacteriochlorophyll biosynthetic pathway site-specifically between DV-Pchlide and MV-Pchlide. This phenomenon is also observed in an aerobic photosynthetic bacterium, Erythrobacter sp. OCh 114. Among 12 nicotinamide derivatives and isomers tested, only nicotinamide was effective, indicating that in addition to the completeness of the pyridine ring skeleton at positions 1 to 3, the carboxylic acid amide group is essential for this inhibition. The technique described in this report permits the simple preparation of large quantities of DV-Pchlide. 相似文献

DNA methylase from rat liver was partially purified through a DEAE sephacel column and characterized in an in vitro assay with respect to time, protein, DNA and S-adenosylmethionine curves. The Km for S-adenosylmethionine was 2.5 microM. Sodium selenium inhibited the methylation of DNA in a dose dependent fashion when added to the assay. It was also demonstrated that selenite non-competitively inhibits rat-liver DNA methylase with a Ki of 6.7 microM. Dithiothreitol had no effect on selenite inhibition and increasing amounts of DNA did not alter the inhibition. However, increasing amounts of protein overcame the inhibition, suggesting that selenite is reacting with the DNA methylase protein. DNA methylase isolated from selenite treated animals had only 43% of the activity as enzyme from control rats. It appears that selenite is a good inhibitor of DNA methylase. 相似文献

Modification of Saccharomyces cerevisiae tRNA anticodons at the wobble uridine (U34) position is required for tRNA cleavage by the zymocin tRNase killer toxin from Kluyveromyces lactis . Hence, U34 modification defects including lack of the U34 tRNA methyltransferase Trm9 protect against tRNA cleavage and zymocin. Using zymocin as a tool, we have identified toxin-resistant mutations in TRM9 that are likely to affect the U34 methylation reaction. Most strikingly, C-terminal truncations in Trm9 abolish interaction with Trm112, a protein shown to individually purify with Lys9 and two more methylases, Trm11 and Mtq2. Downregulation of a GAL1-TRM112 allele protects against zymocin whereas LYS9 , TRM11 and MTQ2 are dosage suppressors of zymocin. Based on immune precipitation studies, the latter scenario correlates with competition for Trm112 and in excess, some of these Trm112 partners interfere with formation of the toxin-relevant Trm9·Trm112 complex. In contrast to trm11 Δ or lys9 Δ cells, trm112 Δ and mtq2 Δ null mutants are zymocin resistant. In line with the identified role that methylation of Sup45 by Mtq2 has for translation termination by the release factor dimer Sup45·Sup35, we observe that SUP45 overexpression and sup45 mutants suppress zymocin. Intriguingly, this suppression correlates with upregulated levels of tRNA species targeted by zymocin's tRNase activity. 相似文献

Nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT) has been linked to obesity and diabetes. We have identified a novel nicotinamide (NA) analog, compound 12 that inhibited NNMT enzymatic activity and reduced the formation of 1-methyl-nicotinamide (MNA), the primary metabolite of NA by ~80% at 2?h when dosed in mice orally at 50?mg/kg. 相似文献

A substrate for protein kinase B (PKB)alpha in HeLa cell extracts was identified as methyltransferase-like protein-1 (METTL1), the orthologue of trm8, which catalyses the 7-methylguanosine modification of tRNA in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. PKB and ribosomal S6 kinase (RSK) both phosphorylated METTL1 at Ser27 in vitro. Ser27 became phosphorylated when HEK293 cells were stimulated with insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and this was prevented by inhibition of phosphatidyinositol 3-kinase. The IGF-1-induced Ser27 phosphorylation did not occur in 3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase-1 (PDK1)-deficient embryonic stem cells, but occurred normally in PDK1[L155E] cells, indicating that the effect of IGF-1 is mediated by PKB. METTL1 also became phosphorylated at Ser27 in response to phorbol-12-myristate 13-acetate and this was prevented by PD 184352 or pharmacological inhibition of RSK. Phosphorylation of METTL1 by PKB or RSK inactivated METTL1 in vitro, as did mutation of Ser27 to Asp or Glu. Expression of METTL1[S27D] or METTL1[S27E] did not rescue the growth phenotype of yeast lacking trm8. In contrast, expression of METTL1 or METTL1[S27A] partially rescued growth. These results demonstrate that METTL1 is inactivated by PKB and RSK in cells, and the potential implications of this finding are discussed. 相似文献

Transfer RNA methylase activity and capacity were measured in relation to the acute effects of aflatoxin B1 on rat liver. Dose-independent methylase activity was elevated approx. 40% within 3 days after dosing, and gradually declined towards control values over a 3-week period. Transfer RNA methylase capacity, in contrast, exhibited a linear dose-response relationship with values elevated as much as 100% over control levels. 相似文献

5-Fluorocytosine in DNA is a mechanism-based inhibitor of HhaI methylase 总被引:14,自引:0,他引:14
5-Fluorodeoxycytidine (FdCyd) was incorporated into a synthetic DNA polymer containing the GCGC recognition sequence of HhaI methylase to give a polymer with about 80% FdCyd. In the absence of AdoMet, poly(FdC-dG) bound competitively with respect to poly(dG-dC) (Ki = 3 nM). In the presence of AdoMet, the analogue caused a time-dependent, first-order (k = 0.05 min-1) inactivation of the enzyme. There is an ordered mechanism of binding in which enzyme first binds to poly(FdC-dG), then binds to AdoMet, and subsequently forms stable, inactive complexes. The complexes did not dissociate over the course of 3 days and were stable to heat (95 degrees C) in the presence of 1% SDS. Gel filtration of a complex formed with HhaI methylase, poly(FdC-dG), and [methyl-3H] AdoMet gave a peak of radioactivity eluting near the void volume. Digestion of the DNA in the complex resulted in a reduction of the molecular weight to the size of the methylase, and the radioactivity in this peak was shown to be associated with protein. These data indicate that the complexes contain covalently bound HhaI methylase, poly(FdC-dG), and methyl groups and that 5-fluorodeoxycytidine is a mechanism-based inactivator of the methylase. By analogy with other pyrimidine-modifying enzymes and recent studies on the mechanism of HhaI methylase (Wu & Santi, 1987), these results suggest that an enzyme nucleophile attacks FdCyd residues at C-6, activating the 5-position for one-carbon transfer.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Twenty two analogues of SB-203207 have been prepared by total synthesis, and evaluated as inhibitors of a range of tRNA synthetases. Changes to the bicyclic core, removing either the terminal amino substituent or the sulfonyl group from the side chain, and altering either the carbon skeleton or stereochemistry of the isoleucine residue, decreases the potency of inhibition of isoleucyl tRNA synthetase. Substituting the isoleucine residue with other amino acids produces inhibitors of the corresponding synthetases. In particular, a methionine derivative is 50-100 times more potent against methionyl tRNA synthetase than against any of the corresponding isoleucyl, leucyl, valyl, alanyl and prolyl synthetases. 相似文献

Recently, nicotinamide (1) and nicotinamide analogs (2) have been shown to inhibit tRNA methylation in vitro, and a competitive or “mixed type” inhibition has been postulated (1,2). In our preceeding paper we could exclude these inhibition mechanisms (3). 相似文献
