Proteomic analysis of the venom of the social wasp Apoica pallens (Hymenoptera: Vespidae)

Wasps are a diverse group of insects that possess a sting apparatus associated with a venom gland, which is used for predation and colony defense. The biochemistry of Hymenoptera venom has been evaluated in relation to allergy and immunology, and proteomics has been shown to be a powerful tool for the identification of compounds with pharmacological potential. Data on wasps venom the of genus Apoica are scarce, so the objective of the present work was to identify the venom proteins of the eusocial wasp Apoica pallens, as a first step towards further investigation of applied uses of the venom and its protein constituents. The venom proteins were separated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, followed by MALDI-TOF/TOF mass spectrometry. A total of 259 spots were detected, with molecular weights from 4.9 to 141 kDa. Thirty of these proteins were identified and classified into eight functional categories: allergen, enzyme, metabolism, structural, environmental response, proteoglycan, active in DNA and RNA, and unknown function. Due to the few available proteomic data for wasp venom, many proteins could not be identified, which makes studies with proteomic analysis of Hymenoptera venom even more important.     

Characterization of ribonucleic acids from the venom glands of Crotalus durissus terrificus (Ophidia, Reptilia) after manual extraction of the venom. Studies on template activity and base composition

RNA synthesis in the venom glands of Crotalus durissus terrificus was stimulated by the manual extraction of the venom (milking). RNA was extracted from venom glands activated by milking and fractionated by centrifugation through sucrose density gradients. Template activity for protein synthesis and base composition of the RNA fractions were studied. RNA fractions that sediment between 18S and 4S had the highest template activity. The base composition analysis indicated that the 28S and 18S rRNA have a C+G content of 65.4 and 58% respectively. The ;melting' temperature (T(m)) of DNA in 0.15m-NaCl-0.015m-trisodium citrate, pH7.0, was 85 degrees C, corresponding to a C+G content of 38%. The base ratio of the RNA fractions that showed a high template activity was intermediate between that of rRNA and homologous DNA. The possible role of these fractions in the synthesis of the two main toxins (crotoxin and crotamine) of the South American rattlesnake's venom is discussed.     

Detection of sickle-cell mutation by electrophoresis of partial RNA:DNA hybrids following solution hybridization

We have developed a method in which partially single-stranded (ss) DNA molecules containing a defined region of duplex RNA:DNA are electrophoretically separated in agarose gels. The partial hybrids are formed by solution hybridization with a uniform length RNA probe complementary to part of the DNA sequence of interest. Following hybridization, the RNA/DNA mixture is fractionated by agarose gel electrophoresis at high temperature to minimize intrastrand base pairing which causes mobility heterogeneity. Not requiring the steps of DNA transfer from the gel to a solid support and subsequent probing, pre-electrophoretic hybridization allows the direct identification of single-copy fragments. Conditions for the detection of single-copy genes in human DNA digested with specific restriction endonucleases were developed and applied to the diagnosis of sickle-cell disease. This method should be applicable for the analysis of DNAs of high complexity where the presence of DNA polymorphisms and interspersed repeated DNA sequences often make impossible the creation of complete RNA:DNA hybrids.     

Poly-ADP-ribosylated histones: potent DNA suppressors

When rat liver nuclear chromatin was sonicated in buffer containing 0.35 M (NH₄)SO₄ to release the engaged RNA polymerases, a potent inhibitor was also released. This inhibitor elicited dramatic inhibition of RNA synthesis regardless of whether the free or engaged RNA polymerase was used. On further analysis, it became apparent that the site of inhibition was on the DNA template, not on the enzyme. This inhibitor could be extracted into 0.25 N HCl by the standard procedure for the isolation of histones. This acid-soluble inhibitor, showing typical histone band on gel, was RNase A and DNase I resistant, but was sensitive to both pronase and snake venom phosphodiesterase digestion, as well as to 0.1 N KOH hydrolysis. Furthermore, when [¹⁴C]adenine labeled poly-ADP-ribosylated histones were digested by snake venom phosphodiesterase, the release of radioactivity was in parallel to the loss of inhibitor activity. We conclude that the inhibitor substances are poly-ADP-ribosylated histones and propose that the poly-ADP-ribosylated histones rather than the histones are the natural suppressors of the gene.     

One-hour downward alkaline capillary transfer for blotting of DNA and RNA.

The downward alkaline capillary transfer of DNA and RNA from agarose gel to a hybridization membrane was performed using a transfer solution containing 3 M NaCl and 8 mM NaOH. Under mild alkaline conditions, DNA and RNA were completely eluted from the agarose gel and bound to a hybridization membrane within 1 h. On the basis of this new method of transfer a blotting protocol, downward alkaline blotting, was elaborated. It provides a fast and efficient alternative to commonly used Southern and Northern blotting protocols. The downward alkaline blotting of DNA and RNA can be completed in 2.5 and 1.5 h, respectively, and can be used with both plastic and nitrocellulose membranes. In addition, the downward alkaline blotting protocol allows for a hybridization efficiency of DNA and RNA higher than that of the standard blotting protocols performed at neutral pH.     

Immunochemical detection of multiple conformations within a 36 base pair oligonucleotide.

A 36 base pair chimeric oligonucleotide containing a central core of DNA duplex flanked by RNA/DNA hybrid at each end was synthesized. These distinct regions of the oligonucleotide adopt different conformations which were detected with antibody probes. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) and a gel electrophoresis retardation assay were used to demonstrate the binding of antibodies which recognize B-DNA, Z-DNA and RNA/DNA hybrid. The DNA duplex core of this oligonucleotide adopts the B-conformation in 0.14 M NaCl. In high salt solution (4 M NaCl) the DNA core adopts the Z-conformation. The RNA/DNA hybrid at the ends of the oligomer adopt a conformation which is distinct from both B-DNA and A-RNA.

Comparison of the electrophoretic and hydrodynamic properties of DNA and RNA oligonucleotide duplexes.

The electrophoretic behavior of defined DNA and RNA oligonucleotide duplexes from 10 to 20 bp in length has been investigated as a function of salt conditions, gel concentration, and temperature. The RNA oligomers migrated much more slowly than the DNA oligomers of the same sequence under all conditions. From sedimentation equilibrium and velocity measurements, the apparent partial specific volume in 0.1 M KCI, 20 mM NaPi, pH 7, was determined as 0.56 +/- 0.015 ml g(-1) for DNA and 0.508 ml g(-1) for RNA. The translational friction coefficients were determined and compared with the values calculated for cylinders. Taking into account the shape factors, the solution density, and partial specific volumes, the effective degree of hydration was estimated as 0.8-1 g g(-1) DNA. There was no significant difference in the frictional coefficients of the DNA and RNA oligomers, indicating that the effective sizes of DNA and RNA are very similar in solution. The differential electrophoretic mobility of DNA and RNA must arise from the differences in interaction with counterions, which is probably a global property of the oligonucleotides.
