The translational system was isolated from the gills of the Antarctic scallop Adamussium colbecki (Smith) and the European scallop Aequipecten opercularis (Linnaeus) for in vitro protein synthesis capacities (g protein mg FW–1 day–1) and the translational capacities of RNA (kRNA in vitro mg protein mg RNA–1 day–1). In vitro protein synthesis capacity in the cold-adapted pectinid at 0 °C was similar to the one found in the temperate scallop at 25 °C. These findings might reflect cold compensated rates in Adamussium colbecki, partly explainable by high tissue levels of RNA. Cold-compensated in vitro protein synthesis capacities may further result from increments in the translational capacity of RNA. The thermal sensitivity of the translation machinery was slightly different in the two species, with significantly lower levels of Arrhenius activation energies Ea and Q10 in Adamussium colbecki in the temperature range 0–15 °C. Reduced protein synthesis and translational capacities were found in vitro in gills of long-term aquarium-maintained Adamussium colbecki and were accounted for by a loss of protein synthesis machinery, i.e. a reduction in RNA levels, as well as a decrease in the amount of protein synthesized per milligram of RNA (RNA translational capacity, kRNA in vitro). Such changes may involve food uptake or mirror metabolic depression strategies, like those occurring during winter. Consequences of high in vitro RNA translational capacities found in the permanently cold-adapted species are discussed in the context of seasonal food availability and growth rates at high latitudes.Abbreviations DPM disintegrations per minute - DTT dithiothreitol - Ea Arrhenius activation energy - ks fractional protein synthesis rate - kRNA in vivo translational efficiency - kRNA in vitro translational capacity - PCA perchloric acid - Phe phenylalanine - PLA phospho-L-arginine - PSU practical salinity units - RNAse ribonuclease - TCA trichloroacetic acidCommunicated by G.

Isolated rat hepatocytes were used as an in vitro model to investigate A possible interaction between oxytetracycline (OXT) and aflatoxin B1 (AFB1). LDH leakage, RNA and protein synthesis and glycogen accumulation were measured in the presence of both drugs, either separately or in combination. The evolution of LDH leakage during the incubation was identical in untreated and treated cells. AFB1 inhibited RNA and protein synthesis at a concentration of 10–7 M and 10–6 M, respectively, and higher, whereas OXT did not influence RNA synthesis but inhibited protein synthesis at the highest tested concentration, 10–3 M. As far as glycogen is concerned, rats were injected with glucagon before sacrifice in order to obtain a constant synthesis rate in isolated hepatocytes. AFB1 inhibited the accumulation of glycogen from 10–6 M upward. This effect was never observed before 90 min of incubation. OXT had no effect on glycogen synthesis. In the presence of both drugs, no interaction was demonstrated as far as RNA and protein synthesis were concerned, but OXT opposed the inhibition induced by AFB1 on glycogen accumulation. If the in vivo protection, provided by OXT against AFBI-induced toxicity, is due to a direct interference in the toxic mechanisms of the mycotoxin, these results show that OXT does not influence the AFB1-inhibition of RNA and protein synthesis. The latter are early and sensitive parameters inhibited by AFB1. On the contrary, taking into consideration the results on glycogen accumulation, it seems more interesting to investigate further this metabolism.Abbreviations AFB1

Using 14CO2 as a labelled precursor the relationship between the initiation of protein and RNA synthesis, and water concentration, has been examined in cysts (encysted embryos) of the brine shrimp, Artemia salina. Although incorporation of radioactivity into amino acids and nucleotides occurred in cysts at hydrations as low as 0.3 g H2O/g dried cysts, incorporation into proteins and RNA was not measurable until the cysts had achieved a hydration in the range of 0.6–0.6 g/g. In no case was radioactivity detected in DNA of unemerged cysts. Fully hydrated cysts (about 1.3 g/g) that were actively synthesizing proteins and RNA, stopped doing so when dehydrated to levels below the same hydration range: thus, the hydration dependence does not involve appreciable hysteresis. The hydration range required to initiate synthesis of these macromolecules is essentially the same as that previously shown to initiate embryonic development. 相似文献

In order to examine radiation-induced proteins in an extremely radioresistant bacterium, Deinococcus radiodurans R
1, changes in cellular proteins after γ-irradiation were analysed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and silver staining. Nine proteins (190, 120, 87, 60, 58,
52, 46, 41 and 41 kDa) were increased (or appeared) and more than 13 proteins diminished after γ-irradiation at 6 kGy. Increase of eight proteins (except for 190-kDa protein) was prevented when the cells were irradiated
in the presence of chloramphenicol. Three proteins, 87, 60 and 46 kDa, continued to be synthesized during post-irradiation
incubation, and the amounts of these proteins increased with higher doses in a range of 1 – 12 kGy. Changes in the amount
of proteins after irradiation in the R
1 strain were compared with those in a moderately radioresistant mutant (rec 1) and in a highly radiosensitive mutant (rec30). These three proteins were increased in both R
1 and rec 1, but not in rec 30, suggesting that they are characteristic for radioresistant strains. In addition, from the microsequence analysis, the 46-kDa
protein was found to be homologous to the EF-Tu protein of Escherichia coli, whereas the remarkable homologous sequence to the N-terminal of the 60-kDa protein was not found among the known proteins.

The effect of lucanthone (miracil D), an inhibitor of RNA synthesis, plus X-irradiation on Drosophila melanogaster males Xc2yB/Ysc8y+ and on the subsequent production of chromosome loss via breakage has been investigated. Lucanthone feeding plus 495 R induced a significantly higher frequency of chromosome loss when irradiation was given in three equal fractionated doses at 3-h intervals than the same dose given acutely. On the other hand, the difference in frequency of non-disjunctional females was not significant. The enhancing effects of this chemical were found only in the fractionated series but were absent in acute X-irradiation series. This effect was found primarily in those cells in spermatid and spermatocyte stages at the time of irradiation. A pertinent point of interest presented was that not only protein synthesis but also RNA synthesis may play a significant role in the development of radiation damage and in postradiation repair processes at the chromosomal level, since inhibition of RNA synthesis may eventually inhibit protein synthesis. 相似文献

Intact and excised cultured pea roots (Pisum sativum L. cv Alaska) were treated with chlorsulfuron at concentrations ranging from 2.8 ×10–4 M to 2.8×10–6 M. At all concentrations this chemical was demonstrated to inhibit the progression of cells from G2 to mitosis (M) and secondarily from G1 to DNA synthesis (S). The S and M phases were not directly affected, but the transition steps into those phases were inhibited. Total protein synthesis was unaffected by treatment of intact roots with 2.8×10–6 M chlorsulfuron. RNA synthesis was inhibited by 43% over a 24-h treatment period. It is hypothesized that chlorsulfuron inhibits cell cycle progression by blocking the G2 and G1 transition points through inhibition of cell cycle specific RNA synthesis. 相似文献

The rates of intracellular RNA synthesis at various temperatures between 33 and 41 °C were determined in Chinese hamster lung fibroblasts by measuring average amounts of [3H]uridine incorporated per cell per unit of time. The energy of activation and Q20 for intracellular RNA synthesis were calculated from the slopes of the relative rates of RNA synthesis in hamster fibroblasts vs time, plotted on Arrhenius coordinates. The incorporation of uridine into RNA is characterized by an energy of activation of 19 200 calories/mole and a Q10 of 2.71. The absolute rates of RNA synthesis were determined at various temperatures, with values ranging from 1.55 to 0.60 × 10−15 g RNA/min/cell at 41 to 33 °C, respectively. 相似文献

Summary Inactivation of the dna B or dna D gene product in Bacillus subtilis stimulates RNA and protein synthesis. Strains containing ts dna B and D mutations have been constructed by introducing the mutations by transformation into a thymine requiring strain which does not lyse during thymine starvation. The consequences of inactivation of these gene products have been assessed by comparing RNA and protein synthesis during thymine starvation at the restrictive temperature with the recipient strain. In the ts
+ strain, there is a doubling in rate of RNA synthesis during thymine starvation. In the ts dna B and D mutations at the restrictive temperature the rate of RNA synthesis increases four fold. By preincubating the mutants in the absence of thymine for one generation at the permissive temperature the two fold increase in rate of RNA synthesis associated with inactivation of the initiation complex can be demonstrated under conditions where the ts
+ strain shows a decrease in rate of RNA synthesis. The rate of protein synthesis observed largely reflects the rate of RNA synthesis in all strains. Completion of the chromosome at the restictive temperature has no significant effect on the rate of RNA synthesis. It is suggested that inactivation of the initiation complex after chromosome initiation could play an important role in control of RNA synthesis in relation to the cell cycle. 相似文献

The effects of UV-B radiation generated in the laboratory and as a component of sunlight on the viability and particular biochemical activities of the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus have been examined. UV-B radiation progressively inhibits protein synthesis (assayed as 3H-alanine incorporation) and kills cells. Cell respiration, and RNA and DNA synthesis (3H-uridine and 3H-thymidine incorporation) were not greatly affected by UV-B irradiation. The OH and 1O2-free radical scavengers protected cells against killing and inhibition of protein synthesis by UV-B, suggesting that such radicals mediate the effects of UV-B on this organism. A similar protective effect using a ferric ion chelator suggests an important role for metallic ions in UV-B lethality.Abbreviations VIS, UV-A, UV-B, UV-C

Abstract Biosynthesis of acid indolauxins in young barley plants labelled with C14. Effects of irradiation on seeds. — With this preliminary research we wanted to begin the study of the setting-up of a system in order to mark young plants cultivated in several groups and kept under the same growth conditions. This apparatus has been utilized for the first time to study the irradiation effect of barley seeds on the biosynthesis of the acid indolderivates (PIA, BIA, IAA). The data in literature on the effect of radiations on the indolauxin-synthesis are barely uniform and we can summarize them so: Skoog (1935) has demonstrated that the auxin content of irradiated plants decreases already at very small doses; the results have been reached by the biological test and seem to be barely reproducible. Afterwards, Gordon (1957) has confirmed the Skoog's data about different species of plants remarking that also with small doses of radiations the quantity of free auxins decreases quickly soon after irradiation. Gordon has also utilized for his experiments the biological test. The author, supposing that the free auxins of plants were prevalently IAA, has irradiated IAA solutions: the results have pointed out that the molecule of this auxin is not particularly radiosensible. From these results Gordon concluded that in irradiate plants the decrease of IAA was not given to a direct action of irradiations of the molecule, but to a decrease of its biosyntesis. This assumption has also been maintained by Gordon on account of the results of a further experiment: giving triptophane to sprouts of irradiated seedlings of peas the author remarked a lessening of the IAA synthesis as the doses of irradiation increased. He demonstrated, by another experiment made on omogenates, that radiations caused a rent at the enzyme level which turnes the indolacetic aldeid into acid. On the other hand the data obtained by Gordon on the radiosensibility of IAA aqueous solutions are in opposition to the ones got by Skoog by experiments in vitro and by Cervigni and Belli (1962) which confirmed Skoog's data. These A.A. have demonstrated that the results obtained by Gordon are contestable on account of the analytical technique used. It is well known that seed irradiation causes an evident lessening of growth in young plants development. This phenomenon at least on one side might be connected with an alteration of the metabolic system, which causes the growth regulators synthesis, as the indolauxin. This experiment wants to bring a contribution to the study of this important problem. In this first experiment barley has been chosen because the irradiation of the seed at the employed doses. (7,5 and 15 Kr of X rays) does not causes a lessening of the germinability, while it does effect the growth. Young plants derived from irradiated seeds and from the control ones, on the seventh day from the sowing were put into contact with an atmosphere of C14O2 for 42 hoūrs. From the experimental data it has resulted that the synthesis of indolderivates acid in young plants originated from irradiated seeds does not decrease. On the contrary it seems that at least as far as the leaves are concerned there is a greater synthesis by increasing the irradiation dose. If these first results will be confirmed by further experiments, we can think that the lessening of growth caused by irradiation it does not depend on the decreased synthesis of the acid auxins group, as Gordon and others stated, but rather on the alteration of other regulator systems, strictly connected with the plant's development. It cannot also be excluded that the lessening of growth caused by irradiation, may be attributed to a less sensibility of the tissues to the acid indolauxins. 相似文献

The unfolding of B. subtilis 5S RNA is examined by direct calorimetric measurement in the presence of various concentrations of Na+ and Mg2+. The composite differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) curve is analyzed into 3–5 individual two-state melting transitions. In the absence of added Na+ or Mg2+, the 5S RNA segments melt together at Tm = 40°C. Addition of Na+ stabilizes the molecular structure (Tm = 56°C) and widens the melting temperature range, so that up to five component transitions are observed. Addition of Mg2+ alone produces a very stable structure (Tm = 75°C) with highly cooperative melting. Finally, addition of both Na+ and Mg2+ produces the highest stability (Tm = 76°C). The results are interpreted according to hypothetical secondary and tertiary base-pairing schemes. The conformational changes demonstrated here may facilitate the movement of the protein synthesis machinery during RNA translation. 相似文献

To obtain data on the biochemical effects of edeine in the fungus Neurospora crassa, in vivo protein synthesis, in vitro protein synthesis, as well as in vivo RNA and DNA synthesis of the wildtype and an edeine resistant mutant were measured.—Incorporation of 3H leucine into conidia of both strains, which served as a measure for in vivo protein synthesis, was inhibited by 200 g edeine/ml as follows: Wildtype approx. 40%, mutant approx. 6%.—Incorporation of 14C phenylalanine into polyphenylalanine in a cell free system with ribosomes from either the wildtype or the mutant, was inhibited between 74 and 95% by edeine at a ratio of 2 molecules edeine per ribosome.—Incorporation of 3H adenosine into conidia, serving as a measure for in vivo RNA synthesis, was inhibited in the wild-type (approx. 30% inhibition by 200 g edeine/ml). It was, however, not influenced in the ed
r
mutant. Similarly, in vivo DNA synthesis was decreased in the wildtype, but not in the mutant.—These results suggest that edeine acts at more than one site. The resistance of the mutant ed
r
-29 (ed

Stimulation of lymphocyte growth is accompanied by an early increase in the rate of protein synthesis. This increase is dependent upon the flow of inactive free ribosomes into polysomes, which is limited by a rate-controlling step at initiation [2]. Addition of actinomycin D (actD) to lymphocytes caused a gradual reduction in protein synthesis in resting cells, but rapidly inhibited both the elevation of protein synthesis and the activation of free ribosomes which normally follow exposure to mitogens. Since actD does not affect protein synthesis in enucleated lymphocytes [4], the effect in intact cells must be mediated by a nuclear event, which available data indicate is RNA synthesis. ActD prevented the accumulation of 80S initiation complexes which normally occurs in resting lymphocytes treated with pactamycin and cycloheximide, showing that its locus of action was at some point in initiation. The decline in rate of protein synthesis began without detectable lag when resting lymphocytes were treated with actD. However, after growth stimulation, a delay of ca 50 min occurred before the protein synthetic rate declined in response to actD. These observations agree with the hypothesis that the concentration of some moderately short-lived RNA is rate-limiting for protein synthesis in resting lymphocytes, and that an early event in growth stimulation is a rise in the amount of this component to levels which are no longer rate-limiting. This permits an increased flow of ribosomes into polysomes and a consequent rise in protein synthesis. Available evidence indicates that the regulatory RNA is neither mRNA nor rRNA, but may either be one of the small cytoplasmic RNAs whose function is unknown, or tRNAimet. 相似文献

Logarithmically growing HeLa cell monolayers were treated with a range of concentrations of puromycin aminonucleoside (AMS). The effects of AMS were studied by the following means: microscope examination of treated cells; enumeration of the cell number using an electronic particle counter; analyses for DNA, RNA, and protein content; incorporation of P32 and H3-thymidine into nucleic acids; and fractionation of nucleic acids by column chromatography. Taking the rate of incorporation of the isotopic precursor as a measure of nucleic acid synthesis, it was found that concentrations of the inhibitor which had a rapid effect on the rate of cell division inhibited the synthesis of all types of nucleic acids and of protein, but depressed ribosomal RNA synthesis most markedly. Lower concentrations of AMS selectively inhibited ribosomal RNA and, to a lesser extent, transfer RNA synthesis. Partial inhibition of ribosomal RNA synthesis with low doses had no effect on the rate of cell division within the period studied (3 generation times). The cell content of RNA returned to normal when the inhibitor was removed. 相似文献

Excitatory synaptic stimulation of the R2 neuron in the abdominal ganglion of Aplysia californica causes an increased incorporation of 3Huridine into RNA. However, this could be the result of a change in precursor specific activity rather than an increase in RNA synthesis. We find that at low external uridine concentrations (1.5 μM) there is no increase in 3H-uridine incorporation correlated with synaptic stimulation. In addition, no change in incorporation of 3H-leucine into total protein or in the pattern of newly-synthesized proteins, resolved by electrophoresis on SDS-polyacrylamide gels, was detected with stimulation. Since the R2 neuron can be stimulated without a detectable change in RNA or protein synthesis, we conclude that the increase in incorporation observed at high external uridine concentrations (100 μM) could be caused by increased specific activity in a precursor pool rather than by an RNA synthesis change. 相似文献

The human erythroleukaemic cell line K562, in response to various chemical agents, undergoes differentiation and exhibits exclusive production of fetal and embryonic haemoglobins. In this study we have compared the efficiency of natural growth factors interleukin-3 and erythropoietin and three chemical inducers such as dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO, 1.9%), phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA, 50 ng/ml) and hemin (25 μm) on growth and differentiation of these cells. Erythropoietin significantly stimulated the growth of K562 cells (P<0.0001), while interleukin-3 did not (P= 0.2783). However, neither of these growth factors individually or together induced differentiation of K562 cells. Hemin appears to be more efficient than DMSO or PMA in differentiation of K562 cells as measured by benzidine positive cells (70% or more). The differentiation of K562 cells by hemin occurs independently of protein kinase-C activation and the arrest of DNA synthesis. In contrast, hemin significantly stimulated RNA and protein synthesis (P<0.0001) as measured by [3H]-uridine and [3H]-leucine incorporation respectively. Analysis of hemin-treated K562 nuclear extract on sodium dodecylsulphate gel electrophoresis showed that one protein band of molecular weight 70 kDa decreased after 48 h of incubation in the presence of 25 μm hemin. The disappearance of this protein can be prevented by cycloheximide (100 μg/ml) and actinomycin D (0.1 μg/ml) and thus indicating that the removal of 70 kDa protein seems to be dependent on RNA and protein synthesis. The regulatory role of 70 kDa protein in hemin-induced differentiation of K562 cells is discussed. 相似文献
