Translation is required for regulation of histone mRNA degradation 总被引:79,自引:0,他引:79
When DNA synthesis is inhibited, the mRNAs coding for the replication-dependent histone proteins are selectively destabilized. The histone genes have been altered and reintroduced into tk- mouse L cells by cotransfection with the herpesvirus thymidine kinase gene. Two features of the mRNA are necessary for regulation of degradation: first, the hairpin loop must be present at the 3' end of the histone mRNA; and second, the histone mRNA must be capable of being translated to within 300 nucleotides of the 3' end of the RNA. Polyadenylated histone mRNAs are stable, as are histone mRNAs that contain in-frame termination codons early in the coding region or 500 nucleotide 3' untranslated regions with a normal hairpin loop at the 3' end. 相似文献

Expression of replication-dependent histone genes requires a conserved hairpin RNA element in the 3' untranslated regions of poly(A)-less histone mRNAs. The 3' hairpin element is recognized by the hairpin-binding protein or stem-loop-binding protein (HBP/SLBP). This protein-RNA interaction is important for the endonucleolytic cleavage generating the mature mRNA 3' end. The 3' hairpin and presumably HBP/SLBP are also required for nucleocytoplasmic transport, translation, and stability of histone mRNAs. RNA 3' processing and mRNA stability are both regulated during the cell cycle. Here, we have determined the three-dimensional structure of a 24-mer RNA comprising a mammalian histone RNA hairpin using heteronuclear multidimensional NMR spectroscopy. The hairpin adopts a novel UUUC tetraloop conformation that is stabilized by base stacking involving the first and third loop uridines and a closing U-A base pair, and by hydrogen bonding between the first and third uridines in the tetraloop. The HBP interaction of hairpin RNA variants was analyzed in band shift experiments. Particularly important interactions for HBP recognition are mediated by the closing U-A base pair and the first and third loop uridines, whose Watson-Crick functional groups are exposed towards the major groove of the RNA hairpin. The results obtained provide novel structural insight into the interaction of the histone 3' hairpin with HBP, and thus the regulation of histone mRNA metabolism. 相似文献

To date, methanogens are the only group within the archaea where firing DNA replication origins have not been demonstrated in vivo. In the present study we show that a previously identified cluster of ORB (origin recognition box) sequences do indeed function as an origin of replication in vivo in the archaeon Methanothermobacter thermautotrophicus. Although the consensus sequence of ORBs in M. thermautotrophicus is somewhat conserved when compared with ORB sequences in other archaea, the Cdc6-1 protein from M. thermautotrophicus (termed MthCdc6-1) displays sequence-specific binding that is selective for the MthORB sequence and does not recognize ORBs from other archaeal species. Stabilization of in vitro MthORB DNA binding by MthCdc6-1 requires additional conserved sequences 3' to those originally described for M. thermautotrophicus. By testing synthetic sequences bearing mutations in the MthORB consensus sequence, we show that Cdc6/ORB binding is critically dependent on the presence of an invariant guanine found in all archaeal ORB sequences. Mutation of a universally conserved arginine residue in the recognition helix of the winged helix domain of archaeal Cdc6-1 shows that specific origin sequence recognition is dependent on the interaction of this arginine residue with the invariant guanine. Recognition of a mutated origin sequence can be achieved by mutation of the conserved arginine residue to a lysine or glutamine residue. Thus despite a number of differences in protein and DNA sequences between species, the mechanism of origin recognition and binding appears to be conserved throughout the archaea. 相似文献

The DNA polymerase I gene of a newly described deep-sea hydrothermal vent Archaea species, Thermococcus fumicolans, from IFREMERS's collection of hyperthermophiles has been cloned in Escherichia coli. As in Thermococcus litoralis, the gene is split by two intervening sequences (IVS) encoding inteins inserted in sites A and C of family B DNA polymerases.
The entire DNA polymerase gene, containing both inteins, was expressed at 30°C in E. coli strain BL21(DE3)pLysS using the pARHS2 expression vector. The native polypeptide precursor of 170 kDa was obtained, and intein
splicing as well as ligation of the three exteins was observed in vitro after heat exposure. The recombinant enzyme was purified
and some of its activities were characterized: polymerization, thermostability, exonuclease activities, and fidelity.

Non-coding RNAs are key players in many cellular processes within organisms from all three domains of life. The range and diversity of small RNA functions beyond their involvement in translation and RNA processing was first recognized for eukaryotes and bacteria. Since then, small RNAs were also found to be abundant in archaea. Their functions include the regulation of gene expression and the establishment of immunity against invading mobile genetic elements. This review summarizes our current knowledge about small RNAs used for regulation and defence in archaea. 相似文献

The Set1-containing complex COMPASS, which is the yeast homolog of the human MLL complex, is required for mono-, di-, and trimethylation of lysine 4 of histone H3. We have performed a comparative global proteomic screen to better define the role of COMPASS in histone trimethylation. We report that both Cps60 and Cps40 components of COMPASS are required for proper histone H3 trimethylation, but not for proper regulation of telomere-associated gene silencing. Purified COMPASS lacking Cps60 can mono- and dimethylate but is not capable of trimethylating H3(K4). Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) studies indicate that the loss subunits of COMPASS required for histone trimethylation do not affect the localization of Set1 to chromatin for the genes tested. Collectively, our results suggest a molecular requirement for several components of COMPASS for proper histone H3 trimethylation and regulation of telomere-associated gene expression, indicating multiple roles for different forms of histone methylation by COMPASS. 相似文献

A shuttle mechanism for DNA-protein interactions. The regulation of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
Previously it had been shown that poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase requires DNA for its activity and that this enzyme is auto-poly(ADP-ribosyl)ated. The studies reported here indicate that this self-modification inhibits the enzyme and decreases its affinity for DNA, as shown by sucrose gradient density centrifugation. The coupling of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase with poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase reactivates the polymerase by degrading poly(ADP-ribose) and restoring the polymerase-DNA complex. The assay of polymerase in the presence of glyco-hydrolase was made possible by use of a double-label assay involving release of 14C-labelled nicotinamide and the incorporation of 3H-labelled ADP-ribose from NAD+. These results provide the basis for a shuttle mechanism in which the polymerase can be moved on and off DNA by the action of these two enzymes. Mg2+ and histone H1 appear to activate the polymerase by increasing the affinity of the polymerase for DNA. 相似文献
