IgM secreting cells express little or no membrane IgM. This is not always due to absence of the relevant mRNA. To investigate the synthesis and processing of membrane (micron) and secreted (microseconds) polypeptides in secretory B cells, myeloma cells were transfected either with a plasmid containing an intact mu gene or with one only capable of directing micron (not microseconds) mRNA synthesis. Although myeloma transfectants could make abundant levels of micron mRNA, they did not express IgM on the cell surface. In the myeloma host, micron mRNA is translated some 5-fold less efficiently than microseconds mRNA. However, this translational control does not totally preclude micron synthesis, indicating post-translational regulatory events. No difference between micron and microseconds chains could be detected in their rate of assembly with light chains or in their stability, although both types of heavy chain were degraded more rapidly when synthesized in the absence of light chain, or when the hydrophobic nature of the leader sequence was destroyed by site-directed mutagenesis. However, whereas intracellular microseconds chains in IgM-secreting plasmacytoma were found to be concentrated in the Golgi, the micron chains were mainly located in the endoplasmic reticulum. Retention in the endoplasmic reticulum is also observed for both micron and microseconds when synthesized in the absence of light chain. We propose that it is the expansion of the endoplasmic reticulum that accompanies B cell to plasma cell differentiation which is in part responsible for the down-regulation of surface IgM expression. Such a mechanism may also affect the expression of other surface proteins. 相似文献

The expression of immunoglobulin heavy chain genes was studied in five murine B-lymphomas known from previous studies to express either mu (38C-13), mu + delta (L10A, K46, BCL1) or gamma chains (A20). The presence of mu- and gamma-mRNAs in these tumors was determined by Northern blot analyses of the total cell poly(A)+ mRNA, using the appropriate 32P-labeled recombinant plasmid probes. In four out of the five lymphomas examined, both mu- and gamma-mRNAs were detected. The mu-mRNA appeared as multiple discrete bands of 1.9-3.0 kb. In three out of the four lymphomas, the gamma-mRNA appeared as two bands, a major one of 1.9 and a minor one of 3.9 kb. Three myelomas examined by similar methods did not contain more than one class of heavy chain mRNA. Reexamination of the Ig chains produced by the B-lymphomas which expressed both mu- and gamma-mRNAs revealed that two of them preserved their original phenotype and expressed mu (38C-13) or gamma chains only (A20). In contrast, two of the cell lines previously shown to express mu but not gamma chains (i.e., L10A and K46R) had changed during growth in culture and 'switched' to the production of gamma chains only. These results indicate that, in contrast to myelomas, B-lymphomas possess two classes of mRNA. However, the production of heavy chain mRNA in B-lymphomas is not necessarily accompanied by synthesis of the corresponding polypeptide chains. More studies are necessary to find out whether the expression of 'non-productive' heavy chain mRNA molecules in B-lymphomas is related to the phenomena of 'allelic exclusion' and/or the 'heavy chain switch' which occurs during the maturation of B-cells. 相似文献

A comparison of apparent mRNA half-life using kinetic labeling techniques vs decay following administration of transcriptional inhibitors. 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
Several different techniques were used to determine the apparent half-lives of immunoglobulin gamma 2b heavy chain and kappa light chain mRNA's in mouse myeloma 4T001 and a mutant derived from 4T001, i.e., mutant I17. The mutant I17 Ig heavy chain mRNA lacks CH1 and has fused CH2 and CH3 domains resulting in a truncated protein. By all four techniques the Ig heavy chain mRNA from mutant I17 displays a half-life that is approximately 70% the half-life of Ig mRNA in 4T001 cells. However, the absolute values of apparent half-life varied by greater than twofold for both lines among several of the techniques employed. The half-life of Ig gamma 2b mRNA in 4T001 cells was found to be 6.4 h by measuring decay following administration of the adenosine analog DRB to block new mRNA synthesis and 5.7 hr by measuring accumulation in an approach to steady-state labeling protocol. In contrast, the observed Ig mRNA half-lives determined by measuring decay following administration of actinomycin D to block new mRNA synthesis, or in a pulse-chase analysis were 2.9 and 3.8 h, respectively. The apparent half-life for Ig kappa light chain mRNA was the same in the 4T001 and I17 lines using any one technique but the value varied depending on the technique from a high value of 5.9 h following DRB to a low value of 2.4 h with actinomycin decay. Approach to steady-state is theoretically the most accurate method to measure mRNA half-life when that value is less than the doubling time of the cells. Pulse-chase analyses are accurate for measuring mRNA half-life when that value is longer than the effective chase period. Measuring preformed message decay following administration of drugs to block new mRNA synthesis is adaptable over a range of half-lives, but the cells must be shown to retain correct RNA metabolism over the time frame of the experiment. Determining a correct half-life for a particular mRNA may not be feasible using only one method and may, in fact, require several different approaches until a consensus value emerges. 相似文献

Physical and biological properties of an epsilon-heavy chain mRNA and a kappa-light chain mRNA coding for rat immunoglobulin E 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The mRNA coding for epsilon-heavy chain and kappa-light chain have been highly enriched from a rat IgE-producing myeloma, IR-162. Based on denaturing gel analyses, the 20 S epsilon-heavy chain mRNA has an estimated molecular weight of 850,000, equivalent to about 2500 nucleotides. The 14S rat kappa-light chain mRNA has an estimated molecular weight of 410,000, equivalent to about 1200 nucleotides. Only about two-thirds of the length of these mature cytoplasmic rat mRNA code for protein. The 20 S mRNA stimulates the in vitro synthesis of a single major serologically related protein which is large enough to be epsilon-heavy chain. It is unglycosylated and has an apparent molecular weight of about 62,000. The in vivo unglycosylated epsilon-heavy chain, obtained in the presence of tunicamycin, has an apparent molecular weight of about 59,000, compared with about 76,000 for the glycosylated heavy chain of the secreted rat IgE. Therefore, the in vitro synthesized epsilon-heavy chain protein is about Mr = 3000 larger than the in vivo unglycosylated epsilon-heavy chain, equivalent to about 25 extra amino acids. This is consistent with the synthesis of an epsilon-heavy chain putative precursor. Likewise, the 14 S mRNA stimulates the in vitro synthesis of a single putative precursor protein, which is serologically related to kappa chain, is unglycosylated, and is about an extra 20 amino acids. This is the first report on the physical and biological properties of an epsilon-heavy chain mRNA, as well as any rat immunoglobulin mRNA. 相似文献

Abstract— Brain RNP particles were characterized to determine whether they play a role in the regulation of brain protein synthesis. RNP particles were isolated from the postribosomal supernatant of cerebral hemispheres of young rabbits, employing conditions which minimize adventitious protein-RNA interactions. Brain RNP particles consist of a different set of proteins compared to proteins associated with either 40 and 60s ribosomal subunits or polysomal mRNA. Poly(A+)mRNA from brain RNP particles stimulates the incorporation of [35 S]methionine in a wheat embryo cell-free system and codes for a different set of proteins compared to poly(A+)mRNA isolated from polysomes (with some overlap; i.e. mRNA coding for brain-specific S100 protein is present in both RNP particles and polysomes).
Addition of total brain RNP particles to a cell-free wheat embryo system inhibits the endogenous incorporation of [35 S]methionine. Total RNP particles were fractionated by sucrose density gradient centrifugation into a'light'and a'heavy'fraction. The light RNP fraction inhibited while the heavy RNP fraction stimulated protein synthesis in the wheat embryo cell-free system. Analysis of the protein composition of fractionated RNP particles revealed that the light and heavy RNP particles contained different sets of proteins. Together these results suggested that one class of brain RNP particles may contain a translational inhibitor and may be involved in the regulation of protein synthesis in the brain. 相似文献

The mRNA's for both the heavy chain (H315) and the light chain (L315) of the mineral oil-induced plasmacytoma-315 myeloma protein have been isolated and partially purified from both total cellular RNA and RNA derived from membrane-bound polysomes. The yields of both L315 mRNA and, in particular, of H315 mRNA were increased when total cellular RNA was used as starting material. Total poly(A)-containing mRNA and partially purified mRNA obtained by preparative sucrose gradient sedimentation stimulated protein synthesis in cell-free extracts derived from Ehrlich ascites tumor cells or wheat germ. Cell-free products antigenically and structurally related to both the authentic L315 and H315 secreted by intact cells were synthesized in the Ehrlich ascites cell-free system in response to the appropriate mRNA's. Only the L315 mRNA was efficiently translated in the cell-free system derived from wheat germ. 相似文献

Here we describe the 500-fold purification of an mRNA encoding an immunoglobulin lambda light chain derived from the mouse myeloma tumor, RPC-20. Purification involves the isolation of membrane-bound polysomes, oligo(dT)-cellulose chromatography, and sucrose gradient centrifugation under conditions favoring denaturation of polynucleotide complexes. The mRNA purified in this way directs the cell-free synthesis of a polypeptide which is five or six amino acids longer than the mature form of RPC-20 light chain. In addition to directing the synthesis of a precursor-like polypeptide, the mRNA migrates on electrophoresis as a band containing approximately 1150 nucleotides, about 500 more than required to encode the mature form of the light chain. 相似文献

Immunoglobulin heavy chain mRNA was purified from immunoprecipitated polysomes derived from the mouse myeloma tumor, MOPC-31C. The purified mRNA migrated predominantly as a single band upon polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in 98% formamide and the molecular weight of this mRNA was calculated to be 700,000. This mRNA was as active as the purified light chain mRNA when it was employed as a template in a cell-free protein synthesizing system from wheat germ. The translation product had a molecular weight of 55,000 daltons, and migrated slightly faster than mature heavy chain upon polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in sodium dodecylsulfate. The protein synthesized by the direction of this mRNA was shown to yield tryptic peptides corresponding to those derived from the mature heavy chain protein except that one missing peptide was replaced by another additional peptide. DNA complementary to the mRNA was synthesized by RNA-dependent DNA polymerase from avian myeloblastosis virus. Hybridization kinetic analysis between the heavy chain mRNA and its complementary DNA indicated that the RNA was essentially homogenous with rabbit globin mRNA as a standard. 相似文献

The requirement of light chain for the surface deposition of the heavy chain of immunoglobulin M 总被引:13,自引:0,他引:13
The murine tumor line 70Z/3 resembles a pre-B lymphocyte in containing the heavy chain of IgM (mu) as a cytoplasmic protein in the apparent absence of light chain (L). However, these cells can be induced by lipopolysaccharide to differentiate into a B lymphocyte-like state, containing mu2L2 tetramers as membrane-bound molecules. This is a accompanied by an increase in mu synthesis, the acquisition of complex carbohydrate by mu, and the induction of L chain. We wished to determine which of these events is critical for membrane deposition of mu. We found that uninduced 70Z/3 cells, as well as lipopolysaccharide-uninducible variants, contained a low, constitutive level of membrane bound mu, all of which was found as mu2L2. Dextran sulfate, another inducing agent, apparently caused a redistribution of this pre-existing surface mu without altering the pattern of mu synthesis or processing. One lipopolysaccharide-uninducible variant showed a small subset of surface mu-positive cells, and the proportion of these cells increased with a prolonged induction period. The increase in mu synthesis was nearly normal, but mu did not acquire complex carbohydrate. However, the delayed appearance of surface mu-positive cells was paralleled by a delayed increase in L chain, which occurred only in those cells with mu on their membrane. We concluded that L chain signals the transport of mu to the cell surface. 相似文献

In this study we have analyzed the dynamic covariation of the mammalian cell proteome with respect to functional phenotype during fed-batch culture of NS0 murine myeloma cells producing a recombinant IgG(4) monoclonal antibody. GS-NS0 cells were cultured in duplicate 10 L bioreactors (36.5 degrees C, 15% DOT, pH 7.0) for 335 h and supplemented with a continuous feed stream after 120 h. Cell-specific growth rate declined continuously after 72 h of culture. Cell-specific recombinant monoclonal antibody production rate (qP) varied sixfold through culture. Whilst qP correlated with relative recombinant heavy chain mRNA abundance up to 216 h, qP subsequently declined, independent of recombinant heavy chain or light chain mRNA abundance. GS-NS0 cultures were sampled at 48 h intervals between 24 and 264 h of culture for proteomic analyses. Total protein abundance and nascent polypeptide synthesis was determined by 2D PAGE of unlabeled proteins visualized by SYPRO Ruby and autoradiography of (35)S-labeled polypeptides, respectively. Covariation of nascent polypeptide synthesis and abundance with biomass-specific cell growth, glucose and glutamate consumption, lactate and Mab production rates were then examined using two partial least squares regression models. Most changes in polypeptide synthesis or abundance for proteins previously identified by mass spectrometry were positively correlated with biomass-specific growth rate. We conclude that the substantial transitions in cell physiology and qP that occur during culture utilize a relatively constant complement of the most abundant host cell machines that vary primarily with respect to induced changes in cell growth rate. 相似文献

A 53-residue peptide corresponding to the variable region 16-68 of the heavy chain of phosphocholine binding mouse myeloma M603 protein was synthesized by a solid-phase fragment strategy. The homogeneity of the VH(16-68) peptide was confirmed by high-performance liquid chromatography, sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, amino acid analysis, and mass spectrometry. Synthetic VH(16-68) associated with the M603 light chain, and about 27% of the recombination mixture bound to phosphocholine immobilized on Sepharose as compared to a 28% binding yield obtained for the recombined natural light and heavy chains under the same conditions. The binding yield for the recombinant of the light chain with previously prepared VH(27-68) fragment was about 11%. These semisynthetic antibodies VH(27-68) and VH(16-68) light chain recombinants are forerunners of structural variants designed to study the antigen binding pocket of the M603 immunoglobulin. 相似文献

The initial step of intermolecular covalent assembly of immunoglobulins molecules involves formation of heavy chain-light chain or heavy chain-heavy chain disulfide bonds. Using QAE-Sephadex chromatography to isolate microsomal nascent polypeptides, we have shown that this initial step of intermolecular covalent assembly occurs, to a substantial extent, on nascent heavy chains, as well as on completed heavy chains as previously demonstrated by others. In MPC 11 mouse myeloma cells, completed light chains are assembled covalently to nascent heavy chains, whereas in MOPC 21 mouse myeloma cells, completed heavy chains are assembled covalently to nascent heavy chains. These results are consisted with the heavy-light half-molecule being the major initial intermediate in the assembly of MPC 11 IgG2b and heavy-heavy dimer being the major initial intermediate formed in assembly of MOPC 21 IgG1. The nascent MPC 11 heavy chain must be at least 38,000 daltons in size before assembly with the light chain occurs, even though the heavy chain cysteine involved in this disulfide bond is 131 residues (approximately 15,000 daltons) from the NH2 terminus. In addition, pulse-chase labeling studies of MPC 11 cells have shown that the assembly of completed light chains with the nascent heavy chain must occur within a few minutes of the synthesis of the light chain even though a large excess of unassembled MPC 11 light chains remain inside the cell for an average time of 2 h before being secreted. 相似文献

A single intraperitoneal injection of N-hydroxy-acetylaminofluorene (N-hydroxy-AAF) at a dosage of 30 mg/kg significantly inhibited rat liver protein synthesis within 15 min. Marked alterations in the subcellular distribution of hepatic RNA accompanied the decline in protein synthesis in treated rats. These changes included decreases in nuclear and bound polysomal RNA and increases in free polysomal and non-sedimentable RNA. Heavy polysomal aggregates, both free and bound, were almost completely degraded to monomers and dimers during this period. Sedimentation profiles of total cytoplasmic RNA revealed no evidence of gross RNA breakdown in N-hydroxy-AAF-treated animals. To determine the mechanisms responsible for the inhibition of protein synthesis by N-hydroxy-AAF, cellular components involved in protein synthesis were purified from control and treated animals and examined in two cell-free systems. In a system which measures polypeptide chain elongation and release, the incorporation of amino acids into protein was reduced by 35% using polysomes from N-hydroxy-AAF treated animals compared with controls. By contrast, the function of the pH 5 fraction (containing aminoacylating enzymes and tRNA) from the carcinogen-treated animals was unimpaired. A wheat germ lysate system was used to determine the ability of mRNA to program polypeptide chain initiation and elongation. Cytoplasmic poly(A)+ RNA from N-hydroxy-AAF treated rats showed reduced capacity to stimulate protein synthesis in wheat germ lysates compared with similar preparations from DMSO-injected control rats. The rapid inhibition of protein synthesis by N-hydroxy-AAF may be an important contributing factor to other toxic effects of the carcinogen, including the inhibition of rRNA synthesis. 相似文献

Analysis of nascent heavy chains isolated from MPC11 (gamma 2b heavy chains) and MOPC 21 (gamma 1 heavy chains) mouse myeloma cells demonstrates an accumulation of nascent heavy chains which are slightly smaller in mass (approximately 35,000 daltons) than nascent heavy chains which have just been glycosylated (approximately 38,000 daltons). The accumulation of 35,000-dalton nascent heavy chain appears to be a consequence of the glycosylation process since tunicamycin, an inhibitor of glycosylation, abolishes the apparent translational block manifested by the accumulation of 35,000-dalton nascent chains. Tunicamycin also causes a 15 to 25% increase n the relative rate of synthesis of heavy chain compared to the corresponding rate of synthesis of the nonglycosylated light chain synthesized by the same cell. These results suggest that the translation block, caused by the glycosylation process, of heavy chain synthesis contributes to the imbalance of heavy chain and light chain biosynthesis observed in malignant and normal lymphoid cells. 相似文献

Xenopus liver ferritin H subunit: cDNA sequence and mRNA production in the liver following estrogen treatment 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
In vitro translation of liver mRNA from estrogen-treated Xenopus frogs yields two abundant polypeptides in the range of 20 kDa. DNA clones for one of these translation products were isolated and shown to be complementary to mRNA for the heavy subunit of ferritin. The predicted Xenopus amino acid sequence shares about 86% identity with the ferritin heavy chain from bullfrogs and about 70% identity with the comparable mammalian and avian proteins. Clone identity was confirmed by hybridization selection followed by in vitro translation into translation products of 19.5-20 kDa. The nearly full-length cDNA clone, termed XlferH1, comprises 868 nucleotides plus 22 adenosines of the poly(A) tail, including 134 nucleotides of the 5'-untranslated region, a 528-base coding region for 176 amino acids, and a 206-nucleotide 3'-untranslated region. The clone lacks 22 nucleotides from the 5' end of the mRNA. The level of ferritin mRNA in the liver of estrogen-treated frogs was determined over time. The amount of this mRNA relative to total RNA decreased about 3-fold 14 days after estradiol-17 beta was administered. However, the hormone also elevated total RNA in the liver about 24-fold. Hence, the total ferritin mRNA content of the liver increased to about 8 times its initial amount. This pattern of gene expression was very similar to that for serum retinol binding protein. The estrogen induction of these two mRNAs appeared to parallel the overall stimulation of hepatic RNA synthesis.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献
