A panel of murine hybridoma cell lines which produce antibodies against polypeptides present in human placental DNA polymerase delta preparations was developed. Eight of these antibodies were characterized by virtue of their ability to inhibit DNA polymerase delta activity and immunoblot the 170-kDa catalytic polypeptide. Six of these eight antibodies inhibit DNA polymerase delta but not DNA polymerase alpha, showing that the two proteins are distinct. However, the other two monoclonal antibodies inhibited both DNA polymerase delta and alpha activities, providing the first evidence that these two proteins have a structural relationship. In addition to antibodies against the catalytic polypeptide we also identified 11 antibodies which recognize 120-, 100-, 88-, 75-, 62-, 36-, and 22-kDa polypeptides in DNA polymerase delta preparations, suggesting that these proteins might be part of a replication complex. The antibody to the 36-kDa polypeptide was shown to be directed against proliferating cell nuclear antigen/cyclin. These antibodies should prove useful for studies aimed at distinguishing between DNA polymerases alpha and delta and for the investigation of the functional roles of DNA polymerase delta polypeptides. 相似文献

Summary Monoclonal antibodies were raised against purified RNA polymerase II (or B) from Drosophila melanogaster. The antibody produced by one hybridoma cell clone was found to be directed against the two large subunits of the enzyme. The absence of antibodies directed against proteins possibly contaminating the antigens used for immunization allowed us to identify RNA polymerase unequivocally in interbands and puffs of polytene chromosomes. Within a single heat shock puff (87C1) RNA polymerase was found to be clustered in two separate areas suggesting two distint regions of RNA polymerase activity in this puff.Abbreviations FITC

A sucrose density gradient-purified, membrane-bound tobacco mosaic virus (tomato strain L) (TMV-L) RNA polymerase containing endogenous RNA template was efficiently solubilized with sodium taurodeoxycholate. Solubilization resulted in an increase in the synthesis of positive-strand, 6.4-kb genome-length single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) and a decrease in the production of 6.4-kbp double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) to levels close to the limits of detection. The solubilized TMV-L RNA polymerase was purified by chromatography on columns of DEAE-Bio-Gel and High Q. Analysis by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and silver staining showed that purified RNA polymerase preparations consistently contained proteins with molecular masses of 183, 126, 56, 54, and 50 kDa, which were not found in equivalent material from healthy plants. Western blotting showed that the two largest of these proteins are the TMV-L-encoded 183- and 126-kDa replication proteins and that the 56-kDa protein is related to the 54.6-kDa GCD10 protein, the RNA-binding subunit of yeast eIF-3. The 126-, 183-, and 56-kDa proteins were coimmunoaffinity selected by antibodies against the TMV-L 126-kDa protein and by antibodies against the GCD10 protein. Antibody-linked polymerase assays showed that active TMV-L RNA polymerase bound to antibodies against the TMV-L 126-kDa protein and to antibodies against the GCD10 protein. Synthesis of genome-length ssRNA and dsRNA by a template-dependent, membrane-bound RNA polymerase was inhibited by antibodies against the GCD10 protein, and this inhibition was reversed by prior addition of GCD10 protein. 相似文献

Monoclonal antibodies directed against rabbit skeletal muscle myosin light chain kinase have been used to study the domains of this kinase. Specificity of nine monoclonal antibodies against rabbit skeletal muscle myosin light chain kinase was demonstrated by immunoblot analysis and immunoadsorption of kinase activity. None of the antibodies reacted by immunoblot analysis with either chicken skeletal or rabbit smooth muscle myosin light chain kinases. Epitope mapping of trypsin-digested rabbit skeletal muscle myosin light chain kinase showed that antibodies 2a, 9a, 9b, 12a, 12b, 16a, and 16b are directed against the 40-kDa catalytic domain. In addition, these seven antibodies reacted with sites that are clustered within a 14-kDa fragment of the kinase generated by Staphylococcus aureus V8 protease digestion. Two monoclonal antibodies, 14a and 19a, reacted with two distinct epitopes located within the inactive, asymmetric trypsin fragment. Six of nine monoclonal antibodies (2a, 9a, 9b, 12a, 12b, and 14a) inhibited kinase activity. Kinetic analyses demonstrated that antibodies 2a, 12a, and 14a inhibited kinase activity competitively with respect to myosin phosphorylatable light chain; 2a, 12a, and 14a exhibit noncompetitive inhibition with respect to calmodulin. These data suggest that monoclonal antibodies 2a, 12a, and 14a bind at or adjacent to the active site of the kinase. 相似文献

Mouse myeloma cells were fused with splenocytes from a mouse that had been immunized with RNA polymerase I purified from a rat hepatoma. Hybridoma cells were selected and colonies secreting antibodies directed against the enzyme were detected by analysis of cell culture supernatants in a solid phase radioimmunoassay. Two of these cell lines were grown on a larger scale and the interaction between the immunoglobulins obtained from them and RNA polymerase I was studied in detail. Antibodies from both of the hybridoma cell lines were able to inhibit DNA-dependent RNA synthesis catalyzed by RNA polymerases I and III, but not that catalyzed by polymerase II. The antibodies were also capable of reducing the RNA chain elongation reaction catalyzed either by RNA polymerase I associated with isolated nucleoli or by enzyme preinitiated in vitro on calf thymus DNA. Inhibition of RNA polymerase I activity by the monoclonal antibodies was inversely related to the nucleotide concentration. In contrast, the DNA concentration had relatively little effect on inhibition by the antibodies. Analysis of immune complex formation between the antibodies and isolated individual enzyme subunits demonstrated that the monoclonal antibodies were directed against the largest (Mr = 190,000) polypeptide of the polymerase I. These data indicate that the largest subunit of RNA polymerase I contains an immunological determinant in common with RNA polymerase III and suggest that the polymerase I polypeptide of Mr = 190,000 contains a catalytic center involved in RNA chain elongation. 相似文献

Simian virus 40 large T antigen is a multifunctional protein that is encoded by the early region of the viral genome. We constructed fusion proteins between simian virus 40 large T antigen and beta-galactosidase by cloning HindIII fragments A and D of the virus into the HindIII sites of expression vectors pUR290, pUR291, and pUR292. Large amounts of the fusion protein were synthesized when the DNA fragment encoding part of simian virus 40 large T antigen was in frame with the lacZ gene of the expression vector. Using Western blotting and a competition radioimmunoassay, we assessed the binding of existing anti-T monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies to the two fusion proteins. Several monoclonal antibodies reacted with the protein encoded by the fragment A construction, but none reacted with the protein encoded by the fragment D construction. However, mice immunized with pure beta-galactosidase-HindIII fragment D fusion protein produced good levels of anti-T antibodies, which immunoprecipitated simian virus 40 large T antigen from lytically infected cells, enabling derivation of monoclonal antibodies to this region of large T antigen. Therefore, the fusion proteins allowed novel epitopes to be discovered on large T antigen and permitted the precise localization of epitopes recognized by existing antibodies. The same approach can also be used to produce antibodies against defined regions of any gene. 相似文献

Monoclonal antibodies directed against two rotavirus surface proteins (vp3 and vp7) as well as a rotavirus inner capsid protein (vp6) were tested for their ability to protect suckling mice against virulent rotavirus challenge. Monoclonal antibodies to two distinct epitopes of vp7 of simian rotavirus strain RRV neutralized RRV in vitro and passively protected suckling mice against RRV challenge. A monoclonal antibody directed against vp3 of porcine rotavirus strain OSU neutralized three distinct serotypes in vitro (OSU, RRV, and UK) and passively protected suckling mice against OSU, RRV, and UK virus-induced diarrhea. The role of vp3 in eliciting protection against heterotypic rotavirus challenge should be considered when developing a vaccine with cloned rotavirus genes. Alternatively, immunization with a reassortant rotavirus containing vp3 and vp7 from two antigenically distinct rotavirus parents might protect against diarrhea induced by two or more rotavirus serotypes. 相似文献

Properties of monoclonal antibodies selected for probing the conformation of wild type and mutant forms of the P22 tailspike endorhamnosidase 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Eleven species of monoclonal antibodies directed against the trimeric P22 tailspike endorhamnosidase have been selected and characterized. Seven of these antibodies recognize the native tailspike, both isolated and assembled onto the virion, and prevent phage infection. Four antibodies react with denatured forms of the tailspike as well as with the plastic absorbed tailspike. Three of these latter prevent the tailspike from assembling onto the phage head. The antibodies have been tested against tailspike proteins carrying single amino acid substitutions at 15 different sites on the protein. Two of these mutations interfere with binding by a set of the monoclonals, indicating that they disrupt the epitopes for these antibodies. Since amino acid replacements corresponding to the temperature-sensitive folding mutations do not change the conformation of the native protein, these mutant proteins may be particularly useful for mapping epitopes. Amber fragments of the tailspike chain are recognized predominantly by the anti-denatured antibodies suggesting either that they are conformationally closer to folding intermediates than to the native tailspike or that the epitopes recognized by anti-native antibodies are carried by the C-terminal end of the native protein. Immunochemical detection by an anti-denatured antibody, after sucrose gradient sedimentation of a large 55-kDa amber fragment, indicates a monomeric rather than a trimeric state. This suggests that the missing C-terminal region is important for the trimerization reaction. Such N-terminal amber fragments may be useful models for studying with the monoclonal antibodies the nascent chain emerging from the ribosome. 相似文献

In our monoclonal antibody (MAb) stocks prepared against the BHK-21 cell antigens, two (#11875 and 28276) recognized a 21-kDa polypeptide (referred to as VAP21) which is efficiently incorporated into the rabies virion. By using these MAbs, we isolated the cDNA clones that encoded a polypeptide of 144 amino acids from our BHK-21 cell cDNA library. Based on the following evidence, the cDNA was assumed to encode a full-length sequence of VAP21 antigen: i) expression of the cDNA in animal cells resulted in the production of a polypeptide recognized by the two MAbs, and its electrophoretic mobility was the same as that of authentic VAP21 antigen; and ii) immunization with the products from the cDNA-transformed E. coli cells raised specific antibodies in rabbits that recognized a 21-kDa polypeptide in the virion. From the deduced amino acid sequence, it is suggested that the VAP21 antigen has a molecular structure of type-I transmembrane protein containing characteristic proline-rich and glycine-rich regions in its ectodomain. Homology searches resulted in finding homologous sequences (totally about 40% homology) in the human MIC2 gene product (CD99; 32-kDa) of T lymphocytes. These results suggest that the VAP21 antigen in the rabies virion is a cellular CD99-related transmembrane protein. 相似文献

The genetic locus of Yersinia pestis encoding synthesis of a 46-kDa heat-inducible outer membrane protein (Omp2) was cloned into pBR322 plasmid. The Omp2 was shown to be analogous to previously described YopH and Yop2b proteins. The fifth HindIII fragment of 48-MDa calcium dependence plasmid pCad358 mediates production of 31- and 28-kDa proteins, irrespective of orientation of the insertion. A 31-kDa polypeptide seems to correspond to the YopJ described elsewhere. The maps of BamHI and HindIII of pCad358 region studied differed from those described for pCD1 plasmid of Y. pestis KIM. The products encoded by genes from the fragment cloned in the Pgm+ background give rise to considerable growth of Y. pestis within mouse peritoneal macrophages but were not sufficient to cause lethal infectious process. 相似文献

Monoclonal hybridoma antibodies directed against RNA polymerase from E. coli have been obtained. Only a few have been found to inhibit the enzyme activity. Antibodies produced by two clones, PYN-1 and PYN-2, inhibit RNA polymerase at the stage of RNA chain elongation. The PYN-1 antibodies react with the beta'-subunit of the enzyme. The PYN-2 antibodies react with the beta-subunit and with its 130 kDa amber fragment. 相似文献

Human cytomegalovirus contains a structural polypeptide that is 28 kilodaltons in apparent molecular size and is reactive in Western blot (immunoblot) analysis with the majority of human sera. The gene coding for this polypeptide was mapped on the genome of human cytomegalovirus strain AD169. A monoclonal antibody specific for the 28-kilodalton polypeptide was used to screen a cDNA library constructed from poly(A)+ RNA of human cytomegalovirus-infected cells in the procaryotic expression vector lambda gt11. Hybridization of cDNA with cosmid and plasmid clones mapped the gene to the HindIII R fragment. The gene was transcribed into a late 1.3-kilobase RNA. The nucleotide sequence of the coding region was determined. Parts of the 28-kilodalton polypeptide were expressed in Escherichia coli as hybrid proteins fused to beta-galactosidase. In Western blots these proteins were recognized by human sera. Antibodies raised against the hybrid proteins reacted specifically with the viral antigen in immunoprecipitations and Western blots. In vitro phosphorylation of HCMV virions and immunoprecipitation showed that the 28-kilodalton polypeptide was phosphorylated. 相似文献

Production and characterization of monoclonal antibodies specific for the functional domains of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Monoclonal antibodies were developed against poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase and analyzed for their reactivity against the NAD+- and DNA-binding fragments. Two fusions were performed to obtain hybridomas and the resulting anti-poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase antibodies were further screened by characterization of their immunoglobulin light chains. Five different hybridomas were isolated which produced different immunoglobulin light chains, all of which were specific for poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase. The specificities of these antibodies were determined by immunoblotting against the purified poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase, its autodegradation fragments, and the fragments prepared by limited proteolysis with chymotrypsin and papain. These fragments have been suggested to contain the NAD+-binding site, the DNA-binding site, and the automodification site, respectively. All the monoclonal antibodies reacted with the 116 kdalton (kDa) band corresponding to the purified enzyme. Four antibodies reacted exclusively with antigenic site(s) on the 46-kDa fragment which contains the DNA-binding site. A fifth antibody reacted exclusively with a clearly different antigenic site on the 74- and 54-kDa fragments which possess the NAD+ (substrate) binding site. The immunoreactivity with the major autodegradation products (69- and 46-kDa fragments) of the purified enzyme confirms this difference between the two groups of antibodies. The 22-kDa fragment corresponding to the auto-modification site does not show any immunoreactivity with the antibodies. 相似文献

Increasing evidence has supported the concept that many of the enzymes and factors involved in the replication of mammalian DNA function together as a multiprotein complex. We have previously reported on the partial purification of a multiprotein form of DNA polymerase from human HeLa cells shown to be fully competent to support origin-specific large T-antigen-dependent simian virus 40 (SV40) DNA replication in vitro. In an attempt to more definitively identify the complex or complexes responsible for DNA replication in vitro, partially purified human HeLa cell protein preparations competent to replicate DNA in vitro were subjected to native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and electrophoretically transferred to nitrocellulose. The Native Western blots were probed with a panel of antibodies directed against proteins believed to be required for DNA replication in vitro. Apparent complexes of 620 kDa and 500 kDa were identified by monoclonal antibodies directed against DNA polymerase α and DNA polymerase δ, respectively. To detect epitopes possibly unexposed within the native multiprotein complexes, blots were also analyzed following denaturation in situ following treatment with detergent and reducing agent. The epitope or access to the epitope recognized by the monoclonal antibody against DNA polymerase α was destroyed by exposure of the blots to denaturing conditions. In contrast, an epitope present on a very large complex of approximately 1000 kDa was recognized by a monoclonal antibody against proliferating cell nuclear antigen only following treatment of the native immunoblots with denaturing agents. Identification of these complexes will allow their further purification, characterization, and elucidation of their role in the replication of DNA. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献
