Fine-structure mapping of the capsid-specific mRNAs from adeno-associated virus (AAV) revealed an alternate splicing pattern in these RNAs. S1 nuclease and primer extension analyses showed that splicing of these mRNAs occurs at acceptor sites at nucleotide 2228 (major splice) or 2201 (minor splice). Both splice acceptors were ligated to the same 55-nucleotide leader in mature mRNAs. Both species were present in equal amounts in mRNA derived from AAV plasmid-transfected cells. However, when adenovirus infection accompanied the DNA transfection, the major splice predominated over the minor splice. Using cDNA clones of both the major and minor spliced mRNAs, we demonstrated that the largest AAV capsid protein, VP1, was derived from the minor spliced mRNA. The other capsid proteins, VP2 and VP3, came predominantly from the major spliced mRNA. These results, which describe the previously undetected minor splice, provide a mechanism for the production of all three AAV virion proteins. 相似文献

In contrast to influenza A and B viruses, which encode their matrix (M) proteins via an unspliced mRNA, the influenza C virus M protein appears to be coded for by a spliced mRNA from RNA segment 6. Although an open reading frame in RNA segment 6 of influenza C/JJ/50 virus could potentially code for a protein of 374 amino acids, a splicing event results in an mRNA coding for a 242-amino-acid M protein. The message for this protein represents the major M gene-specific mRNA species in C virus-infected cells. Despite the difference in coding strategies, there are sequence homologies among the M proteins of influenza A, B, and C viruses which confirm the evolutionary relationship of the three influenza virus types. 相似文献

Isolation and characterization of two types of cDNA for mitochondrial adenylate kinase and their expression in Escherichia coli 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Two cDNA clones for mitochondrial adenylate kinase were isolated from a cDNA library of bovine liver poly(A)+ RNA by using synthetic oligodeoxynucleotides as probes. The clone containing a 0.9-kilobase insert had the reading frame for a 241-residue protein (AK2A), while the other clone containing a 1.6-kilobase insert had the frame for a 234-residue protein (AK2B). Nucleotide sequences of these two clones were the same in the 5' portion up to the coding sequence for the 233rd residue, but different in the remaining 3' portions. The reported amino acid sequence of mitochondrial adenylate kinase from bovine heart corresponded to AK2A. Neither AK2A nor AK2B had a cleavable NH2-terminal presequence as that found in other imported mitochondrial proteins. RNA blot analysis of poly(A)+ RNAs from bovine liver and heart revealed three species of mRNA with approximate sizes of 0.9, 1.4, and 1.7 kilobases. The 1.7- and 1.4-kilobase species were specific for AK2B, whereas the 0.9-kilobase species was specific for AK2A. In the liver, the 1.7-kilobase mRNA was more abundant, whereas in the heart the 0.9-kilobase mRNA was predominant. The 1.4-kilobase mRNA was present only in the heart. The AK2A- and AK2B-coding sequences were expressed in Escherichia coli cells under the control of trc promoter. Both the products reverted the temperature-sensitive phenotype of the adenylate kinase mutant of E. coli. 相似文献

Degradation of de novo-generated adeno-associated virus type 5 (AAV5) Rep52 and capsid proteins is part of the limited target specificity displayed by adenovirus type 5 E4Orf6-E1B-55k as part of a cullin 5-containing E3 ligase complex. Both Rep and capsid proteins can be found in the ligase complex, and their presence is dependent on interaction between E4Orf6 and elongins B and C. Degradation of AAV5 proteins can be inhibited by a dominant-negative ubiquitin that prevents chain elongation or by small interfering RNA directed against cullin 5. 相似文献

Three distantly homologous neighboring long open reading frames in the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) genome are preceded by short open reading frames. The leftmost short and long open reading frames encode EBNA3, a nuclear protein which is slightly smaller (145 kilodaltons [kDa]) than two other nuclear proteins (150 to 155 kDa) detected in Western blots (immunoblots) of latently infected cell protein (K. Hennessy, F. Wang, E. Woodland-Bushman, and E. Kieff, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 83:5693-5697, 1986; I. Joab, D. T. Rowe, M. Bodescot, J.-C. Nicolas, P. J. Farrell, and M. Perricaudet, J. Virol. 61:3340-3344, 1987). We have demonstrated that the most rightward short (BERF3) and long (BERF4) open reading frames are spliced in frame at the 3' end of a 5-kilobase latently infected cell RNA and that this RNA begins within or upstream of the EBV long internal repeat. EBV-immune human antibodies specific for the long open reading frame translation product identified a 155-kDa protein on Western blots of latently infected cell protein and specifically reacted with large nonnucleolar nuclear granules in every latently infected cell. Expression of the cDNA in BALB/c 3T3 cells resulted in translation of full-size EBNA3C but had no effect on cell morphology, contact inhibition, or serum independence. 相似文献
