The genome of Trypanosoma cruzi contains tandem arrays of alternating genes encoding amastin and tuzin. Amastin is a surface glycoprotein abundantly expressed on the intracellular mammalian amastigote form of the protozoan parasite, and tuzin is a G-like protein. We demonstrated previously that the amastin-tuzin gene cluster is polycistronically transcribed to an equal extent in all parasite life cycle stages. The steady state level of amastin mRNA, however, is 68-fold more abundant in amastigotes than in epimastigotes. Here we show that the half-life of amastin mRNA is 7 times longer in amastigotes than in epimastigotes. Linker replacement experiments demonstrate that the middle one-third of the 630-nucleotide 3'-untranslated region (UTR) is responsible for the amastin mRNA up-regulation. This positive effect is dependent on the distance of the 3'-UTR segment from the stop codon and the polyadenylation site as well as on its orientation. A protein or protein complex more abundant in amastigotes than in epimastigotes binds to this minimally defined 3'-UTR segment and may be involved in its regulatory function. 相似文献

Heat shock in Drosophila results in repression of most normal (non-heat shock) mRNA translation and the preferential translation of the heat shock mRNAs. The sequence elements that confer preferential translation have been localized to the 5'-untranslated region (5'-UTR) for Hsp22 and Hsp70 mRNAs (in Drosophila). Hsp90 mRNA is unique among the heat shock mRNAs in having extensive secondary structure in its 5'-UTR and being abundantly represented in the non-heat shocked cell. In this study, we show that Hsp90 mRNA translation is inefficient at normal growth temperature, and substantially activated by heat shock. Its preferential translation is not based on an IRES-mediated translation pathway, because overexpression of eIF4E-BP inhibits its translation (and the translation of Hsp70 mRNA). The ability of Hsp90 mRNA to be preferentially translated is conferred by its 5'-UTR, but, in contrast to Hsp22 and -70, is primarily influenced by nucleotides close to the AUG initiation codon. We present a model to account for Hsp90 mRNA translation, incorporating results indicating that heat shock inhibits eIF4F activity, and that Hsp90 mRNA translation is sensitive to eIF4F inactivation. 相似文献

A possibility of involvement of 3'-terminal 18S rRNA segment in the cap-independent initiation of translation on plant ribosomes was studied. It was shown that 3-terminal segment (nucleotides 1777-1811) of 18S rRNA including the last hairpin 45 is accessible for complementary interactions in 40S ribosomal subunits. Oligonucleotides complementary to this segment of rRNA when added to wheat germ cell-free protein synthesizing system were found to specifically inhibit translation of uncapped reporter mRNA coding for beta-glucuronidase, which bears in the 5'-untranslated region (UTR) a leader sequence of potato virus Y (PVY) genomic RNA possessing fragments complementary to the region 1777-1811. It was shown that a sequence corresponding to nucleotides 291-316 of PVY, which is complementary to a major portion of the 3-terminal 18S rRNA segment 1777-1808, when placed into 5'-UTR, is able to enhance translational efficiency of the reporter mRNAs. The results obtained suggest that complementary interactions between mRNA 5'-UTR and 18S rRNA 3'-terminal segment can take place in the course of cap-independent translation initiation. 相似文献

Using a cell-free translation system, we previously demonstrated that the turnover and translation of amyloid precursor protein (APP) mRNA was regulated by a 29-nucleotide instability element, located 200 nucleotides downstream from the stop codon. Here we have examined the regulatory role of this element in primary human capillary endothelial cells under different nutritional conditions. Optimal proliferation required a growth medium (endothelial cell growth medium) supplemented with epidermal, basic fibroblast, insulin-like, and vascular endothelial growth factors. In vitro transcribed mRNAs with the 5'-untranslated region (UTR) and coding region of beta-globin and the entire 3'-UTR of APP 751 were transfected into cells cultured in endothelial cell growth medium. Wild-type globin-APP mRNA containing an intact APP 3'-UTR and mutant globin-APP mRNA containing a mutated 29-nucleotide element decayed with identical half-lives (t 1/2 = 60 min). Removal of all supplemental growth factors from the culture medium significantly accelerated the decay of transfected wild-type mRNA (t 1/2 = 10 min), but caused only a moderate decrease in the half-life of transfected mutant mRNA (t 1/2 = 40 min). We therefore conclude that the 29-nucleotide 3'-UTR element is an mRNA destabilizer whose function can be inhibited by inclusion of the aforementioned mixture of growth factors in the culture medium. 相似文献
