We have measured the turnover rate of ribosomal RNA in exponentially growing Tetrahymena thermophila cells, cells entering the plateau phase of growth, and nutrient-deprived (starved) cells. Ribosomal RNA is stable in cells in early log phase growth but it begins to turnover as the cells begin a deceleratory growth phase prior to entering a plateau state. Likewise, rRNA in cells transferred from early log phase growth to a starvation medium begins to be degraded immediately upon starvation. In both cases the degradation of rRNA exhibits biphasic kinetics. A rapid initial exponential degradation with a half time of nine and one-half hours lasting for six hours is followed by a slower exponential degradation with a half-life of 35 hours. When starved cells are transferred to fresh growth medium turnover of rRNA ceases. The evidence presented suggests that the alteration in degradation rate is a regulated process which is most likely independent of the cell cycle. 相似文献

Carbon starvation induces the development of a starvation- and stress-resistant cell state in marine Vibrio sp. strain S14 (CCUG 15956). The starved cells remain highly responsive to nutrients during prolonged starvation and exhibit instantaneous severalfold increases in the rates of protein synthesis and RNA synthesis when substrate is added. In order to elucidate the physiological basis for the survival of cells that are starved for a long time, as well as the capacity of these cells for rapid and efficient recovery, we analyzed the ribosome content of carbon-starved Vibrio sp. strain S14 cells. By using direct chemical measurements of the amounts of ribosomal particles in carbon-starved cultures, we demonstrated that ribosomes were lost relatively slowly (half life, 79 h) and that they existed in large excess over the apparent demand for protein synthesis. After 24 h of starvation the total rate of protein synthesis was 2.3% of the rate during growth, and after 3 days this rate was 0.7% of the rate during growth; the relative amounts of ribosomal particles at these times were 81 and 52%, respectively. The ribosome population consisted of 90% 70S monoribosomes, and no polyribosomes were detected in the starved cells. The 70S monoribosomes were responsible for the bulk of the protein synthesis during carbon starvation; some activity was also detected in the polyribosome size region on sucrose density gradients. We suggest that nongrowing carbon-starved Vibrio sp. strain S14 cells possess an excess protein synthesis capacity, which may be essential for their ability to immediately initiate an upshift program when substrate is added. 相似文献

Protein synthesis across kingdoms involves the assembly of 70S (prokaryotes) or 80S (eukaryotes) ribosomes on the mRNAs to be translated. 70S ribosomes are protected from degradation in bacteria during stationary growth or stress conditions by forming dimers that migrate in polysome profiles as 100S complexes. Formation of ribosome dimers in Escherichia coli is mediated by proteins, namely the ribosome modulation factor (RMF), which is induced in the stationary phase of cell growth. It is reported here a similar ribosomal complex of 110S in eukaryotic cells, which forms during nutrient starvation. The dynamic nature of the 110S ribosomal complex (mammalian equivalent of the bacterial 100S) was supported by the rapid conversion into polysomes upon nutrient-refeeding via a mechanism sensitive to inhibitors of translation initiation. Several experiments were used to show that the 110S complex is a dimer of nontranslating ribosomes. Cryo-electron microscopy visualization of the 110S complex revealed that two 80S ribosomes are connected by a flexible, albeit localized, interaction. We conclude that, similarly to bacteria, rat cells contain stress-induced ribosomal dimers. The identification of ribosomal dimers in rat cells will bring new insights in our thinking of the ribosome structure and its function during the cellular response to stress conditions. 相似文献

Ribosomes have different conformations in cells that are starved for a required amino acid (giving aminoacyl.tRNA starvation), or treated with kirromycin (blocking EF-Tu.GDP release), or are in exponential growth. A tunnel spans the 50S ribosome from a location facing the 70S ribosomal intersubunit space to the back side of the subunit inEscherichia colicells. Here we have analyzed the internal low density region that corresponds to this tunnel in ribosomesin vivo.The data suggest that the tunnel is opened in connection with spatial separation of the subunits in ribosomes that have an empty A-site due to starvation for aminoacyl.tRNA. A region that corresponds to this tunnel can be found in the more compact structure of ribosomes in kirromycin-treated cells only after a substantial removal of low density material. This region is even less prominent in ribosomes in undefined working modes in growing bacteria. The data suggest that appearance of the tunnel through the 50S ribosomal subunit is working-mode dependent and it is not a characteristic feature of the major fraction of the ribosomal population in growing cells. 相似文献

We have examined the ribosomal structural proteins isolated from vegetatively growing Tetrahymena pyriformis and from cells that had been starved of all nutrients for 24 h. Reproducible, nonartifactual differences in protein complement, primarily associated with the large ribosomal subunit, were found. The kinetics of change in ribosomal protein complement were followed both in refed and in newly starved cells. Furthermore, attempts at correlating a certain protein "phenotype" with a particular functional state of the ribosome were made. It was concluded that the alterations seen could not be correlated with a specific stage in the normal ribosome cycle. We did show, however, that the change in protein complement could occur as a result of altering preexisting ribosomes. In addition, we showed that the change correlates with a decrease in growth rate rather than being caused by the starvation conditions themselves. Speculations as to the functional significance of the protein changes are presented. 相似文献

Ribosomal RNAs are generally stable in growing Escherichia coli cells. However, their degradation increases dramatically under conditions that lead to slow cell growth. In addition, incomplete RNA molecules and molecules with defects in processing, folding, or assembly are also eliminated in growing cells in a process termed quality control. Here, we show that there are significant differences between the pathways of ribosomal RNA degradation during glucose starvation and quality control during steady-state growth. In both processes, endonucleolytic cleavage of rRNA in ribosome subunits is an early step, resulting in accumulation of large rRNA fragments when the processive exoribonucleases, RNase II, RNase R, and PNPase are absent. For 23S rRNA, cleavage is in the region of helix 71, but the exact position can differ in the two degradative processes. For 16S rRNA, degradation during starvation begins with shortening of its 3' end in a reaction catalyzed by RNase PH. In the absence of this RNase, there is no 3' end trimming of 16S rRNA and no accumulation of rRNA fragments, and total RNA degradation is greatly reduced. In contrast, the degradation pattern in quality control remains unchanged when RNase PH is absent. During starvation, the exoribonucleases RNase II and RNase R are important for fragment removal, whereas for quality control, RNase R and PNPase are more important. These data highlight the similarities and differences between rRNA degradation during starvation and quality control during steady-state growth and describe a role for RNase PH in the starvation degradative pathway. 相似文献

Influence of growth rate and starvation on fluorescent in situ hybridization of Rhodopseudomonas palustris 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
In situ hybridization with a fluorescently labeled 16S rRNA-targeted probe was examined using Rhodopseudomonas palustris as a model organism, which had been grown at different rates and under different conditions of growth and starvation. The specific growth rate did not affect the percentage of hybridized cells in aerobically grown R. palustris cultures. However, significant changes in the percentage of hybridized cells occurred during extended periods of starvation. These changes were observed both in batch cultures grown and starved aerobically in the dark, and in cultures grown phototrophically and starved anaerobically in the dark. Aerobic growth in batch culture and subsequent starvation resulted in a complete lack of detectable hybridization after 20 days of starvation. In contrast, even after 30 days of starvation, 50% of all cells were still detectable in cultures grown aerobically at growth rates <0.06 h(-1) and then starved aerobically in the dark. The same was true for phototrophically grown cells that were starved anaerobically in the light. During starvation there was a clear, though non-linear, positive correlation between the percentage of hybridized cells and the RNA content. In contrast, no direct correlation was observed between the number of hybridized cells in a culture and the viability of this culture. Thus, in habitats with growing, non-growing, and starving bacteria, data on quantitative detection of populations based on 16S rRNA-targeted probing should be used with extreme caution as the detectability of the individual cells is strongly influenced by their physiological history and current physiological state. 相似文献

Energy homeostasis is an essential characteristic of all organisms, requiring fluctuation in energy accumulation, mobilization, and exchange with the external environment. In insects, energy mobilization is under control of the lipase brummer (bmm), which regulates nutritional status by hydrolyzing the ester bonds in triacylglycerol (TAG). In the present study, we investigated the role of bmm in the lipid mobilization and starvation resistance in the brown planthopper (BPH; Nilaparvata lugens), which is economically one of the most important rice pests in Asia. A severe decrease in TAG and glyceride contents was observed in the starved BPHs, while there was a partial rescue after refeeding. The starvation condition caused a significant increase in the expression levels of Nlbmm, and supplement of food after starvation dramatically reduced the Nlbmm expression. Sucrose rescue after starvation significantly suppressed the expression of Nlbmm, while caused an accumulation of TAG and glyceride. Knockdown of Nlbmm by double‐stranded RNA treatment extended the lifespan to starvation, whereas it increased the level of TAG and glyceride in the BPHs. The decreased lipolysis rate by dsNlbmm‐treated BPHs eventually resulted in increase of starvation resistance. These data demonstrated that the regulation of energy homeostasis by Nlbmm affects starvation resistance, probably through lipid mobilization control in N. lugens. 相似文献

Ribosomes are essential components of all cells. A large body of knowledge has been accumulated regarding ribosome synthesis and assembly; however, the pathways of normal ribosome turnover, especially rRNA decay, are not known. Some information on ribosome recycling derives from studies on starved yeast cells that use a specialized type of autophagy, called ribophagy, to differentially target ribosomes for degradation. We found that Arabidopsis RNS2, a conserved ribonuclease of the RNase T2 family, is necessary for normal decay of rRNA. Mutants lacking RNS2 activity have longer-lived rRNA, accumulate RNA in the vacuole and show constitutive macroautophagy. Thus, it is clear that normal rRNA decay is necessary to maintain cellular homeostasis. These phenotypes and the subcellular localization of RNS2 in the endoplasmic reticulum and the vacuole suggest that RNS2 participates in a ribophagy-like mechanism that targets ribosomes for recycling under normal growth conditions. 相似文献

1. When washed suspensions of Sarcina lutea are starved aerobically in phosphate buffer at the growth temperature of 37 degrees , the rate of endogenous oxygen consumption decreases to very low values after 10hr., although many of the cells survive for 40hr. If starvation is prolonged further, the bacteria die at a rate of approximately 1.5% of the initial viable population per hour. 2. Oxidation of intracellular free amino acids accounts for most of the observed endogenous oxygen uptake but RNA is also utilized and a portion of the component bases and pentose is degraded and presumably oxidized. Ammonia appears in the supernatant and some pentose and ultraviolet-absorbing nucleotide are released from the cells. DNA, protein and polysaccharide are not measurably degraded. 3. Survival can be correlated with the ability of aerobically starved bacteria to oxidize exogenous l-glutamate and glucose. When starved under nitrogen for 40hr. cells continue to oxidize their endogenous reserves at undiminished rates when transferred to aerobic conditions; on prolonging anaerobic starvation the rate of oxidation declines during the period of most rapid loss of viability. 4. In the presence of Mg(2+), RNA degradation during aerobic starvation is almost completely suppressed without affecting the period for which the bacteria survive. 5. Cells grown in peptone supplemented with glucose accumulate reserves of polysaccharide which are metabolized in aerobic starvation, together with free amino acids. Ammonia is evolved and RNA is degraded to a greater extent than in peptone-grown suspensions. Bacteria rich in polysaccharide survive less well than those which are deficient in the polymer; the reason for this phenomenon has yet to be established. 6. In peptone medium, endogenous oxygen uptake and the concentration of intracellular free amino acids decline as growth progresses and they continue to decrease when the organism is held in stationary phase. Under the conditions used, the endogenous Q(o2) and free amino acid pool of cells grown in peptone with 2% (w/v) glucose did not decline so markedly and the bacteria contained large amounts of polysaccharide at all stages of growth. 相似文献

Polysomes were extracted from Bacillus subtilis cells starved for a required amino acid. The monosome peak appeared soon after starvation; no difference in the rate of degradation was detected when the cells were starved for arginine or tryptophan in a double auxotroph. RNA production during starvation was not inhibited by actinomycin, but the molecular weight of the product made in the presence of the antibiotic was much lower. Indications that stable messenger ribonucleic acid is present for up to 90 min after amino acid starvation are also presented. 相似文献

Summary Diploid strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, each homozygous for one of the temperature sensitive mutations rna2, rna4, rna6 or rna8, are temperature sensitive for ribosome synthesis during vegetative growth, but are not inhibited for ribosomal synthesis at the restrictive temperature under sporulation conditions. The continued ribosome biosynthesis at the restrictive temperature (34° C) during sporulation includes de novo synthesis of both ribosomal RNA and ribosomal proteins. This lack of inhibition of ribosome biosynthesis is found even when cells committed to complete sporulation are returned to vegetative growth medium. The ribosomes synthesized at 34° C are apparently functional, as they are found in polyribosomes. Although the rna mutants do not regulate ribosome synthesis during sporulation, all of these diploid strains fail to complete sporulation at 34° C. The cells are arrested after the second meiotic nuclear division but before ascus formation. The failure to complete sporulation at the restrictive temperature and the inhibition of ribosome biosynthesis during growth are caused by the same mutation, because revertants selected for temperature independent growth were also able to sporulate at 34° C. 相似文献
