Sodium butyrate in a 5 mM concentration prevents the induction of tyrosine aminotransferase in hepatoma culture cells, without affecting the basal level of the enzyme. This effect is reversible immediately after the removal of butyrate, or after a lag, if butyrate was present for more than 2 h. Neither the amount of cellular RNA nor the rate of total RNA synthesis were affected by sodium butyrate. Furthermore, butyrate does not inhibit protein synthesis: [35S]methionine incorporation into proteins, measured in a reticulocyte lysate system, shows no significant difference between the translation capacity of the RNAs from butyrate-treated cells and from dexamethasone-induced or uninduced cells. Nevertheless, when tyrosine aminotransferase was isolated from the translation products by its specific antiserum and analyzed by gel electrophoresis, we observed that the amount of the enzyme synthetized in the presence of RNAs from dexamethasone/butyrate-treated cells was strongly diminished relative to that synthesized in the presence of RNA from dexamethasone-induced cells. These experiments indicate that the treatment of the cells with butyrate decreases the activity of the specific messenger RNA for tyrosine aminotransferase to a level close to the basal level. 相似文献

Sodium butyrate, when added in millimolar concentration to a culture of myoblasts of the L6 cell line, inhibits reversibly cell proliferation and differentiation. In the present work, we have studied the effect of Na butyrate on the translational efficiency of the overall poly (A)+ RNA. The mRNA from treated cells was translated in vitro as efficiently as proliferating myoblasts mRNA, while a decrease of translation efficiency was observed with myotubes mRNA. In addition this RNA directs the synthesis of several new polypeptides. on the switch on of alpha actin and myosin heavy chains (MHC), muscle specific genes by the dot blot and Northern blot techniques using cloned probes. Na butyrate prevented the expression of MHC and allowed the switch on of alpha actin gene but at a lesser extent than in normal myotubes. In addition the drug prevented the translocation of alpha actin mRNA into the cytoplasm. 相似文献

We have analyzed the catabolite regulation of cytochrome oxidase by assaying changes in the synthesis of precursors of the nuclear-coded peptides (IV--VII) of cytochrome c oxidase in an in vitro reticulocyte cell-free system programmed with RNA isolated from cells grown in either glucose or raffinose. As a first step, we have characterized antibodies which bind to the precursors of subunits V and VI. Initial translation products for subunits IV and VII have also been tentatively identified by utilizing these antibodies. The messenger RNAs coding for the precursors of the nuclear-coded subunits fall in the expected size range of 8--15 S. Catabolite repression of the nuclear-coded oxidase peptides appears to be regulated by the abundance of their messenger RNAs. Translation of messenger RNA isolated from yeast cells grown on glucose indicates a coordinate and uniform increase in precursor synthesis during glucose derepression. In contrast, when RNA isolated from raffinose (derepressed) grown cells is used to direct cell-free translation, precursor abundance is high throughout growth, although the synthesis of some of the species changes in a complex pattern of ratio and abundance. These data indicate that the abundance of the messengers for the nuclear-coded precursors is regulated in a fashion dependent on the physiologic state of the cell. 相似文献

Total cytoplasmic RNA from bovine parvovirus (BPV)-infected cells or BPV-specific RNA selected by hybridization to cloned BPV genomic sequences were translated in a message-dependent rabbit reticulocyte lysate. Immunoprecipitation, using immunoglobulin G from rabbits injected with purified BPV, resulted in the detection of [35S]methionine-labeled polypeptides with MrS of 80,000, 72,000, 62,000, and 60,000. These in vitro translation products had the same mobility on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels as that of the four proteins found in purified virions. The three largest polypeptides had amino acid sequence homology, as judged by serological methods and partial proteolysis with Staphylococcus aureus V8 protease. Additional noncapsid proteins with MrS of 25,000, 27,000, and 31,000 were also detected as translation products of these RNAs. All of the above species were immunoprecipitated by immunoglobulin G from a calf which was naturally infected with BPV. All four capsid proteins but only one of the lower-molecular-weight polypeptides were detected after the immunoprecipitation of BPV-infected cells. The results presented here indicate that the BPV genome codes for four capsid proteins and a noncapsid protein which may be structurally related to the capsid proteins. 相似文献

The polypeptides encoded in open reading frame (ORF) 1b of the mouse hepatitis virus A59 putative polymerase gene of RNA 1 were identified in the products of in vitro translation of genome RNA. Two antisera directed against fusion proteins containing sequences encoded in portions of the 3'-terminal 2.0 kb of ORF 1b were used to immunoprecipitate p90, p74, p53, p44, and p32 polypeptides. These polypeptides were clearly different in electrophoretic mobility, antiserum reactivity, and partial protease digestion pattern from viral structural proteins and from polypeptides encoded in the 5' end of ORF 1a, previously identified by in vitro translation. The largest of these polypeptides had partial protease digestion patterns similar to those of polypeptides generated by in vitro translation of a synthetic mRNA derived from the 3' end of ORF 1b. The polypeptides encoded in ORF 1b accumulated more slowly during in vitro translation than polypeptides encoded in ORF 1a. This is consistent with the hypothesis that translation of gene A initiates at the 5' end of ORF 1a and that translation of ORF 1b occurs following a frameshift at the ORF 1a-ORF 1b junction. The use of in vitro translation of genome RNA and immunoprecipitation with antisera directed against various regions of the polypeptides encoded in gene A should make it possible to study synthesis and processing of the putative coronavirus polymerase. 相似文献

We have studied the functions of the intracellular RNAs of mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) by purification and translation in vitro. Two major size classes of MMTV RNA, 35S and 24S RNA, were isolated from MMTV-infected rat (XC) cells and cultured mammary tumor cells by preparative hybridization of whole cell or polyadenylated RNA to cloned MMTV DNA covalently bound to chemically activated paper disks (diazobenzyloxymethyl paper). Genomic-length (35S) RNA was prepared free of 24S RNA by rate zonal sedimentation in sucrose gradients. Experiments using [3H]uridine-labeled cellular RNA indicated that the preparative annealing method was highly specific and capable of effecting a 300-fold enrichment for viral RNA; the recovered RNA appeared to be intact under denaturing conditions and directed synthesis of full-length gag and env polypeptides in vitro. The products of in vitro translation were identified by gel mobility, immunoprecipitation tests with antisera against gag and env products, and partial digestion with Staphylococcus V8 protease. The 35S RNA species directed synthesis of several gag-related polypeptides, including three previously reported in extracts of infected cells; 24S RNA directed synthesis of two polypeptides closely related to env proteins from infected cells. Therefore, 35S RNA includes mRNA's for gag and gag-pol, whereas 24S RNA is the mRNA for env. These results help establish the position of env on the physical map of the MMTV genome and bear upon the coding potential of the genome. 相似文献

We have examined the effect of sodium butyrate on the levels of histone acetylation, the pattern of protein synthesis and the inducibility of heat shock polypeptides (hsps) in cultured trout fibroblasts. Maximal levels of histone acetylation are achieved upon treatment of these cells with 5 mM butyrate for 24 h. No significant changes in the pattern of protein synthesis, as detected by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, are apparent under these conditions, although changes in the levels of three polypeptides are seen at shorter times of exposure to butyrate. Heat shock polypeptides are inducible at normal levels in butyrate-treated cells. This is in contrast to the ability of butyrate to inhibit the activation of steroid-inducible genes in some systems. 相似文献

The effect of temperature on the in vitro translation of control and heat-shock poly(A)-rich RNA, obtained from Chlamydomonas reinhardi cells, incubated for 2 h at 25 degrees C respectively, was studied using the wheat-germ translation system. Incubation of the cells at 42 degrees C induces the synthesis of RNAs coding for several heat-shock proteins, including a 22-kDa major polypeptide as well as several proteins of 45-94 kDa, as demonstrated by run-off translation of polyribosomes isolated from intact cells. However, the high-molecular-mass heat-shock proteins are poorly translated in the wheat-germ system. The poly(A)-rich RNA coding for the 22-kDa heat-induced polypeptide has an apparent sedimentation coefficient higher than that expected from the molecular mass of its translation product, and was preferentially translated in vitro at temperatures above 31 degrees C as compared with pre-existing RNAs. Raising the temperature of translation, slightly inhibited (10%) the runoff translation of polyribosomes isolated from intact cells. However, when initiation was carried out in vitro for a short time at increasing temperatures and translation continued at 25 degrees C in the presence of aurintricarboxylic acid, the 22-kDa heat-shock polypeptides was preferentially translated. Aurintricarboxylic acid did not significantly inhibit incorporation of [35S]methionine when added to polyribosomes isolated from control or heat-shocked cells. From the above data we conclude that the translation of the 22-kDa heat-shock protein is controlled in vitro at the initiation level. 相似文献

Total proteins from pericarp tissue of different chronological ages from normally ripening tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. cv Rutgers) fruits and from fruits of the isogenic ripening-impaired mutants rin, nor, and Nr were extracted and separated by sodium dodecylsulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Analysis of the stained bands revealed increases in 5 polypeptides (94, 44, 34, 20, and 12 kilodaltons), decreases in 12 polypeptides (106, 98, 88, 76, 64, 52, 48, 45, 36, 28, 25, and 15 kilodaltons), and fluctuations in 5 polypeptides (85, 60, 26, 21, and 16 kilodaltons) as normal ripening proceeded. Several polypeptides present in ripening normal pericarp exhibited very low or undetectable levels in developing mutant pericarp. Total RNAs extracted from various stages of Rutgers pericarp and from 60 to 65 days old rin, nor, and Nr pericarp were fractionated into poly(A)+ and poly(A)− RNAs. Peak levels of total RNA, poly(A)+ RNA, and poly(A)+ RNA as percent of total RNA occurred between the mature green to breaker stages of normal pericarp. In vitro translation of poly(A)+ RNAs from normal pericarp in rabbit reticulocyte lysates revealed increases in mRNAs for 9 polypeptides (116, 89, 70, 42, 38, 33, 31, 29, and 26 kilodaltons), decreases in mRNAs for 2 polypeptides (41 and 35 kilodaltons), and fluctuations in mRNAs for 5 polypeptides (156, 53, 39, 30, and 14 kilodaltons) during normal ripening. Analysis of two-dimensional separation of in vitro translated polypeptides from poly(A)+ RNAs isolated from different developmental stages revealed even more extensive changes in mRNA populations during ripening. In addition, a polygalacturonase precursor (54 kilodaltons) was immunoprecipitated from breaker, turning, red ripe, and 65 days old Nr in vitro translation products. 相似文献

Overlapping stage-specific sets of numerous small collagenous polypeptides are translated in vitro from Caenorhabditis elegans RNA 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Caenorhabditis elegans synthesizes four morphologically distinct types of collagenous cuticles during its lifetime. We show that in RNA populations isolated early or late during the L4-to-adult molt, chick and nematode collagen DNAs hybridize strongly to RNAs of about 1.2 kb. Different but overlapping classes of correspondingly small collagenous polypeptides (310-460 residues in length) are translated in vitro from these two populations and from RNA isolated at the L2-to-dauer molt. Over 60 different collagenous translation products are identified. These collagenous polypeptides are smaller than mature cuticle collagens and smaller than most vertebrate collagens. They probably represent cuticle collagen precursors and the primary products of the cuticle collagen genes of C. elegans. 相似文献

The synthesis of 69 phage-specific polypeptides during the infection of Bacillus subtilis with bacteriophage SP82 was detected by pulse-labeling, one-dimensional electrophoresis, and autoradiography. SP82 virions were found to contain approximately 22 polypeptides, most of which were synthesized late in infection; evidence was obtained for the processing of the major virion protein. RNAs extracted at different times during infection were translated by using an Escherichia coli cell-free extract. Only smaller-molecular-weight peptides were produced efficiently in vitro; in the 9,000- to 60,000-molecular-weight range, 50 to 60% of the peptides synthesized in vivo were produced by translation of RNAs extracted from infected cells. Eight of the virion peptides were produced by in vitro translation of RNAs extracted from infected cells. RNAs were synthesized under defined conditions by RNA polymerase extracted from uninfected B. subtilis and by polymerases isolated from cells 8 and 20 min after infection with SP82. Translation of these RNAs yielded characteristic and different patterns of polypeptides. Nine of the 12 polypeptides produced by translation of RNAs synthesized by the host polymerase corresponded in mobility to peptides appearing in vivo in the 0 to 3 and 3 to 6 min intervals of pulse-labeling after infection; 12 of the 25 peptides synthesized from RNAs produced by polymerase extracted 8 min after infection corresponded in mobility to peptides detected in vivo 8 min after infection, and 15 of the 22 peptides directed by RNAs made by the polymerase isolated 20 min after infection corresponded to peptides present in vivo late in infection. Five of the peptides produced in vitro from the latter RNA corresponded to virion peptides. 相似文献

The poly(A+)RNA of the free mRNP of mouse Taper ascites cell contains a very reduced number of different mRNA sequences compared to the polysome poly(A+)RNA. By the technique of mRNA:cDNA hybridization we have determined that the free mRNP contains approximately 400 different mRNA sequences while the polysomes contain about 9000 different mRNAs. The free mRNP poly(A+)RNA sequences are present in two abundance classes, the abundant free mRNP class containing 15 different mRNA sequences and the less abundant free mRNP class containing 400 different mRNAs. The polysome poly(A+)RNA consists of three abundance classes of 25, 500 and 8500 different mRNA sequences.Despite its intracellular location in RNP structures not directly involved in protein synthesis the poly(A+)RNA purified from the free RNP of these cells was a very effective template for protein synthesis in cell-free systems. Cell-free translation products of free mRNP and polysome poly(A+)RNAs were analyzed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. This analysis confirmed the hybridization result that the free mRNP poly(A+)RNA contained fewer sequences than polysomal poly(A+)RNA. The abundant free RNP-mRNA directed protein products were a subset of the polysome mRNA-directed protein products. The numbers of more abundant products of cell-free protein synthesis directed by the free RNP-mRNA and polysomal mRNA were in general agreement with the hybridization estimates of the number of sequences in the abundant classes of these two mRNA populations. 相似文献

Epstein-Barr virus gene expression in interferon-treated cells. Implications for the regulation of protein synthesis and the antiviral state 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
This paper presents data on the effects of interferon treatment on Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) gene expression in latently infected Daudi Burkitt's lymphoma cells, and reviews the possible role of viral gene products in the regulation of translation. In Daudi cells the main virally coded RNAs are the small untranslated RNAs EBER-1 and EBER-2, two mRNAs for the DNA binding protein EBNA-1, and a number of small RNAs containing sequences from the BamHI W repeat region of the viral genome. Interferon treatment does not change the qualitative pattern of EBV gene expression but decreases the levels of the EBNA-1 mRNAs. The chromatographic behaviour of EBV-encoded RNAs on CF11-cellulose indicates that many contain double-stranded regions; these RNAs co-purify with RNA that activates the interferon-induced, dsRNA-sensitive protein kinase DAI. Computer analysis indicates that the exons transcribed from the BamHI W repeats have the potential for formation of very stable secondary structures. Many viruses can counteract the inhibition of protein synthesis mediated by the DAI-catalysed phosphorylation of initiation factor eIF-2 and our data suggest that the small RNA EBER-1 may fulfil this function in the EBV system. During the infection and immortalization of B lymphocytes by EBV the synthesis of large amounts of EBER-1 RNA might thus allow the virus to circumvent one of the interferon-mediated mechanisms of host cell defence. 相似文献
