The glycoprotein 71 of ecotropic Friend murine leukemia virus. Structure of the oligosaccharides linked to asparagine-12 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The glycoprotein from Friend murine leukemia virus was digested with protease from Staphylococcus aureus V8. A glycopeptide comprising the N-terminal glycosylation site (Asn-12) was isolated from the mixture of fragments and analyzed by amino acid sequencing and methylation-capillary gas chromatography-mass spectrometry before and after treatment with sialidase from Vibrio cholerae. Asn-12 was thus found to be substituted by a family of partially sialylated, fucosylated, and intersected glycoprotein N-glycans of the hybrid type. 相似文献

The method of aminoacylation and subsequent identification of the esterified amino acids was used to characterize the transfer RNAs in murine mammary tumor virus. Lysine tRNA was the major tRNA in both “free” 4S RNA and “7OS-associated” 4S RNA in virus derived from either tissue culture or mouse milk. 相似文献

Friend erythroleukemia cells display transient and permanent changes in the composition of their plasma membrane-bound glycoproteins during dimethyl sulfoxide-induced differentiation. The transient changes, as revealed by metabolic labeling with [14C]glucosamine, are most conspicuous around the time during which most cells become committed to terminal differentiation. Permanent changes are revealed by reductive tritiation after oxidation with NaIO4 or galactose oxidase. In differentiated cells one glycoprotein fraction (Mr 150 000) could not be labeled by any of these methods, although it does contain neuraminic acid. We found no evidence in support of the hypothesis that the anomalous behavior of this fraction is caused by an increased degree of O-acetylated neuraminic acid in the plasma membrane of differentiated cells. 相似文献

Investigation of xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus (XMRV) in human and other cell lines
Xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus (XMRV) was discovered in human prostate tumors and later in some chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) patients. However, subsequent studies have identified various sources of potential contamination with XMRV and other murine leukemia virus (MLV)-related sequences in test samples. Biological and nucleotide sequence analysis indicates that XMRV is distinct from known xenotropic MLVs and has a broad host range and cell tropism including human cells. Therefore, it is prudent to minimize the risk of human exposure to infection by evaluating XMRV contamination in cell lines handled in laboratory research and particularly those used in the manufacture of biological products. Nested DNA PCR assays were optimized for investigating XMRV gag and env sequences in various cell lines, which included MRC-5, Vero, HEK-293, MDCK, HeLa, and A549, that may be used in the development of some vaccines and other cell lines broadly used in research. The sensitivity of the DNA PCR assays was <10 copies in approximately 1.8 x 105 cells equivalent of human DNA. The results indicated the absence of XMRV in the cell lines tested; although in some cases DNA fragments identified as cellular sequences were seen following the first round of PCR amplification with the env primer pair. 相似文献

Virus-specific RNA sequences were detected in mouse cells infected with murine leukemia virus by hybridization with radioactively labeled DNA complementary to Moloney murine leukemia virus RNA. The DNA was synthesized in vitro using the endogenous virion RNA-dependent DNA polymerase and the DNA product was characterized by size and its ability to protect radioactive viral RNA. Virus-specific RNA sequences were found in two lines of leukemia virus-infected cells (JLS-V11 and SCRF 60A) and also in an uninfected line (JLS-V9). Approximately 0.3% of the cytoplasmic RNA in JLS-VII cells was virus-specific and 0.9% of SCRF 60A cell RNA was virus-specific. JLS-V9 cells contained approximately tenfold less virus-specific RNA than infected JLS-VII cells. Moloney leukemia virus DNA completely annealed to JLS-VII or SCRF 60A RNA but only partial annealing was observed with JLS-V9 RNA. This difference is ascribed to non-homologies between the RNA sequences of Moloney virus and the endogenous virus of JLS-V9 cells.Virus-specific RNA was found to exist in infected cells in three major size classes: 60–70 S RNA, 35 S RNA and 20–30 S RNA. The 60–70 S RNA was apparently primarily at the cell surface, since agents which remove material from the cell surface were effective in removing a majority of the 60–70 S RNA. The 35 S and 20–30 S RNA is relatively unaffected by these procedures. Sub-fractionation of the cytoplasm indicated that approximately 35% of the cytoplasmic virus-specific RNA in infected cells is contained in the membrane-bound material. The membrane-bound virus-specific RNA consists of some residual 60–70 S RNA and 35 S RNA, but very little 20–30 S RNA. Virus-specific messenger RNA was identified in polyribosome gradients of infected cell cytoplasm. Messenger RNA was differentiated from other virus-specific RNAs by the criterion that virus-specific messenger RNA must change in sedimentation rate following polyribosome disaggregation. Two procedures for polyribosome disaggregation were used: treatment with EDTA and in vitro incubation of polyribosomes with puromycin in conditions of high ionic strength. As identified by this criterion, the virus-specific messenger RNA appeared to be mostly 35 S RNA. No function for the 20–30 S was determined. 相似文献

Friend murine leukemia virus clone A8 causes spongiform neurodegeneration in the rat brain, and the env gene of A8 is a primary determinant of neuropathogenicity. In order to narrow down the critical region within the env gene that determines neuropathogenicity, we constructed chimeric viruses having chimeric env between A8 and non-neuropathogenic 57 on the background of A8 virus. After replacement of the BamHI (at nucleotide 5715)-AgeI (at nucleotide 6322) fragment of A8 virus with the corresponding fragment of 57, neuropathogenicity was lost. In contrast, the chimeric viruses that have the BamHI (5715)-AgeI (6322) fragment of A8 induced spongiosis in 100% of infected rats at the same or slightly lower intensity than A8 virus. These results indicate that the BamHI (5715)-AgeI (6322) fragment of A8, which contains the signal sequence and the N-terminal half of RBD, is crucial for the induction of spongiform neurodegeneration. In the BamHI (5715)-AgeI (6322) fragment, seven amino acids differed between A8 and 57, one in the signal sequence and six in RBD, which suggests that these amino acids significantly contribute to the neuropathogenicity of A8. 相似文献

The surface of the extremely thermophilic archaebacterium Methanothermus fervidus is covered by glycoprotein subunits. The carbohydrate moiety of the surface glycoprtein accounts for about 17 mol%. It is composed of mannose, 3-O-methylglucose, galactose, N-acetylglucosamine and N-acetylgalactosamine. From cell extracts the corresponding surgar-1-phosphates and nucleotide activated derivatives of Man, Gal, GlcNAc and GalNAc were isolated. Furthermore UDP-and dolichyl activated oligosaccharides were obtained. On the basis of the isolated precursors a pathway for the biosynthesis of the oligosaccharide chains is proposed.Abbreviations DNP-Glu N-2,4-dinitrophenyl-glutamic acid - Dol dolichol - Gal galactose - Gal-1-P galactose-1-phosphate - GalNAc N-acetylgalactosamine - GalNAc-1-P N-acetylgalactosamine-1-phosphate - Glc glucose - GlcNAc N-acetylglucosamine - GlcNAc-1-P N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphate - Man mannose - Man-1-P mannose-1-phosphate - 3-O-MeGlc 3-O-methylglucose - P phosphate - TCA trichloroacetic acid - TLC thin-layer chromatography - Tris tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethan 相似文献

Suprahelical proviral DNA of AKR xenotropic murine leukemia virus was purified from agarose gels and cloned in lambda Charon 28 DNA (BamHI sites). Nine viral DNA recombinants were identified and mapped with 12 restriction endonucleases. Three calsses of cloned viral DNA inserts were found: (1) Six inserts were apparently full-length 9.0-kb DNA with tandem long terminal repeat (LTR) elements; (2) two inserts contained DNAs with deletions in or adjacent to the LTR regions; (3) a single isolate contained an inversion of 2.3 kb around the LTR in the envelope gene. 相似文献

AKR MuLV 70S RNA was separated on Poly(U)-Sepharose into poly(A) and non-poly(A) containing 34S subunits. The ratio of the two fractions was 2:1, respectively. Both fractions were hybridized to AKR MuLV [3H]cDNA, and the hybrids were assayed by nuclease S1 and cesium sulfate centrifugation. The poly(A) and non-poly(A) subunits hybridized to [3H]cDNA to the same extent (80%), with identical values; and the hybrids of both fractions had identical Tm values (81°C in 0.15 M NaCl). These results demonstrate that the poly(A) and non-poly(A) containing subunits of the AKR genome have identical or very similar base sequences in the heteropolymeric regions. 相似文献

Several porphyrin derivatives were reported to have anti-HIV-1 activity. Among them, meso-teta(4-carboxyphenyl)porphine (MYCPP) and other carboxyphenyl derivatives were the most potent inhibitors (EC50 < 0.7 μM). MTCPP bound to the HIV-1 enveloope glycoprotein gp120 and to full-length V3 loop peptides corresponding to several HIV-1 isolates but not to other peptides from gp120+gp41. However, it remained possible that MTCPP bound to HIV-1 envelop glycoprotein gp120 and to full-length V3 loop peptides corresponding to several HIV-1 isolates but not to other peptides from gp120+gp41. However, it remained possible that MTCPP bound to regions on gp120 which cannot be mimicked by peptides. Further characterization of the binding domain for MTCPP is important for understanding the antiviral activity of porphyrins and for the design of anit-HIV-1 drugs interfering with functions of the virus envelope. Results presented here show that: (i) deletion of the V3 loop from the gp120 sequence resulted in drastically diminished MTCPP binding, suggesting that the V3 loop is the dominant if not the only target site on gp120; (ii) this site was only partially mimicked by full-length V3 loop peptides; (iii) MTCPP binding to the gp120 V3 loop elicited allosteric effects resulting in decreased accessibility of the CD4 receptor binding site; (iv) the binding site for MTCPP lies within the central portion of the V3 loop (KSIHIGPGRAFY for the HIV-1 subtype B consensus sequence) and does not involve directly the GPG apex of the loop. These results may help in designing antiviral compounds with improved activity. 相似文献

Envelope glycoproteins of human immunodeficiency virus (gp120 and gp41) occur as oligomers. Here, we show by gel filtration analysis that gp 120 oligomerizationin vitro is calcium- and temperature-dependent. Recombinant gp120 (rgp120) species were recovered as monomers at 20 °C in the absence of calcium, but as tetramers at 37 °C in 10mm CaCl2. Under the latter condition,N-glycanase-deglycosylated rgp120 formed hexamers. Relative to intact rgp120, which has been reported to display carbohydrate-binding properties forN-acetyl--d-glucosaminyl and mannosyl residues, deglycosylation enhanced rgp120 specific binding to mannose-divinylsulfone-agarose, para-aminophenyl--d-GlcNAc-agarose and fetuin-agarose matrices. Taken together, these results rule out the role of homologous lectin-carbohydrate interactions viaN-linked glycans in the rgp120 oligomerization, even though its lectin properties may also be calcium-dependent. Deglycosylation may unmask domains of rgp120 polypeptide backbone that independently play a role either in rgp120 lectin activity or in calcium-dependent oligomerization. 相似文献

A glycoprotein (GP57) was purified by ion-exchange and hydroxylapatite column chromatography from the 70%-ethanol precipitate of culture medium of non-embryogenic carrot cells (Daucus carota L.) grown with 2,4-dichlorophen-oxyacetic acid (2,4-D). Its apparent molecular mass (M
r) was estimated to be 57000 by sodium dodecylsulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and 50000 by gel filtration. GP57 contained 14% (w/w) carbohydrate; the M
r of the peptide portion was estimated to be 55000 after deglycosylation by trifluoromethanesulfonic acid. GP57 is composed of two polypeptides with the same Mr and with very similar amino-acid composition but different pI values, 8.8 and 9.5. Both are rich in aspartic acid, serine and threonine, and may possess N-linked oligosaccharide chains, including fucose and xylose. A monoclonal antibody (MAb) against the purified GP57 reacted with both the pI 8.8 and the 9.5 components, as well as the deglycosylated GP57. Immunoblotting with the MAb indicated that GP57 is synthesized in and released from cultured cells which have been supplied with auxin. In immunocytochemical studies, GP57 was found in the space between the embryo and the endosperm of dry seeds, and its content decreased during germination. GP57 was also found in the endodermis and epidermis of young roots, the periderm of mature taproots, and the epidermis of petioles and young leaves.Abbreviations 2,4-D

The triangular disk-shaped halophilic archaeon Haloarcula japonica strain TR-1 has a glycoprotein on its cell surface. The complete gene encoding the cell surface glycoprotein (CSG) was cloned
and sequenced. The gene has an open reading frame of 2586 bp, and a potential archaeal promoter sequence approximately 150
bp upstream of the ATG initiation codon. The mature CSG is composed of 828 amino acids and is preceded by a signal sequence
of 34 amino acid residues. A hydropathy analysis showed a hydrophobic stretch at the C-terminus, that probably serves as a
transmembrane domain. The amino acid sequence of the Ha. japonica CSG showed 52.1% and 43.2% identities to those from the Halobacterium halobium and Haloferax volcanii CSGs, respectively. Five potential N-glycosylation sites were found in the mature Ha. japonica CSG, sites that were distinctly different from those in Hb. halobium and Hf. volcanii. The Ha. japonica CSG gene was expressed in Escherichia coli.

Agglutination of S49 mouse lymphoma cells by Ricinus communis I agglutinin can be reversed by the competing haptenic saccharide, lactose, soon after agglutination, but after further incubation in the absence of lectin the agglutination reaction could not be reversed by lactose and the cells remained as multicell aggregates. The irreversibility of S49 cell agglutination was time, temperature and lectin concentration dependent and its onset correlated with ultrastructurally observed deformation of adjacent cell surfaces and an increase in the proportion of adjacent cell surface areas in close apposition within multicell aggregates. Pretreatment of S49 cells with cytochalasin B or cytochalasin B plus vinblastine enhanced R. communis I agglutinin-mediated agglutination, while vinblastine alone and fluoride plus azide had essentially no effect. When drug-treated cells were agglutinated and then incubated in lectin-free drug-containing media for various times prior to lactose addition, the drug effects were more pronounced. Cytochalasin B alone or with vinblastine inhibited lactose reversal of S49 cell agglutination compared to the drug-free controls, while fluoride plus azide enhanced hapten reversibility. Electron microscopic analysis revealed that the onset of agglutination irreversibility correlated with cell surface deformation in the drug-treated cells. Cell aggregates that were more readily reversible by lactose (fluoride plus azide) were unchanged or less deformed, while S49 aggregates treated with cytochalasin B plus vinblastine were more deformed compared to controls without drugs. These experiments suggest a role for cell surface deformability as an important secondary effect during lectin-mediated cell agglutination of 849 lymphoma cells. 相似文献
