Tubulin mRNAs of Trypanosoma brucei 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
The tubulin genes of Trypanosoma brucei are located in a single, tightly packed cluster of ten tandemly arranged alternating alpha and beta-genes. No tubulin genes are detected outside the clustered array. Therefore, the cluster can be assumed to be the locus of tubulin gene expression. Single bands of alpha and beta-tubulin mRNAs are observed in cultured procyclic as well as in bloodstream trypanosomes. Both alpha and beta-tubulin mRNAs have distinct 5' termini, which carry a 35-nucleotide mini-exon sequence. The 3' termini of both mRNA populations are heterogeneous. 相似文献

Synthesis of mRNA in kinetoplastid protozoa involves the process of trans-splicing, in which an identical 39-41-nucleotide (depending on the species) mini-exon is placed at the 5' end of mature mRNAs. The mini-exon sequence is highly conserved among all members of the Kinetoplastida, nucleotides 1-6 being identical in the four genera so far examined. Prior to trans-splicing, the mini-exon donor RNA is capped by the addition of a (5'-5') triphosphate-linked 7-methylguanosine, followed by modification of the first four transcribed nucleotides. Partial structures have been previously deduced for this cap 4 moiety from Trypanosoma brucei and Leptomonas collosoma. We have purified enough cap 4 from T. brucei and Crithidia fasciculata to allow definitive structural analysis by combined liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. The results, together with the known mini-exon sequence, show that cap 4 in both species has the structure m7G(5')ppp(5')m6(2)AmpAmpCmpm3Ump. The presence of N6,N6,2'-O-trimethyladenosine and 3,2'-O-dimethyluridine, nucleosides previously unknown in nature, were confirmed by rigorous comparison with synthetic standards. The conservation of cap 4 between these divergent genera suggests that this structure may be common to most if not all Kinetoplastida. 相似文献

Several mature mRNAs of Trypanosoma brucei were previously shown to have a common 5' terminal sequence of 35 nucleotides (nt) encoded by a separate mini-exon. To verify whether all trypanosome mRNAs contain this mini-exon sequence at their 5' end, we have tested oligodeoxynucleotides complementary to different parts of the 35 nt leader sequence for their ability to inhibit translation of total trypanosome mRNA. All oligomers tested inhibited translation of trypanosome mRNAs in a wheat germ extract. They had no effect on translation of Brome mosaic virus mRNA and of a trypanosome mRNA for phosphoglycerate kinase modified to remove the mini-exon sequence. Three different 12mers inhibited translation 35-60%; both the 22- and 34mer inhibited translation 95-100%. Incorporation of amino acids decreased proportionally in all protein bands detected in high resolution polyacrylamide gels. Our results show that all trypanosome mRNAs that yield a product detectable in gel contain a mini-exon sequence. We infer that most, if not all, trypanosome mRNAs contain a 5' terminal mini-exon sequence acquired by discontinuous synthesis. 相似文献
