Free and membrane-bound polysomes were isolated from rat liver in high yields with minimal degradation, cross-contamination, or contamination by nuclear or nonpolysomal cytoplasmic ribonucleoprotein. Poly(A)+ RNA fractions isolated from free and bound polysomal RNA (poly(A)+ RNAfree and poly(A)+ RNAbound) by oligo(dT) cellulose chromatography exhibited number-average lengths of 1,600 and 1,200 nucleotides, respectively, on formamide sucrose gradients. Poly(A)+ RNAfree and poly(A)+ RNAbound contain 9.1 +/- 0.55 and 10.7 +/- 0.50% poly(A) as measured by hybridization to [3H]poly(U) and comprise 2.37 and 1.22% of their respective polysomal RNA populations. Homologous poly(A)+ RNA-cDNA hybridizations revealed that greater than 95% of the mass of poly(A)+ RNAfree and poly(A)+ RNAbound contain nucleotide complexities of about 3.4 x 10(7) and 6.0 x 10(6), respectively. This represents about 20,000 and 5,000 poly(A)+ RNA species of average sizes. Heterologous hybridizations suggested that considerable overlap exists between poly(A)+ RNAfree and poly(A)+ RNAbound sequences that cannot be attributed to cross-contamination. This was confirmed by conducting heterologous reactions using kinetically enriched cDNA populations. Heterologous hybridizations involving poly(A)+ RNA derived from tightly bound polysomes and cDNAfree indicated tha most of the overlapping sequences are not contributed by loosely bound (high-salt releasable) polysomes. The ramifications of these findings are discussed. 相似文献

Stored Messenger Ribonucleoprotein Particles in Differentiated Sclerotia of Physarum polycephalum 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Starvation induces vegetative microplasmodia of Physarum polycephalum to differentiate into translationally-dormant sclerotia. The existence and the biochemical nature of stored mRNA in sclerotia is examined in this report. The sclerotia contain about 50% of the poly(A)-containing RNA [poly(A)+RNA] complement of microplasmodia as determined by [3 H]-poly(U) hybridization. The sclerotial poly(A)+RNA sequences are associated with proteins in a ribonucleoprotein complex [poly(A)+mRNP] which sediments more slowly than the polysomes. Sclerotial poly(A)+RNP sediments more rapidly than poly(A)+RNP derived from the polysomes of microplasmodia despite the occurrence of poly(A)+RNA molecules of a similar size in both particles suggesting the existence of differences in protein composition. Isolation of poly(A)+RNP by oligo (dT)-cellulose chromatography and the analysis of its associated proteins by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis show that sclerotial poly(A)+RNP contains at least 14 major polypeptides, 11 of which are different in electrophoretic mobility from the polypeptides found in polysomal poly(A)+RNP. Three of the sclerotial poly(A)+RNP polypeptides are associated with the poly(A) sequence (18, 46, and 52 × 103 mol. wt. components), while the remaining eight are presumably bound to non-poly(A) portions of the poly(A)+RNA. Although distinct from polysomal poly(A)+RNP, the sclerotial poly(A)+RNP is similar in sedimentation behavior and protein composition (with two exceptions) to the microplasmodial free cytoplasmic poly(A)+RNP. The results suggest that dormant sclerotia store mRNA sequences in association with a distinct set of proteins and that these proteins are similar to those associated with the free cytoplasmic poly(A)+RNP of vegetative plasmodia. 相似文献

Antibodies raised against rat plasma apoVLDL and a purified fraction of arginine-rich peptides (ARP) were labeled with Na125I and were shown to bind to polyribosomes isolated from rat liver. Antibody fractions enriched by selective affinity chromatography exhibited increased levels of binding to polysomes. Anti-apoVLDL immunoreactivity was further resolved into anti-ARP and anti apoB components, each reactive with a distinct polysome population. Binding was specific for rat polysomes, and was directed toward nascent polypeptide chains. About 2% of normal rat liver polysomes were recovered by indirect immunoprecipitation with anti-apoVLDL. Ribonucleic acid (RNA) extracted from this immunoprecipitate contained species with polyadenylate (poly[A] sequences characteristic of eukaryotic messenger RNA (mRNA). These species, purified by affinity chromatography on poly(U)-Sepharose, stimulated the in vitro synthesis of immunoprecipitable apoVLDL-like proteins by about 17-fold when compared to unfractionated rat liver mRNA. Most of the in vitro translation products precipitated by purified anti-ARP migrated identically on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with unlabeled purified ARP. Some implications of these findings with respect to plasma VLDL biosynthesis are discussed. 相似文献

Low-molecular-weight peptides are linked to the chromatin DNA of several tissues, from which they can be dissociated by alkaline extraction at pH 9.5. The level of the active peptide fraction ranges between 10 and 35 micrograms/mg DNA. The removal of peptides from DNA causes a relevant amplification of DNA template capacity for prokaryotic and eukaryotic RNA polymerases. Gel filtration on Sephadex G-25 or BioGel P4 shows that the chromatin peptide fraction from purified DNA migrates as a sharp peak with an elution volume corresponding to a molecular weight of about 1000. The chromatin peptides are further purified by Sephadex G-10 and high-performance liquid chromatography. Four active fractions are isolated, one of which shows very high inhibition activity on the RNA synthesis in vitro. The amino acid analysis and the inhibition mechanism of the purified peptides are reported. 相似文献

Accumulation of polyadenylated mRNA during liver regeneration. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Cytoplasmic and polysomal polyadenylated mRNA [poly(A)+-mRNA] increased by 120% prior to the onset of DNA synthesis during the regeneration of rat liver following partial hepatectomy. Despite this large change in cytoplasmic mRNA and an approximately 50% increase in total nuclear RNA, the amount of polyadenylated nuclear RNA increased by only 15--20% during this time. Neither the average size of nuclear or of cytoplasmic polyadenylated mRNA nor the length of their poly(adenylic acid) [poly(A)] tracts changed during liver regeneration. Polysomal poly-(A)+-mRNA increased proportionately more and at a faster rate than rRNA during the first day following partial hepatectomy. Normal livers contained a substantial proportion of cytoplasmic poly(A)+-mRNA not associated with polysomes but this proportion was not altered in 3-h regenerating liver. Thus, in regenerating liver, most preexisting cytoplasmic mRNA does not appear to be recruited into polysomes prior to the substantial increase in the amount of cytoplasmic poly(A)+-mRNA. 相似文献

Polyadenylated [poly(A)+] RNA molecules have been isolated from Methanococcus vannielii by oligodeoxythymidylate-cellulose affinity chromatography at 4 degrees C. Approximately 16% of the label in RNA isolated from cultures allowed to incorporate [3H]uridine for 3 min at 37 degrees C was poly(A)+ RNA. In contrast, less than 1% of the radioactivity in RNA labeled over a period of several generations was contained in poly(A)+ RNA molecules. Electrophoretic separation of poly(A)+ RNA molecules showed a heterogeneous population with mobilities indicative of sizes ranging from 900 to 3,000 bases in length. The population of poly(A)+ RNA molecules was found to have a half-life in vivo of approximately 12 min. Polyadenylate [poly(A)] tracts were isolated by digestion with RNase A and RNase T1 after 3' end labeling of the poly(A)+ RNA with RNA ligase. These radioactively labeled poly(A) oligonucleotides were shown by electrophoresis through DNA sequencing gels to average 10 bases in length, with major components of 5, 9, 10, 11, and 12 bases. The lengths of these poly(A) sequences are in agreement with estimates obtained from RNase A and RNase T1 digestions of [3H]adenine-labeled poly(A)+ RNA molecules. Poly(A)+ RNA molecules from M. vannielii were labeled at their 5' termini with T4 polynucleotide kinase after dephosphorylation with calf intestine alkaline phosphatase. Pretreatment of the RNA molecules with tobacco acid pyrophosphatase did not increase the amount of phosphate incorporated into poly(A)+ RNA molecules by polynucleotide kinase, indicating that the poly(A)+ RNA molecules did not have modified bases (caps) at their 5' termini. The relatively short poly(A) tracts, the lack of 5' cap structures, and the instability of the poly(A)+ RNA molecules isolated from M. vannielii indicate that these archaebacterial poly(A)+ RNAs more closely resemble eubacterial mRNAs than eucaryotic mRNAs. 相似文献

1. Twenty-four hours after the administration of Cd2+ (11 mumol/kg body weight) to rats, the kidneys were removed and the RNA was extracted from the polysomes and used to prepare poly(A) RNA. 2. The poly(A)+ RNA was translated in rabbit reticulocyte lysates containing different labelled amino acids as precursors and the resultant proteins were separated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. 3. The labelling of the proteins was similar using poly(A)+ RNA obtained from control and Cd2+ treated rats except for two proteins. 4. Regardless of labelled precursor used, proteins of mobility in sodium dodecylsulphate electrophoresis of mol. wt 50,000 contained approx twice as much radioactivity using the RNA from the kidney of treated rats. 5. Using labelled leucine, lysine, and cysteine, but not labelled phenylalanine or histidine, proteins of mobility in sodium dodecylsulphate electrophoresis of mol. wt 10,000 contained approx twice as much radioactivity using the RNA from the kidney of the Cd2+ treated rats. These results and the results following carboxymethylation of the proteins prior to electrophoresis, together with the results from co-electrophoresis of the products [125-I]-labelled liver metallothionein support the view that the poly(A)+ RNA contains kidney mRNA for metallothionein. 相似文献

Analysis of acetylcholine receptor clones isolated from a human leg muscle cDNA library, revealed that the alpha-subunit existed as two isoforms. A novel exon, coding for 25 amino acids, was located in the human genomic DNA sequence; its insertion into the alpha-subunit gives the new isoform of 462 amino acids. In addition, mRNAs for the two isoforms were found in equal proportions in poly(A)+ RNA obtained from three further sources including partially denervated and innervated human muscle and the rhabdomyosarcoma cell line TE671. Both protein isoforms can be expressed in E. coli. No evidence of a sequence related to that of the new exon was found in cDNA derived from poly(A)+ RNA isolated from fetal calf or embryonic chick muscle or Torpedo marmorata electric organ. 相似文献

Complex population of nonpolyadenylated messenger RNA in mouse brain 总被引:13,自引:0,他引:13
The complexity of nonadenylated mRNA [poly(A)-mRNA] has been determined by hybridization with single-copy DNA (scDNA) and cDNA. Our results show that poly(A)- and poly(A)+ mRNA are essentially nonoverlapping (nonhomologous) sequence populations of similar complexity. The sum of the complexities of poly(A)+ mRNA and poly(A)- mRNA is equal to that of total polysomal RNA or total mRNA, or the equivalent of approximately 1.7 x 10(5) different sequences 1.5 kb in length. Poly(A)- mRNA, isolated from polysomal RNA by benzoylated cellulose chromatography, hybridized with 3.6% of the scDNA, corresponding to a complexity of 7.8 x 10(4) different 1.5 kb sequences. The equivalent of only one adenosine tract of approximately 20 nucleotides per 100 poly(A)- mRNA molecules 1.5 kb in size was observed by hybridization with poly(U). cDNA was transcribed from poly(A)- mRNA using random oligonucleotides as primers. Only 1-2% of the single-copy fraction of this cDNA was hybridized using poly(A)+ mRNA as a driver. These results show that poly(A)- mRNA shares few sequences with poly(A)+ mRNA and thus constitutes a separate, complex class of messenger RNA. These measurements preclude the presence of a complex class of bimorphic mRNAs [that is, species present in both poly(A)+ and poly(A)- forms] in brain polysomes. 相似文献

A cDNA clone for muscle adenylate kinase was isolated from a cDNA library of chick skeletal muscle poly(A)+ RNA, and the DNA sequence was determined. The cDNA insert had 854 nucleotides, which consisted of the 5'-untranslated sequence of 57 nucleotides, the sequence of 582 nucleotides coding for 194 amino acids, and the 3'-untranslated sequence of 163 nucleotides and the poly(A) tail of 52 nucleotides. The amino acid sequence predicted from the nucleotide sequence was highly homologous with the reported sequences of human, calf, porcine, and rabbit muscle adenylate kinases. RNA blot analysis of poly(A)+ RNA from various chicken tissues revealed a single species of mRNA of approximately 850 nucleotides and its tissue-specific distribution. The induction of muscle adenylate kinase mRNA synthesis during the chick embryogenesis was also demonstrated by the blot analysis. Southern blot analysis indicated a single gene for muscle adenylate kinase in the chicken genome. 相似文献

RNA was extracted from polysomes of sea urchin mesenchyme blastulas and fractionated by affinity chromatography on oligo(dT)-cellulose. The poly(A)+ and poly(A)? fractions were translated in cell-free systems derived from wheat germ and rabbit reticulocytes. The translation products were analyzed by two-dimensional electrophoresis on polyacrylamide gels and found to be qualitatively similar for poly(A)+ and poly(A)? mRNA. Most of the products of cell-free translation have been identified among the in vivo translation products, indicating the fidelity of the translation systems. At least 85% of the poly(A)? mRNA lacks detectable (8 nucleotides or longer) tracts of poly(A). Less than 11% of the poly(A)? mRNA entering polysomes in the reticulocyte lysate contains detectable homopolymers of adenosine. We conclude that the poly(A)+ and poly(A)? mRNA code for the same set of abundant proteins, having isoelectric points between 5 and 7.2 and molecular weights between 15,000 and 100,000. It is possible that some proteins, such as histones, not detectable in our analysis are coded for exclusively by mRNA having or lacking poly(A) tracts. 相似文献
