Cytoplasmic poly(A) elongation is one mechanism that regulates translational recruitment of maternal mRNA in early development. In Xenopus laevis, poly(A) elongation is controlled by two cis elements in the 3' untranslated regions of responsive mRNAs: the hexanucleotide AAUAAA and a U-rich structure with the general sequence UUUUUAAU, which is referred to as the cytoplasmic polyadenylation element (CPE). B4 RNA, which contains these sequences, is polyadenylated during oocyte maturation and maintains a poly(A) tail in early embryos. However, cdk2 RNA, which also contains these sequences, is polyadenylated during maturation but deadenylated after fertilization. This suggests that cis-acting elements in cdk2 RNA signal the removal of the poly(A) tail at this time. By using poly(A) RNA-injected eggs, we showed that two elements which reside 5' of the CPE and 3' of the hexanucleotide act synergistically to promote embryonic deadenylation of this RNA. When an identical RNA lacking a poly(A) tail was injected, these sequences also prevented poly(A) addition. When fused to CAT RNA, the cdk2 3' untranslated region, which contains these elements, as well as the CPE and the hexanucleotide, promoted poly(A) addition and enhanced chloramphenicol acetyltransferase activity during maturation, as well as repression of these events after fertilization. Incubation of fertilized eggs with cycloheximide prevented the embryonic inhibition of cdk2 RNA polyadenylation but did not affect the robust polyadenylation of B4 RNA. This suggests that a maternal mRNA, whose translation occurs only after fertilization, is necessary for the cdk2 deadenylation or inhibition of RNA polyadenylation. This was further suggested when poly(A)+ RNA isolated from two-cell embryos was injected into oocytes that were then allowed to mature. Such oocytes became deficient for cdk2 RNA polyadenylation but remained proficient for B4 RNA polyadenylation. These data show that CPE function is developmentally regulated by multiple sequences and factors. 相似文献

Three independent methods of measurement showed that cytoplasmic polyadenylated RNA from the differentiating myogenic cell line L8 consists of two main populations with regard to stability, one with a half-life of less than 4 h and the other with a half-life of 17--54 h. Similar results were obtained in the presence and absence of actinomycin D. During the fusion of mononucleated myoblasts into multinucleated fibers, there was an increase in both the steady-state pool of the more stable polyadenylated RNA and the proportion of stable polyadenylated RNA synthesized in pulse labelling. 相似文献

We have detected a mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV)-specific 1.7-kilobase (kb) polyadenylated RNA in mammary glands of several mouse strains. In BALB/c mice, it is the only MMTV-specific RNA species present. C3H and GR mammary glands and tumors contain, in addition, 3.8- and 7.8-kb MMTV RNAs. Nuclease S1 analysis was performed to map 1.7-kb polyadenylated RNA. It contains predominantly long terminal repeat (LTR) sequences. The 5' end maps approximately 134 nucleotides upstream from the 3' end of the LTR. Colinearity with complete proviral DNA continues to a site about 153 nucleotides downstream from the left (5') LTR. No sequences from the middle part of proviral DNA were found. Colinearity with proviral DNA is resumed 72 nucleotides upstream from the right (3') LTR. The nucleotide sequence in this area is TTCCAGT, which is a splice acceptor consensus sequence. The anatomy of 1.7-kb RNA indicates that it may serve as a messenger for the 36,700-dalton protein encoded by the LTRs of MMTV. 相似文献
