Summary The Spec1 and Spec2 mRNAs (Strongylocentrotus purpuratus ectoderm mRNAs) represent a small gene family that encodes 10–12 members of the troponin C superfamily of calcium-binding proteins. These mRNAs and proteins accumulate in the aboral (dorsal) ectoderm of sea urchin embryos and larvae. Using genomic and cDNA clones, we have compared the sequences of four Spec mRNAs: Spec1, Spec2a, Spec2c, and Spec2d. The mRNAs all have at least 120 bases of 5 untranslated leader, approximately 450 bases of open reading frame, and 900 bases (Spec1) or 1250 bases (Spec2a, 2c, 2d) of 3 untranslated trailer. Unexpectedly, when long stretches of 5 untranslated regions or 3 untranslated regions are compared to one another, they are found to be less divergent than the protein-coding regions. Comparing Spec2d, the most divergent member of the family, with the other Spec mRNAs shows that while the protein-coding regions are 60–62% matched, the untranslated regions are greater than 80% matched. Comparisons among Spec1, Spec2a, and Spec2c demonstrate similar but less dramatic conservation of untranslated regions. Our data imply that the Spec gene family has evolved differently from most gene families, with mutations accumulating most rapidly in intron regions, less rapidly in protein-conding regions, and least rapidly in 5 and 3 untranslated regions. 相似文献

Protein kinase CK2 forms complexes with some protein substrates what may be relevant for the physiological control of this protein kinase. In previous studies in rat liver cytosol we had detected that the trimeric form of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 (eIF-2) co-eluted with protein kinase CK2. We have now observed that the ratio between eIF-2 and cytosolic CK2 contents in testis, liver and brain is quite similar, being eIF-2 levels about 5-fold higher than those of CK2. Furthermore eIF-2 was present in liver samples immunoprecipitated with anti-CK2/ antibodies, confirming the existence of complexes containing both proteins. Nonetheless, these complexes would represent only a fraction of total cytosolic CK2 and eIF-2.We had also observed that rat liver membrane glycoproteins obtained through chromatography on wheat-germ lectin-Sepharose contain CK2 activity which copurifies with grp94/endoplasmin. We have now confirmed that this activity was due to the presence of protein kinase CK2 as evidenced by immunodetection with antibodies against CK2/. The fractions enriched in grp94/endoplasmin and CK2 also contained another 55-kDa polypeptide (p55) phosphorylated by CK2 which has been identified as calreticulin by N-terminal sequencing. Calreticulin and grp94/endoplasmin could be partially resolved from CK2 by chromatography on heparin-agarose and almost completely on ConA-Sepharose. However, phosphorylation of immunoprecipitated grp94/endoplasmin was enhanced by its preincubation with purified CK2 prior to immunoprecipitation, what confirms the easy reassociation between these proteins.The association of protein kinase CK2 with eIF-2 and with grp94/endoplasmin may serve to locate the enzyme in the cellular machinery involved in protein synthesis and folding, and reinforces the possible involvement of CK2 in these processes. 相似文献

New 5-alkyl ethoxy- and aminocarbonylphosphonates of 3-azido-3-deoxythymidine (AZT) were synthesized, and their antiviral properties in HIV-1-infected cell cultures and stability to chemical hydrolysis were studied. The AZT 5-aminocarbonylphosphonates were shown to be significantly more stable in phosphate buffer (pH 7.2) than the corresponding ethoxycarbonylphosphonates. The therapeutic (selectivity) index of some of the compounds exceeded that of the parent AZT due to their higher antiviral activity. 相似文献

Original and published data on the antimutagenic role of autonomous 3 5-exonucleases (AE) are analyzed. AE are not bound covalently to DNA polymerases but are often involved in replicative complexes. AE overproduction in bacterial cells is accompanied by a sharp suppression of mutagenesis, whereas AE inactivation in bacteria and higher fungi results in the increase in mutation rates by two to three orders of magnitude. The combined action of AE and DNA polymerases substantially improves the fidelity of their functioning in vitro. The fidelity of nuclease-free DNA polymerases and increases by two to three orders of magnitude in the presence of AE. The fidelity of moderately processive DNA polymerase I increases by two orders of magnitude, and that of highly processive DNA polymerase increases by a factor of 5–10, although both these polymerases possess their own 3 5-exonucleolytic activity. In biochemical experiments, AE was shown to participate directly in the correction of errors made by DNA polymerase I. The presence of AE in multienzyme DNA polymerase complexes increases their fidelity by a factor of 5–10. A model of extrinsic proofreading by AE in DNA biosynthesis is proposed. An investigation of thirty objects from all three kingdoms of life (from archaea and bacteria to mammals, including humans) has shown that AE account for 30–90% of the total cellular 3 5-exonucleolytic activity. Therefore, AE increase significantly the intracellular ratio of 3 5-exonuclease to DNA polymerase activities in a wide phylogenetic variety of species, which always leads to the increasing fidelity of DNA biosynthesis. 相似文献

Summary 2-Amino-2-deoxyuridine reacts efficiently with nucleoside 5-phosphorimidazolides in aqueous solution. The dinucleoside monophosphate analogues were obtained in yields exceeding 80% under conditions in which little reaction occurs with the natural nucleosides.In a similar way, the 5-phosphorimidazolide of 2-amino-2-deoxyuridine undergoes self-condensation in aqueous solution to give a complex mixture of oligomers.The phosphoramidate bond in the dinucleoside monophosphate analogues is stable for several days at room temperature and pH 7. The mechanisms of their hydrolysis under acidic and alkaline conditions are described.Abbreviations A

Summary Several cDNA clones encoding the 33 kDa protein associated with the photosynthetic water oxidation activity of spinach were sequenced. A 1208 bp insert of one of the clones encodes the entire 331 amino acid residues of the precursor protein including 84 amino acids (8.5 kDa) of the amino-terminal transit peptide, 49 bp of the 5 and 111 bp of the 3 untranslated segment of the mRNA. The 3 poly(A) tail starts 19 bp downstream from a putative polyadenylation signal, TATAAA. The hydrophilic mature protein consists of 247 amino acid residues corresponding to an Mr of 26.5 kDa, which is 6.5 kDa smaller than the value determined by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (33–34 kDa), and shows a certain degree of conservation with the putative Mn-complexing active sites of bacterial Mn-dependent superoxide dismutases. The anatomy of the unusually long transit sequence is discussed with regard to current concepts of protein import into and protein routein within the organelle. 相似文献

The preparation of benzyl 2,3,6,2,6-penta-O-benzyl--d-lactoside, which is a key intermediate for chemical synthesis of oligosaccharide components of glycosphingolipids, was achieved by an improved method. The 3-O-p-methoxybenzyl and 3-O-methyl derivatives were prepared from benzyl 2,3,6,2,6-penta-O-benzyl--d-lactoside through stannylation. By using benzyl -d-lactoside as starting material, benzyl 3-O-methyl-, 3-O-benzyl- and 3-O-p-methoxybenzyl--d-lactoside were regioselectively synthesized using the same procedure. 相似文献

The production of 5-IMP and 5-GMP by enzymatic conversion from RNA using a continuous two packed-bed reactor was investigated. 5-Phosphodiesterase (5PD) and 5-adenylate deaminase (5AD) were immobilized in an acrylic resin to produce derivatives with about 15 U/g of support. The kinetic properties of the enzymes were described by Michaelis-Menten models: no significant differences were found in the K
m value of the free and immobilized 5AD (60 and 20 m, respectively), whereas for 5PD the K
m value was one order of magnitude higher for the immobilized enzyme (4.85 mg RNA/ml), probably due to diffusional limitations. Both enzymes remained stable after 8 h of use in a continuous packed-bed reactor whereas the half lives of the free enzymes were 193 min and 240 min at 40°C and 70°C for 5AD and 5PD, respectively. A procedure is proposed for the design of a continuous two packed-bed column process.F. Olmedo and F.

The locations of the 3 ends of RNAs in rat ribosome were studied by a fluorescencelabeling method combined with high hydrostatic pressure and agarose electrophoresis. Under physiological conditions, only the 3 ends of 28 S and 5.8 S RNA in 80 S ribosome could be labeled with a high sensitive fluorescent probe – fluorescein 5thiosemicarbazide (FTSC), indicating that the 3 termini of 28 S and 5.8 S RNA were located on or near the surface of 80 S ribosome. The 3 terminus of 5 S RNA could be attacked by FTSC only in the case of the dissociation of the 80 S ribosome into two subunits induced by high salt concentration (1 M KCl) or at high hydrostatic pressure, showing that the 3 end of 5 S RNA was located on the interface of two subunits. However, no fluorescencelabeled 18 S RNA could be detected under all the conditions studied, suggesting that the 3 end of 18 S RNA was either located deeply inside ribosome or on the surface but protected by proteins. It was interesting to note that modifications of the 3 ends of ribosomal RNAs including oxidation with NaIO4, reduction with KBH4 and labeling with fluorescent probe did not destroy the translation activity of ribosome, indicating that the 3 ends of RNAs were not involved in the translation activity of ribosome. 相似文献

Summary In flower extracts of defined genotypes of Petunia hybrida, an enzyme activity was demonstrated which catalyses the hydroxylation of naringenin and dihydrokaempferol in the 3-position. Similar to the flavonoid 3-hydroxylases of other plants, the enzyme activity was found to be localized in the microsomal fraction and the reaction required NADPH as cofactor. A strict correlation was found between 3-hydroxylase activity and the gene Ht1, which is known to be involved in the hydroxylation of flavonoids in the 3-position in Petunia. Thus, the introduction of the 3-hydroxyl group is clearly achieved by hydroxylation of C15-intermediates, and the concomitant occurrence of the 3,4-hydroxylated flavonoids quercetin and cyanidin (paeonidin) in the presence of the functional allele Ht1 is due to the action of one specific hydroxylase catalysing the hydroxylation of common precursors for both flavonols and anthocyanins. 相似文献

Crude extracts of Rhodospirillum rubrum catalyzed the formation of acid-volatile radioactivity from (35S) sulfate, (35S) adenosine-5-phosphosulfate, and (35S) 3-phosphoadenosine-5-phosphosulfate. An enzyme fraction similar to APS-sulfotransferases from plant sources was purified 228-fold from Rhodospirillum rubrum. It is suggested here that this enzyme is specific for adenosine-5-phosphosulfate, because the purified enzyme fraction metabolized adenosine-5-phosphosulfate, however, only at a rate of 1/10 of that with adenosine-5-phosphosulfate. Further, the reaction with 3-phosphoadenosine-5-phosphosulfate was inhibited with 3-phosphoadenosine-5-phosphate whereas this nucleotide had no effect on the reaction with adenosine-5-phosphosulfate. For this activity with adenosine-5-phosphosulfate the name APS-sulfotransferase is suggested. This APS-sulfotransferase needs thiols for activity; good rates were obtained with either dithioerythritol or reduced glutathione; other thiols like cysteine, 2-3-dimercaptopropanol or mercaptoethanol are less effective. The electron donor methylviologen did not catalyze this reaction. The pH-optimum was about 9.0; the apparent K
m for adenosine-5-phosphosulfate was determined to be 0.05 mM with this so far purified enzyme fraction. Enzyme activity was increased with K2SO4 and Na2SO4 and was inhibited by 5-AMP. These properties are similar to assimilatory APS-sulfotransferases from spinach and Chlorella.Abbreviations APS

To learn if an mRNA·18S rRNA interaction or a special secondary structure in the mRNA start region is essential for translation in eukaryotic cells, we constructed recombinant plasmids with the SV40 early promoter 5 to part of the Escherichia coli tuf B-lacZ gene. Deletion of bases potentially complementary to the 18S rRNA highly increased the transient -galactosidase expressed in transfected CHO cells. Deletion of bases that fostered formation of potential hairpins with the mRNA 5-terminus or altered the structure of the coding region reduced -galactosidase activity suggesting that these features of the mRNA secondary structure may be essential for initiation of translation. Computer aided analysis of the potential structure of 290 mRNAs suggests these are conserved features of the initiation region. 相似文献

Summary We have studied the reactions between adenosine 5-phosphorimidazolide and 9-(2-amino-2-deoxyxylofuranosyl) adenine (I) or 3-methylamino-3-deoxyadenosine (II), both with and without a poly (U) template. We find that both amino compounds react much more rapidly than does adenosine, in the absence of a template. The rate of reaction is greatly enhanced by a poly (U) template in the case of I, but the enhancement is slight in the case of II.Abbreviations A
