Improved method for the isolation of RNA from bacteria refractory to disruption, including S. aureus producing biofilm

The development of fast, reliable and inexpensive phenol protocol is described for the isolation of RNA from bacterial biofilm producers. The method was tested on Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and other biofilm-producing gram-negative microorganisms and provided the highest integrity of RNA recovery in comparison to other methods reported here. In parallel experiments, bacterial lysis with Qiagen, NucleoSpin RNAII, InnuREP RNA Mini, Trizol and MasterPure RNA extraction Kits using standard protocols consistently gave low RNA yields with an absence of integrity. The boiling method presented here yielded high concentration of RNA that was free from 16S and 23S rRNA, contained 5S RNA. Higher yields due to improved biofilm bacterial cell lysis were achieved with an added hot phenol incubation step without the need for a bead mill or the enzyme. This method when used in conjunction with the Qiagen RNeasy Mini kit, RNA isolation was a success with greater integrity and contained undegraded 16S and 23S rRNA and did not require further purification. Contaminating DNA was a problem with the RNA processing samples; we used quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR) to measure the recovery of RNA from bacterial biofilm cells using the method described here.     

Frequency of N-benzyladenine incorporation into major RNA fractions of tobacco cell suspensions grown at stimulatory or cytostatic cytokinin concentration

The frequency of incorporation of the cytokinin N⁶-[p-³H]benzyladenine into major RNA species of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum cv W 38) cells steadily increased as a function of its concentration in the culture medium, up to a 10 micromolar cytostatic overdose. During a 55-hour incubation of cells with 0.4 micromolar benzyladenine (BA), which is the optimal concentration for cell division, the incorporation frequency increased to one BA per 1.5 to 2.0 × 10⁴ conventional bases in total RNA. Frequencies of BA incorporation into 18S and 25S rRNA and into RNA precursors were very similar, 2- to 3-fold higher than the frequency of BA incorporation into the 4S + 5S RNA fraction. In cells incubated with 10 micromolar BA, the rate of RNA synthesis between 24 and 55 hours was lower than at optimal growth conditions; 18S and 25S rRNA synthesis was depressed more than the synthesis of 4S + 5S RNA. At 55 hours, BA was incorporated into total RNA at the steady state frequency of one per 1,300 conventional bases. All major RNA species were BA-labeled to approximately the same level, except that the labeling of the RNA precursors was 2-fold higher than the labeling of mature RNA species. These results may reflect an alteration in the processing of the RNA precursors at supra-optimal cytokinin concentration.     

RNA integrity and the effect on the real-time qRT-PCR performance

The assessment of RNA integrity is a critical first step in obtaining meaningful gene expression data. Working with low-quality RNA may strongly compromise the experimental results of downstream applications which are often labour-intensive, time-consuming, and highly expensive. Using intact RNA is a key element for the successful application of modern molecular biological methods, like qRT-PCR or micro-array analysis. To verify RNA quality nowadays commercially available automated capillary-electrophoresis systems are available which are on the way to become the standard in RNA quality assessment. Profiles generated yield information on RNA concentration, allow a visual inspection of RNA integrity, and generate approximated ratios between the mass of ribosomal sub-units. In this review, the importance of RNA quality for the qRT-PCR was analyzed by determining the RNA quality of different bovine tissues and cell culture. Independent analysis systems are described and compared (OD measurement, NanoDrop, Bioanalyzer 2100 and Experion). Advantage and disadvantages of RNA quantity and quality assessment are shown in performed applications of various tissues and cell cultures. Further the comparison and correlation between the total RNA integrity on PCR performance as well as on PCR efficiency is described. On the basis of the derived results we can argue that qRT-PCR performance is affected by the RNA integrity and PCR efficiency in general is not affected by the RNA integrity. We can recommend a RIN higher than five as good total RNA quality and higher than eight as perfect total RNA for downstream application.

Higher order structure of Balbiani ring premessenger RNP particles depends on certain RNase A sensitive sites

Specific premessenger ribonucleoprotein (RNP) particles, the Balbiani ring (BR) granules from Chironomus tentans salivary glands, were treated with RNase A to study the effect of RNA strand breaks on the higher order structure of the particles. Isolated, radioactively labeled BR granules, known to sediment at 300 S, were digested with RNase A and centrifuged in sucrose gradients. The fractionated particles were subsequently analyzed using electron microscopy and caesium chloride centrifugation. At a low RNase concentration, most of the 300 S particles disintegrated completely, and no metastable degradation products were observed. At intermediate RNase concentrations, no 300 S particles were left, but a minor fraction of the BR granules had unfolded and sedimented at 160 S. These granules could represent particles modified during the RNase treatment or represent a more slowly degrading subfraction of the particles. At a high RNase concentration, no RNP particles at all remained in the gradient. The rapid disintegration of the majority of the BR granules was investigated further by electrophoretic analysis of RNA in the remaining particles. During the RNase treatment BR granules, still sedimenting at 300 S, accumulated strand breaks; in fact, as many as 50 to 100 nicks in the 37 kb RNA could be tolerated. It was concluded from RNA analyses that the disintegration of the BR granules was not dependent on any single nick in the RNA, nor on the accumulation of a certain number of nicks, but rather on one or a few critical strand breaks. We propose that there are organizing sequences essential for particle integrity; once these sequences are nicked, the premessenger RNP particles are rapidly and completely degraded.     

Characterization of a novel small RNA encoded by Dictyostelium discoideum mitochondrial DNA

In this study, we analyzed a mitochondrial small (ms) RNA in Dictyostelium discoideum, which is 129 nucleotides long and has a GC content of only 22.5%. In the mitochondrial DNA, a single-copy gene (msr) for the ms RNA was located downstream of the gene for large-subunit rRNA. The location of msr was similar to that of the 5S rRNA gene in prokaryotes and chloroplasts, but clearly different from that in mitochondria of plants, liverwort and the chlorophycean alga Prototheca wikerhamii, in which small-subunit rRNA and 5S rRNA genes are closely linked. The primary sequence of ms RNA showed low homology with mitochondrial 5S rRNA from plants, liverwort and the chlorophycean alga, but the proposed secondary structure of ms RNA was similar to that of cytoplasmic 5S rRNA. In addition, ms RNA showed a highly conserved GAAC sequence in the same loop as in common 5S rRNA. However, ms RNA was detected mainly in the mitochondrial 25?000?×?g supernatant fraction which was devoid of ribosomes. It is possible that ms RNA is an evolutionary derivative of mitochondrial 5S rRNA.     

Stabilization of 30 S ribosomal subunits of Bacillus subtilis W168 by spermidine and magnesium ions

An explanation for the fragility of 30 S ribosomal subunits of Bacillus subtilis has been studied. Degradation of 16 S ribosomal RNA, rather than degradation of ribosomal proteins, was found to cause the inactivation of 30 S subunits. Although RNAases were bound specifically to 30 S ribosomal subunits, the RNAases were able to function. Spermidine was found to contribute to the stabilization of 30 S ribosomal subunits by inhibiting the degradation of 16 S ribosomal RNA. A high concentration of Mg²⁺ also stabilized the 30 S ribosomal subunits of Bacillus subtilis. The polypeptide synthetic activity of 30 S ribosomal subunits prepared in the presence of spermidine was at least 4-times greater than that of 30 S ribosomal subunits prepared in the absence of spermidine; this activity was maintained without any loss for 3 months at ?70°C.
