1. Chromatin was prepared from purified nuclei isolated from liver and cerebral regions of the rat. 2. The capacity of these preparations to promote RNA synthesis in the presence of bacterial RNA polymerase was determined. 3. The rate of RNA synthesis on chromatin was normally 12-21% of the rate observed with native DNA, but was markedly stimulated on addition of 200mm-ammonium sulphate. 4. At physiological concentrations (80mug./ml.), the brain-specific S-100 protein inhibited RNA synthesis on DNA and chromatin. 5. Cerebral chromatin from foetal and newborn animals was more active in RNA synthesis than were the analogous preparations from liver. 6. Cerebellar chromatin maintained a high rate of RNA synthesis during brain maturation. In contrast, RNA synthesis on chromatin from other brain regions and liver declined with age of the rat. 7. RNA synthesized on chromatin stimulated amino acid incorporation in an Escherichia coli ribosomal system and hybridized with homologous DNA. 8. RNA synthesized on chromatin from adult cortex or hindbrain hybridized with DNA to a greater extent than that synthesized on cerebellar chromatin. 9. The proportion of RNA formed on cerebral-cortical chromatin that hybridized with DNA increased with age of the rat. 10. The results indicate that the total amount and the types of RNA synthesized on cerebral chromatin vary regionally and during development. 相似文献

In a previous paper (Rake and Edwards, 1987) it was shown that the majority of the chromatin from trisomic mouse cells has
nucleosomes with a smaller repeat length of DNA than the nucleosome repeat length of normal cells. Here it is shown that the
RNA content of the total cell and of the nuclei is the same in all tissues studied, in both normal and trisomic cells. However,
the amount per unit time or rate of RNA synthesis is depressed in the trisomic liver and brain nuclei. The depression of RNA
synthesis could not be specified to the small trisomic section of the chromatin but instead must reflect the overall nuclear
activity. These results, along with those of Devlinet al. (1988), indicate that the trisomic condition alters a substantial part of nuclear organization and activity, not just the
small trisomic part. 相似文献

The role of 5 S RNA within the large ribosomal subunit of the extremely thermophilic archaebacterium Sulfolobus solfataricus has been analysed by means of in vitro reconstitution procedures. It is shown that Sulfolobus 50 S subunits reconstituted in the absence of 5 S RNA are inactive in protein synthesis and lack 2-3 ribosomal proteins. Furthermore, it has been determined that in the course of the in vitro assembly process Sulfolobus 5 S RNA can be replaced by the correspondent RNA species of E.coli; Sulfolobus reconstituted particles containing the eubacterial 5 S molecule are stable and active in polypeptide synthesis at high temperatures. 相似文献

Tubulin messenger RNA has been partially purified from embryonic chick brain. This messenger has been shown to be polyadenylated and capable of directing tubulin synthesis in an heterologous cell-free protein synthesizing system. Phosphocellulose fractions of IF-3 derived from embryonic leg muscle or brain were tested for their effect on tubulin and myosin synthesis in vitro. Phosphocellulose fraction four from either tissue source stimulates tubulin synthesis three fold. Myosin synthesis is enhanced significantly only by the muscle subfraction. This result suggests the existence of specific factors in muscle for the translation of the myosin messenger. 相似文献

It was found that L-DOPA interacts with brain cell chromatin. The life-time of the chromatin-L-DOPA complex is the greatest at 24 degrees C, while at 37 degrees C the destruction of the complex is observed. The specific binding is about 40% at pH 7.4-7.6. The Kd value calculated by the method of Scatchard is equal to 35.10(-9) M. Treatment of the chromatin-L-DOPA complex with DNAase I decreases the chromatin radioactivity by 15-20%. At the same time pronase treatment decreases the chromatin radioactivity by 80%. NaCl (0.2 and 0.4 M) causes the extraction of more than 70% of 3H-DOPA in the complex with chromatin proteins. Thus, L-DOPA interacts predominantly with chromatin proteins. 相似文献

DNA-dependent RNA polymerase I from E. coli has been used as probe for determining the capacity of purified chromatin isolated from inbred and hybrid rats during the course of postweaning development to serve as template for RNA synthesis in vitro. An analysis of variance reveals both strain- and age-specific differences in the incorporation of [3H]UTP into RNA. The ability of inbred chromatin to support synthesis exceeds that of the hybrid at every age examined except 50 days, with values in the inbred line approaching those in the hybrid line with increasing age. These data suggest that template characteristics may vary substantially with regard to strain and age and may contribute to differences in heterotic development. 相似文献

The binding of free radioactive glucocorticoid and the glucocorticoid-receptor complex to rat liver nuclei was studied in vitro. The binding is non-saturated and independent of preliminary injection of the "cold" hormone. In the course of DNA hydrolysis the amount of the radioactive hormone bound to the chromatin moiety in vivo remains practically unchanged relatively to the initial radioactivity of the protein. The liberation of the nuclei into a cell-free medium and the effect of DNAase I on the nuclei are associated with the redistribution of the hormone-receptor complex in the chromatin molecule and with the appearance of new, previously masked acceptor zones of the hormone binding. During the first 1-2 hours following the hormone injection the endogenous RNA-synthesizing activity of the nuclei is decreased. The increase of RNA synthesis in liver nuclei occurs not earlier than 3 hours after the injection. In Zajdela hepatoma nuclei the repression of RNA synthesis persists as long as 3 hours after the injection of dexamethasone. When RNA synthesis is determined in the nuclei in the presence of exogenous RNA-polymerase of E. coli in vitro, the increase in nuclear RNA synthesis can be observed beginning with the 30th min after the hormone injection. It is assumed that this effect is due to conformational changes in the chromatin structure, which are concomitant with the initial steps of association of the hormone-receptor complex. 相似文献

Effect of amphotericin B and nistatin on template activity of nuclear membrane-bound (DNPm) and free (DNPo) dog kidney chromatin after intravenous injections of antibiotics and after the incubation of isolated kidney cell nuclei with the antibiotics is studied. It is found that injections of amphotericin B and nistatin resulted in the increase of DNPo template activity in RNA polymerase system, the stimulating effect of nistatin being higher than that of amphotericin B. Injections of nistatine stimulated also template activity of DNPm, while amphotericin B produced no effect on DNPm. When studing the effect of polyene antibiotics on template activity of DNPo and DNPm in vitro, it is found that the intensity of RNA synthesis after incubation of isolated nuclei with antibiotics is considerably increased, and stimulating effect of nistatin is higher than of amphotericin B. Both antibiotics produced no effect on template activity of DNP in vitro. Thus, comparative analysis of changes in template activity of dog kidney chromatin under the effect of polyene antibiotics in vivo and in vitro has revealed the similarity of these drugs and draws to the conclusion that nistatin and amphotericin B produce a direct effect on template activity of chromatin. 相似文献

Purification and properties of tyrosinases from Vibrio tyrosinaticus 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
Rat liver chromatin which has been briefly sonicated is fractionated by treatment with low concentrations of magnesium ion. At 1.5 mm Mg2+, where approximately 20–25% of the chromatin remains soluble after low-speed centrifugation, chemical and physical analysis of the Mg-soluble and Mg-insoluble chromatin fractions show that the fractions possess markedly different properties. The Mg-soluble chromatin has more protein and RNA than the Mg-insoluble chromatin. The histone composition of the two fractions as shown by electrophoretic analysis is similar, but many of the acidic proteins are qualitatively and quantitatively different. The molecular weight of the Mg-soluble chromatin is less than that of the insoluble chromatin based on sedimentation behavior and gel filtration experiments. The soluble chromatin has nearly twice the template activity for RNA synthesis in vitro with added RNA polymerase as the Mg-insoluble chromatin and contains approximately 80% of the in vivo rapidly labeled RNA found in the total chromatin preparation. In addition the Mg-soluble chromatin has a significantly greater amount of “accessible” DNA (62%) as measured by polylysine binding than Mg-insoluble chromatin (48%). The data suggest that (a) fractionation of chromatin preparations can be achieved by titration with Mg2+, and (b) chromatin soluble in low concentrations of Mg2+ may be enriched in actively transcribed portions of the genome. 相似文献

Optimal conditions for prolonged in vitro synthesis of RNA in isolated chicken liver nuclei have been described. It is shown by incorporation of gamma32P-GTP into RNA, analysis of the product on sucrose density gradient, and digestion with alkaline phosphatase and ribonuclease A that there is reinitiation of RNA synthesis. Polynucleotide kinase activity has been ruled out as explanation for the incorporation of gamma32P-GTP. alpha-Amanitin inhibits RNA synthesis by about 50%. Nuclei prepared from estradiol-treated chicks have twice the RNA synthesis activity as the controls. RNA is synthesized in the presence of Hg-UTP and the mercurated product separated by affinity chromatography on sulfhydryl-Sepharose column under stringent conditions. Vitellogenin mRNA sequences are measured by hybridization with DNA complementary to vitellogenin mRNA. Estradiol treatment leads to a 10-fold increase in vitellogenin mRNA sequences. 相似文献
