A highly sensitive technique for staining DNA and RNA in polyacrylamide gels using silver 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
A technique is described for staining DNA in polyacrylamide gels with silver. It is rapid, requiring about 30 min for whole staining and development procedure, very simple and at least 20 times more sensitive than ethidium bromide for the staining of double-stranded DNA in polyacrylamide gels. This technique can also be applied for the staining of denatured, single-stranded DNA as well as RNA after their electrophoretic separation on polyacrylamide gels, having the same sensitivity as for double-stranded DNA fragments. 相似文献

Poly(A)-containing RNA from polyploid uterine epithelial cells of Ascaris lumbricoides has been isolated by poly(U)-Sepharose chromatography. The bulk of poly(A)-containing RNA migrates as 18-S RNA in formamide/polyacrylamide gels. In a cell-free wheat germ system, this RNA directs the synthesis of a polypeptide with identical migration behavior in dodecylsulphate/urea/polyacrylamide gels as the polypeptide isolated from the proteinaceous eggshell. The two proteins reveal almost identical peptide patterns in fingerprint analysis. The authentic eggshell protein has been identified as a glycoprotein with a molecular weight of about 10000, as determined by dodecylsulphate/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The apparent discrepancy between mRNA length and the required coding length for the protein is discussed. 相似文献

A re-evaluation of the mobility of double-stranded RNA on polyacrylamide gels over a molecular weight range of 0.46-6.3 . 10(6) was carried out using double-stranded RNAs of: bacteriophage ?6; virus like particles or mycoviruses of Penicillium chyrsogenum, Penicillium stoloniferum and Helminthosporium maydis, and reovirus type III. When the relative mobility on polyacrylamide gels was plotted as a function of log molecular weight, a smooth curve could be drawn which passed through all points. The implications of these findings to the determination of molecular weight of double-stranded RNA by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis are discussed. 相似文献

Newcastle disease virus-specific [(3)H]uridine-labeled 18S RNA was resolved by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis into several components with molecular weights from 450,000 to 840,000. The analysis of 35 and 24S virus-specific RNA also revealed several components in each sedimentational class. The conversion of 18S RNA into double-stranded form by hybridization with an excess of unlabeled virion RNA improved the resolution in polyacrylamide gels and revealed at least six distinct components. The same six classes of hybrid duplexes were revealed when (32)P-labeled 50S virion RNA was hybridized with an excess of 18S RNA. The applicability of polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of hybrid duplexes to the analysis of viral genome structure is discussed. 相似文献

Nuclear RNA migrating into isolated mitochondria under appropriate conditions may be reisolated intact. From electrophoretic evidence on polyacrylamide gels it is concluded that the size of the nuclear RNA species migrating into the mitochondria is approximately 9S. 相似文献

A method, called “bidirectional transfer”, has been described for the transfer of DNA and RNA from agarose or polyacrylamide gels onto diazobenzyloxymethyl (DBM)-paper or nitrocellulose filters. The gels were sandwiched between either two nitrocellulose filters or two diazobenzyloxymethyl-papers. Next, the nucleic acids were allowed to diffuse out of the gels onto the filters. In this way, duplicate blots were obtained from a single gel. The bidirectional transfer of DNA or RNA from 0.5 to 1% agarose gels was complete and nearly quantitative after 1 h of transfer. DNA fragments from 5% polyacrylamide gels were efficiently blotted after 36 h onto nitrocellulose filters using bidirectional transfer. The fragments were transferred with good resolution and were shown to be efficient substrates for homologous [32P]DNA probes. 相似文献

Poly(A) molecules containing on average 25, 45 and 90 nucleotide residues are all eluted from DEAE-Sephadex in the presence of 7 M urea by approximately the same NaCl concentration which is higher than that required to elute 4 S and 5 S RNA. The same poly(A) molecules have electrophoretic mobilities on 12% polyacrylamide gels which are proportional to the logarithm of the number of nucleotide residues they contain but not to the number found in 4 S and 5 S RNA, even after denaturation of the RNA and performing electrophoresis in the presence of 2.2 M formaldehyde. As a result, many reported estimates of poly(A) size derived from such techniques are probably too large and need re-evaluation. Corrections are suggested for the use of 4 S and 5 S RNA as molecular weight markers for electrophoresis on 12% polyacrylamide gels. 相似文献

Identification of globin mRNA in 10s RNA of rabbit reticulocytes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
H H Kazazian P A Moore P G Snyder 《Biochemical and biophysical research communications》1973,51(3):564-571
Electrophoresis on 6% polyacrylamide gels splits 10s RNA of detergenttreated polysomes from rabbit reticulocytes into two major bands. After these two RNAs are isolated separately, the first 10s RNA1 directs the synthesis of both α and β chains in the Krebs II ascites cell-free system. In contrast, the second 10s RNA is inactive in directing globin synthesis. This result is further documented by separation of the two 10s RNAs by oligo dT-cellulose chromatography and by isolation of globin mRNA after EDTA-treatment of reticulocyte polysomes. Therefore, globin mRNA containing both α- and β-chain synthetic capacity moves as a single RNA species on electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gels. 相似文献

A method is presented for the isolation of low molecular weight nuclear (LMN) RNAs from small numbers of nuclei. Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) is used to precipitate small quantities of whole nuclear RNA from dilute aqueous solution following phenol-SDS extraction of purified nuclei. No carrier RNA is necessary during the precipitation step. LMN RNAs are separated from whole nuclear RNA by electrophoresis on polyacrylamide gels. No further purification of the RNA is necessary prior to electrophoresis. Both radioactivity and absorbance profiles of the LMN RNAs on the gels can be obtained. Thus, specific activities of labeled LMN RNA species can be estimated. 相似文献

Naegleria gruberi were grown on bacteria and methods were devised to free the cellular RNA from bacterial RNA contamination. Use of actinomycin D and cycloheximide showed that the transformation of Naegleria from amoeba to flagellate required RNA synthesis for 30 min and protein synthesis for 40 min after the initial stimulus of distilled water. Comparison of the patterns of RNA synthesized during transformation with those during growth indicated a considerable amount of new RNA produced during the phenotypic change. Most marked was the increase in RNA co-migrating on polyacrylamide gels with the small ribosomal sub-unit RNA, together with RNAs between the latter and transfer RNA. These results were compared with other published results using axenically-grown cells cells and sucrose density gradient centrifugation. Cells placed in 80 mM NaCl instead of distilled water fail to transform but the pattern of newly-synthesized RNAs was not significantly different from that seen in transforming cells. This suggested that high salt concentrations inhibit transformation by inhibiting synthesis and/or assembly of certain proteins rather than RNA synthesis. Eluted material from various regions of polyacrylamide gels containing RNA extracted from transforming cells was used in a cell-free system. Incorporation of 3H-glutamic acid but not 3H-tryptophan was stimulated by material extracted from the 18S regions of the gels. 相似文献

The ultrasensitive silver staining procedure developed for proteins also stains nanogram quantities of RNA and DNA in polyacrylamide gels. A gradient polyacrylamide gel system is described which separates proteins from 104 to 106 Mr, RNA from 5S to 23S and DNA from 0.4 to 21 Kb. The sensitivity of nucleic acid silver staining in this gel system considerably exceeds that of commonly used DNA and RNA dye-binding stains. 相似文献

The genomic RNA patterns of six different bovine rotavirus isolates were analyzed on high-percentage polyacrylamide gels (12.5, 13.6, and 17.5%). In contrast to the RNA patterns exhibited by conventional gel systems, those on the high-percentage gels showed an improvement in segment resolution which consequently aided in the detection of extensive band splitting in these patterns. The ability to clone out various electrophoretically distinct virus subpopulations from each of the six isolates provided an explanation for the band splitting detected by the high-resolution gels. The significance of the coexistence of genetically distinct rotavirus populations within a single host is discussed. 相似文献

RNase E is a major endonucleolytic RNA processing enzyme in Escherichia coli. We have sequenced a 3.2 kb EcoRI-BamHI fragment encoding the rne gene, and identified its reading frame. Upstream from the gene, there are appropriate consensus sequences for a putative promoter and a ribosome binding site. We have translated this gene using a T7 RNA polymerase/promoter system. We determined 25 amino acids from the N-terminal of the translated product and they are in full agreement with the DNA sequence. The translated product of the rne gene migrates in SDS containing polyacrylamide gels as a 110,000 Da polypeptide, but the open reading frame found in the sequenced DNA indicates a much smaller protein. The entity that migrates as a 110,000 Da contains RNA, which could account, at least partially, for the migration of the rne gene product in SDS containing polyacrylamide gels. 相似文献

A simple protocol is described for the silver staining of polyacrylamide gradient gels used for the separation of restriction fragments of kinetoplast DNA [schizodeme analysis of trypanosomatids (Morel et al., 1980)]. The method overcomes the problems of non-uniform staining and strong background color which are frequently encountered when conventional protocols for silver staining of linear gels are applied to gradient gels. The method described has proven to be of general applicability for DNA, RNA and protein separations in gradient gels. 相似文献

Detection of subnanogram amounts of RNA in polyacrylamide gels in the presence and absence of protein by staining with silver 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The new ultrasensitive photochemically derived silver stain described for polypeptides in polyacrylamide gels (Merril et al., Science211, 1437–1438 (1981)) also stains nucleic acid in polyacrylamide gels. Reovirus genome double-stranded (ds) RNA segments were clearly detected in gels at about 0.03 ng/mm2 with the silver staining technique when either purified virions or isolated, purified dsRNA was analyzed. The silver stain was about 10 to 30 times more sensitive than ethidium bromide for detecting reovirus dsRNA. 相似文献

Isoenzymes of RNase were detected in plant extracts after polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with a new buffer system. The gels were incubated in an RNA solution, then dipped for 30 seconds into 0.2% toluidine blue. The method is rapid and is sensitive to very small amounts of RNase. The effects of buffers and ethylenediaminetetraacetate on the different enzymes are illustrated by photographs and scans of the gels. 相似文献

The anomalous electrophoretic behavior of a 686 base pair restriction fragment containing an in vitro-generated inversion mutation within the enhancer region of a chicken U1 RNA gene was investigated. This DNA fragment migrated with an abnormally slow mobility in polyacrylamide gels but migrated normally in agarose gels relative to the wild type fragment of identical size and base composition. In polyacrylamide gels, the degree of retardation was enhanced at low temperature, a phenomenon associated with bent DNA. A putative site of bending was localized at or near one end of the inverted region. These data suggest that the altered DNA conformation results from the juxtaposition of two normally remote DNA sequences. 相似文献

A procedure is described for the detection of DNA dependent DNA and RNA polymerase activities in intact polyacrylamide gels that contain DNA. After electrophoresis under non-denaturing conditions, the intact gels are incubated with DNA or RNA polymerase reaction mixture in which one of the four deoxyribonucleoside or ribonucleoside triphosphates is radioactively labeled. The acid insoluble radioactivity associated with the intact gel is then analyzed by autoradiography of the intact gel or by liquid scintillation spectrometry of the sliced gel. Inhibition of the enzymatic activities by low molecular weight compounds such as N-ethylmaleimide or rifampin can be demonstrated by this procedure. 相似文献

Preparative two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of 32 P-labeled RNA 总被引:94,自引:0,他引:94
Complex mixtures of RNA molecules may be separated by two-dimensional electrophoresis on polyacrylamide gel slabs. The first dimension of the separation is carried out on acid gels in the presence of a high urea concentration, the second on more concentrated gels buffered at pH 8. The method has been applied to the complete separation of RNA fractions obtained after a preliminary gel electrophoresis of partial enzymic digests of 32P-labeled bacteriophage RNA. Another application is the fractionation of partial digests as obtained in sequence determination of RNA molecules. Spots are detected by autoradiography and extracted by a simple micro procedure which yields the material in a concentrated form suitable for sequence analysis by fingerprinting. 相似文献
