A large 12S RNA fragment which constitutes the 5' two-thirds of 16S-RNA from the E. coli 30S subunit has been investigated by small-angle X-ray and neutron scattering. The results indicate that in reconstitution buffer the 12S-RNA fragment has a molecular weight of 270,000 +/- 20,000 and a radius of gyration of 7.1 nm. The scattering data are compatible with the RNA being folded into two major domains with the shapes of two adjacent, quite similar cylinders. 相似文献

The apparent distances between probes covalently attached to the cysteine thiols of S1 or S21 and the 3' end of 16S RNA in Escherichia coli 30S ribosomal subunits were determined by non-radiative energy transfer to be: S21-16S RNA, 5.1 nm; S21-S1, 6.9 nm; S1-16S RNA, 6.8 nm. Binding of poly(uridylic acid) to 30S subunits causes the apparent distances between S1 and 16S RNA or S21 and 16S RNA to increase by more than 1.2 nm and 0.5 nm, respectively, but has little or no effect on the S1-S21 distance. Binding of 50S subunits causes an apparent increase in the S21-16S RNA and S21-S1 distances by 1.0 nm and 0.8 nm, respectively, but has little or no effect on the S1-16S-RNA distance. 相似文献

Summary The effect of -amanitin on the synthesis of AMP-rich RNA has been investigated. After incubation of freely suspended callus cells of parsley with the toxin and pulse labelling (30 min) with 32P-orthophosphate, the high AMP content of the RNA component eluted from MAK columns behind the 25 S-RNA disappears. The base ratio of this RNA becomes ribosomal (CMP 20.1, AMP 26.5, GMP 28.4, UMP 25.0). Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the high molecular RNA shows that radioactivity is incorporated only into the 32 S-RNA. At higher -amanitin concentrations the total nucleic acid synthesis is reduced. In this case only the high molecular RNA (32 S-RNA) is produced. 相似文献

Summary The idea has been tested here that the aberration in amino acid controlled regulation of RNA synthesis in a mutant strain ofE. coli might reflect a major breakdown in the specificity of transfer of amino acids to S-RNA. For this purpose, S-RNA and amino acid activating enzymes were extracted from bacteria carrying either the normalRC
st or the aberrantRC
rel allele of the RNA control gene. The purified S-RNA preparations were first charged enzymatically with one or more of the 20 standard amino acids, then oxidized with periodate, and finally reisolated and retested for their residual capacity to accept an amino acid that was absent from the preliminary charging mixture. If preliminary charging transferred an amino acid to a non-cognate S-RNA species belonging to an absent amino acid, then the acceptor capacity for the missing amino acid would survive periodate oxidation and reveal its presence on recharging with that amino acid after post-periodate reisolation of the S-RNA. The results presented here show that there does not appear to exist any such major breakdown of transfer specificity in eitherRC
st orRC
rel bacteria: preliminary charging of the S-RNA fromRC
rel bacteria with 19 of the 20 standard amino acids by use of the homologous amino acid activating enzymes does not afford protection against periodate oxidation for any appreciable fraction of the acceptor capacity for the absent 20th amino acid (when that amino acid is either methionine or arginine). It is unlikely, therefore, that thecatholic inducer, postulated to explain the continued RNA synthesis ofRC
rel amino acid auxotrophs in the absence of their growth requirement, is one of the 20 standard amino acids.This investigation was supported by Public Health Service Research Grant CA 02129, from the National Cancer Institute. 相似文献

Summary Cell-free translation of salivary gland RNA or of purified Balbiani ring RNA (75S) in a reticulocyte lysate system gives rise to high molecular weight translational products (HMTP). In addition to a common size (approx. 1×106 daltons) HMTP share imunogenic determinants with the giant secretory proteins of salivary glands. This suggests that HMTP correspond to in vivo secreted proteins and thus, corroborates the notion that 75S-RNA is the messenger for these proteins. The time course of HMTP synthesis and the lack of appearance of lower molecular weight components as translational products of 75S-RNA indicate that the synthesis of HMTP (and of secretory proteins) occurs in one piece by an uninterrupted process. HMTP are regarded the largest polypeptides so far synthesized in a cell-free system. 相似文献

Abstract The synthesis of Tc-99m-labeled, modified RNA is reported. This new class of radiopharmaceuticals is of potential interest as target specific imaging agents. The preparation of N3S-RNA was achieved by coupling protected MAG2-units to amino modified ON's. The N3S-RNA was Tc-99m-labeled with 90–95% radiochemical yield and specific activities of 37MBq/nmol leading to 1:1-Tc-99m-N3S-aptamers. 相似文献

We performed 3′ RNA sequence analyses of [32P]pCp-end-labeled La Crosse (LAC) virus, alternate LAC virus isolate L74, and snowshoe hare bunyavirus large (L), medium (M), and small (S) negative-stranded viral RNA species to determine the coding capabilities of these species. These analyses were confirmed by dideoxy primer extension studies in which we used a synthetic oligodeoxynucleotide primer complementary to the conserved 3′-terminal decanucleotide of the three viral RNA species (Clerx-van Haaster and Bishop, Virology 105:564-574, 1980). The deduced sequences predicted translation of two S-RNA gene products that were read in overlapping reading frames. So far, only single contiguous open reading frames have been identified for the viral M- and L-RNA species. For the negative-stranded M-RNA species of all three viruses, the single reading frame developed from the first 3′-proximal UAC triplet. Likewise, for the L-RNA of the alternate LAC isolate, a single open reading frame developed from the first 3′-proximal UAC triplet. The corresponding L-RNA sequences of prototype LAC and snowshoe hare viruses initiated open reading frames; however, for both viral L-RNA species there was a preceding 3′-proximal UAC triplet in another reading frame that was followed shortly afterward by a termination codon. A comparison of the sequence data obtained for snowshoe hare virus, LAC virus, and the alternate LAC virus isolate showed that the identified nucleotide substitutions were sufficient to account for some of the fingerprint differences in the L-, M-, and S-RNA species of the three viruses. Unlike the distribution of the L- and M-RNA substitutions, significantly fewer nucleotide substitutions occurred after the initial UAC triplet of the S-RNA species than before this triplet, implying that the overlapping genes of the S RNA provided a constraint against evolution by point mutation. The comparative sequence analyses predicted amino acid differences among the corresponding L-, M-, and S-RNA gene products of snowshoe hare virus and the two LAC virus isolates. 相似文献

24 hours after administration of hydroxythiamine (vitamin B1 antimetabolite) in a dose of 40 mg per 100 g of body weight, the incorporation of (2(14)C)-orotic acid and (methyl-14C)-methionine into total nuclear RNA decreases. The content of RNA and the specific radioactivity of cytoplasmic UTP and methionine pools remain unchanged. Thermal phenol fractionation of nuclear RNA reveals a decrease in a predominant synthesis of nucleolar RNA, while that of heterogeneous nuclear RNA, tRNA, and 5S-RNA remains unaffected. 相似文献

A 5S-rRNA-containing ribonucleoprotein was purified to homogeneity from a rabbit muscle extract through its affinity to phosphofructokinase-1 and then structurally characterized. This RNP was compared to the 5S-rRNA-containing ribonucleoprotein extracted from rabbit liver ribosomal 60S subunits with EDTA. Analytical gel filtration revealed a molecular mass of 70-80 kDa for both complexes. Gel electrophoresis of the ribosomal complex revealed three protein components, one migrating as a band of 35 kDa and two other small polypeptides of apparently 16.5 kDa and 17.5 kDa. In the sarcoplasmic RNP these small polypeptides were absent. However, besides a major component of 35 kDa, up to five slightly larger and smaller species of 31.5-36.5 kDa were detected. Despite this heterogeneity, only one N-terminal amino acid sequence was obtained for the isolated sarcoplasmic protein, suggesting a C-terminal heterogeneity of one single polypeptide. Within the first 46 amino acid residues no difference between the sequences of the isolated 35-kDa components of sarcoplasmic and ribosomal complexes was found. Homology criteria indicated that this component belongs to the ribosomal protein L5 family. The RNA was identified by complete enzymatic sequencing as 5S rRNA; it was also identical in both complexes and is strongly homologous to 5S rRNA of man. Both L5-5S-RNA complexes could be resolved by hydroxyapatite chromatography into three species still consisting of both protein and RNA. 5'-Terminal dephosphorylation experiments showed that this heterogeneity is exclusively due to the differing number (1-3) of 5'-terminal phosphates. The two additional low-molecular-mass proteins were stably associated to the ribosomal RNP at high salt concentrations in a stoichiometry of about 2:1. They were identified as the acidic phosphoproteins P2/P3 by N-terminal sequencing. High phosphate concentrations facilitated their dissociation from the L5-5S-RNA complex. For the sarcoplasmic L5-5S-RNA complex a hitherto unknown interaction with phosphofructokinase-1, affecting the enzymatic properties, was demonstrated. 相似文献

[3H]Dihydrostreptomycin was cross-linked to the 30S ribosomal subunit from Escherichia coli with the bifunctional reagent nitrogen mustard. The cross-linking primarily involved the 16S RNA. To localize the site of cross-linking of streptomycin to the 16S RNA, we hybridized RNA labeled with streptomycin to restriction fragments of the 16S RNA gene. Labeled RNA hybridized to DNA fragments corresponding to bases 892-917 and bases 1394-1415. These two segments of the ribosomal RNA must be juxtaposed in the ribosome, since there is a single binding site for streptomycin. This region has been implicated both in the decoding site and in the binding of initiation factor IF-3, indicating its functional importance. 相似文献

An mRNA-dependent reticulocyte lysate has been used to translate foot-and-mouth disease virus RNA in vitro. Polypeptides P16, P20a, and P88, which have been shown to be derived from the 5' end of the RNA by pactamycin mapping experiments with infected cells, were preferentially synthesized in vitro. Removal of VPg, the small protein covalently linked to the 5' end of the genome RNA, had no effect on the translation of the RNA. The two RNA fragments (L and S) produced by specific digestion of the polycytidylic acid [poly(C)] tract with RNase H were also translated in vitro. The L fragment, consisting of RNA to the 3' side of the poly(C) tract and including the polyadenylic acid [poly(A)] tract, directed the synthesis of the same products as those made by full-length RNA. However, no small defined products were produced when the S fragment, which contains the 5' end of the RNA, was translated. These results show that the major initiation site for protein synthesis on foot-and-mouth disease virus RNA is to the 3' side of the poly(C) tract. Furthermore, the use of N-formyl [35S]methionine tRNAfMet as a label for the initiation peptides showed that the major polypeptide labeled in lysates primed with both full-length RNA and the L fragment was P16, i.e., the protein nearest the initiation site for translation as deduced from pactamycin mapping experiments. Fragments of RNA were also translated in vitro. Those containing the poly(C) tract gave products similar to those produced when full-length RNA was translated. The polypeptides synthesized when fragments containing the poly(A) tract were used, however, did not resemble those made from full-length RNA. 相似文献

Expression of brome mosaic virus (BMV) coat protein and internal genes of many other positive-strand RNA viruses requires initiation of subgenomic mRNA synthesis from specific internal sites on minus-strand genomic RNA templates. Biologically active viral cDNA clones were used to investigate the sequences controlling production of BMV subgenomic RNA in vivo. Suitable duplications directed production of specifically initiated, capped subgenomic RNAs from new sites in the BMV genome. Previously implicated promoter sequences extending 20 bases upstream (-20) and 16 bases downstream (+16) of the subgenomic RNA initiation site directed only low-level synthesis. Subgenomic RNA production at normal levels required sequences extending to at least -74 but not beyond -95. Loss of an (rA)18 tract immediately upstream of the -20 to +16 "core promoter" particularly inhibited subgenomic RNA synthesis. The -38 to -95 region required for normal initiation levels contains repeats of sequence elements in the core promoter, and duplications creating additional upstream copies of these repeats stimulated subgenomic RNA synthesis above wild-type levels. At least four different subgenomic RNAs can be produced from a single BMV RNA3 derivative. For all derivatives producing more than one subgenomic RNA, a gradient of accumulation progressively favoring smaller subgenomic RNAs was seen. 相似文献

Location of the sequences coding for capsid proteins VP1 and VP2 on polyoma virus DNA. 总被引:19,自引:0,他引:19
The 19S and 16S polyoma virus late mRNAs have been separated on sucrose-formamide density gradients and translated in vitro. The 16S RNA codes only for polyoma capsid protein VP1, while the 19S RNA codes in addition for capsid protein VP2. Since the 19S and 16S species have been previously mapped on the viral genome, these results allow us to deduce the location of the sequences coding for VP1 and VP2. Comparison of the chain lengths of the capsid proteins with the size of the viral mRNAs coding for them suggests that VP1 and VP2 are entirely virus-coded. Purified polyoma 19S RNA directs the synthesis of very little VP1 in vitro, although it contains all the sequences required to code for the protein. The initiation site for VP1 synthesis which is located at an internal position on the messenger is probably inactive either because it is inaccessible or because it lacks an adjacent "capped" 5' terminus. Similar inactive internal initiation sites have been reported for other eucarotic viral mRNAs (for example, Semliki forest virus, Brome mosaic virus, and tobacco mosaic virus), suggesting that while eucaryotic mRNAs may have more than one initiation site for protein synthesis, only those sites nearer the 5' terminus of the mRNA are active. 相似文献
