BHK cells were synchronized by excess thymidine treatment, which resulted in approximately 90% synchrony. The activity of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC), the rate-limiting enzyme in polyamine biosynthesis, elevated in early S phase, decreased in G2 + M and G1 phase and then increased during late G1 approximately second round of early S phase. The concentration of cyclic adenosine-3'-5'-monophosphate (cAMP) gradually decreased during S approximately G2 + M phase and then increased during late G1 approximately second round of early S phase, preceding that of ODC activity. The data suggest that ODC activity might be regulated by cellular cAMP level. 相似文献

Increased efficiency of translation of ornithine decarboxylase mRNA in mitogen-activated lymphocytes 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) mRNA was elevated ninefold by 6 h following concanavalin A (ConA) stimulation of bovine lymphocytes. Comparison of the increases in ODC mRNA and ODC activity revealed a fivefold discrepancy, which is consistent with a change in efficiency of translation of ODC mRNA. In resting cells, 45% of the total ODC mRNA was associated with particles sedimenting at about 40 S, and therefore was not translated. The untranslated ODC mRNA in resting cells could be completely shifted into polysomes by a 15-min treatment of the cells with appropriate concentrations of cycloheximide. In activated cells, the proportion of ODC mRNA in untranslated material was reduced to 18%. This shift in distribution of ODC mRNA occurred between 6 h and 12 h following mitogen stimulation with no increase in the cellular level of this message. The rate of synthesis of ODC protein was found in increase twofold between 6 h and 12 h, paralleling the increase in the amount of ODC mRNA associated with polysomes. Thus, in this time frame, a decrease in the amount of untranslated ODC mRNA with a corresponding increase in the amount associated with polysomes leads to an increase in the biosynthesis of ODC with no change in the cellular level of the message. These changes in translational efficiency were not observed with actin mRNA. 相似文献

CPEB, maskin, and cyclin B1 mRNA at the mitotic apparatus: implications for local translational control of cell division 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
In Xenopus development, the expression of several maternal mRNAs is regulated by cytoplasmic polyadenylation. CPEB and maskin, two factors that control polyadenylation-induced translation are present on the mitotic apparatus of animal pole blastomeres in embryos. Cyclin B1 protein and mRNA, whose translation is regulated by polyadenylation, are colocalized with CPEB and maskin. CPEB interacts with microtubules and is involved in the localization of cyclin B1 mRNA to the mitotic apparatus. Agents that disrupt polyadenylation-induced translation inhibit cell division and promote spindle and centrosome defects in injected embryos. Two of these agents inhibit the synthesis of cyclin B1 protein and one, which has little effect on this process, disrupts the localization of cyclin B1 mRNA and protein. These data suggest that CPEB-regulated mRNA translation is important for the integrity of the mitotic apparatus and for cell division. 相似文献

Polyamines are required for cell growth and cell division in eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms. In the unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, biosynthesis of the commonly occurring polyamines (putrescine, spermidine, and spermine) is dependent on the activity of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC, EC 4.1.1.17) catalyzing the formation of putrescine, which is the precursor of the other two polyamines. In synchronized C. reinhardtii cultures, transition to the cell division phase was preceded by a 4-fold increase in ODC activity and a 10- and a 20-fold increase, respectively, in the putrescine and spermidine levels. Spermine, however, could not be detected in C. reinhardtii cells. Exogenous polyamines caused a decrease in ODC activity. Addition of spermine, but not of spermidine or putrescine, abolished the transition to the cell division phase when applied 7 to 8 h after beginning of the light (growth) phase. Most of the cells had already doubled their cell mass after this growth period. The spermine-induced cell cycle arrest could be overcome by subsequent addition of spermidine or putrescine. The conclusion that spermine affects cell division via a decreased spermidine level was corroborated by the findings that spermine caused a decrease in the putrescine and spermidine levels and that cell divisions also could be prevented by inhibitors of S-adenosyl-methionine decarboxylase and spermidine synthase, respectively, added 8 h after beginning of the growth period. Because protein synthesis was not decreased by addition of spermine under our experimental conditions, we conclude that spermidine affects the transition to the cell division phase directly rather than via protein biosynthesis. 相似文献

Insulin induction of ornithine decarboxylase. Importance of mRNA secondary structure and phosphorylation of eucaryotic initiation factors eIF-4B and eIF-4E 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12
J M Manzella W Rychlik R E Rhoads J W Hershey P J Blackshear 《The Journal of biological chemistry》1991,266(4):2383-2389
We investigated the possibility that insulin could stimulate translation of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) mRNA in a murine fibroblast cell line that expresses large numbers of human insulin receptors (HIR 3.5 cells). Within 3 h after exposure to 70 nM insulin, ODC enzyme activity increased approximately 50-fold and mRNA accumulation 3-fold in the HIR 3.5 cells but not in normal fibroblasts. Pretreatment of cells with cycloheximide completely inhibited insulin-stimulated ODC expression; actinomycin D partially inhibited this effect. To determine the influence of the 5' untranslated region (5'UTR) of ODC mRNA on insulin-regulated ODC expression, plasmids were constructed which contained sequences from the 5'UTR of a rat ODC mRNA interposed between the ferritin promoter and the coding region of the human growth hormone gene. These constructions were then expressed transiently in HIR 3.5 cells. Insulin stimulated a 2-4-fold change in growth hormone accumulation in the medium of cells transiently expressing plasmids containing the entire 5'UTR of ODC mRNA or just the 5'-most 115 bases, a G/C-rich conserved sequence predicted to form a stem-loop structure and shown previously to be responsible for constitutive inhibition of translation. There was a direct correlation between the extent of insulin stimulation and the predicted secondary structure of the added 5'UTR sequences. To determine whether this effect might be due to insulin activation of initiation factors responsible for melting mRNA secondary structure, we examined the effect of insulin on the phosphorylation states of two such factors, eucaryotic initiation factors eIF-4B and eIF-4E. Insulin stimulated the phosphorylation of both initiation factors; this stimulation was evident at 15 min and maximal by 60 min. These results suggest a potential general mechanism by which insulin could preferentially stimulate translation of mRNAs whose 5'UTRs exhibit significant secondary structure by activating initiation factors involved in melting such secondary structures. 相似文献

Early alterations of polyamine metabolism induced after acute administration of clenbuterol in mouse heart. 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

An acute treatment of mice with clenbuterol, a beta-adrenergic agonist, produced a marked increase of polyamines levels in heart, particularly during the early phase of administration of the drug. A single dose of 1.5 mg/kg caused as much as a 10 fold induction in activity of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) and 3 to 4 fold increase in levels of putrescine, spermidine and spermine in mouse heart. Maximum changes were observed 3 to 4 hours post-administration of clenbuterol. This treatment did not produce any change in S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase activity. The induction of cardiac ODC by clenbuterol was also dose dependent with a peak at about 5 micromol/kg. Co-administration of difluoromethylornithine, an irreversible inhibitor of ODC, or propranolol, a nonspecific beta-antagonist, with clenbuterol completely prevented the induction of ODC activity as well as the increase in polyamine levels in heart. However, pretreatment with alprenolol or metoprolol, the specific beta1 and beta2-antagonists, respectively, produced only partial prevention. The cardiac ODC from controls as well as clenbuterol treated mice exhibited similar affinity (Km) for its substrate, ornithine, while maximum enzyme activity (Vmax) was about 14 fold higher in clenbuterol treated mouse heart than in the control. Clenbuterol produced no change in the level of specific ODC mRNA or the protein, but the enzyme from the drug-treated mouse heart was considerably more stable than the control. Pretreatment of mice with either cycloheximide or actinomycin D followed by administration of clenbuterol could not prevent the induction in ODC activity suggesting that de novo biosynthesis of the enzyme protein or ODC mRNA was not responsible for induction of ODC activity. Post-translational changes in ODC may be responsible for an early increase of ODC activity due to clenbuterol treatment. 相似文献

Control of ornithine decarboxylase activity in alpha-difluoromethylornithine-resistant L1210 cells by polyamines and synthetic analogues 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

The regulation of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity by the polyamine derivatives N1,N8-bis(ethyl)-spermidine and N1,N12-bis(ethyl)spermine was studied using a line of L1210 cells resistant to alpha-difluoromethylornithine (D-R cells), which contain very high levels of ODC, and a synthetic mRNA prepared from a plasmid containing an insert corresponding to ODC mRNA adjacent to an SP6 RNA polymerase promoter. Studies in which ODC protein was labeled in the D-R cells by exposure to [35S]methionine indicated that the polyamine derivatives and their physiological counterparts led to an increased rate of degradation of ODC and to a rapid reduction in ODC synthesis without affecting the content of ODC mRNA. Direct evidence that the polyamine derivatives act by inhibiting the translation of the ODC mRNA was obtained by studying their effects on the translation of ODC mRNA in reticulocyte lysates. This translation was strongly inhibited by the addition of N1,N8-bis(ethyl)spermidine, spermidine, N1,N12-bis(ethyl)spermine, or spermine but was not affected much by putrescine. The inhibition of the translation of ODC mRNA by either of the bis(ethyl) polyamine derivatives occurred at concentrations which stimulated total protein synthesis showing the selectivity of the reduction in ODC. The effects of polyamine derivatives and polyamines on translation of the plasmid-derived ODC mRNA were identical with those found with the D-R L1210 cell mRNA. This synthetic ODC mRNA lacks 261 bases of the 5'-leader sequences and 200 bases plus the poly(A) section from the 3'-nontranslated sequence. Therefore, these regions appear not to influence sensitivity of the ODC mRNA to inhibition of translation by polyamine derivatives. 相似文献

In a glucose-salt solution (Earle's balanced salt solution), asparagine (Asn) stimulates ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity in a dose-dependent manner, and the addition of epidermal growth factor (EGF) potentiates the effect of Asn. However, EGF alone fails to activate ODC. Thus, the mechanism by which Asn activates ODC is important for understanding the regulation of ODC activity. Asn reduced antizyme-1 (AZ1) mRNA and protein. Among the amino acids tested, Asn and glutamine (Gln) effectively inhibited AZ1 expression, suggesting a differential role for amino acids in the regulation of ODC activity. Asn decreased the putrescine-induced AZ1 translation. The absence of amino acids increased the binding of eukaryotic initiation factor 4E-binding protein (4EBP1) to 5'-mRNA cap and thereby inhibited global protein synthesis. Asn failed to prevent the binding of 4EBP1 to mRNA, and the bound 4EBP1 was unphosphorylated, suggesting the involvement of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) in the regulation of AZ1 synthesis. Rapamycin treatment (4 h) failed to alter the expression of AZ1. However, extending the treatment (24 h) allowed expression in the presence of amino acids, indicating that AZ1 is expressed when TORC1 signaling is decreased. This suggests the involvement of cap-independent translation. However, transient inhibition of mTORC2 by PP242 completely abolished the phosphorylation of 4EBP1 and decreased basal as well as putrescine-induced AZ1 expression. Asn decreased the phosphorylation of mTOR-Ser(2448) and AKT-Ser(473), suggesting the inhibition of mTORC2. In the absence of amino acids, mTORC1 is inhibited, whereas mTORC2 is activated, leading to the inhibition of global protein synthesis and increased AZ1 synthesis via a cap-independent mechanism. 相似文献

Treatment of L1210 cells with either of two inhibitors of S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase (AdoMetDC), namely 5'-deoxy-5'-[N-methyl-N-[2-(amino-oxy)ethyl])aminoadenosine or 5'-deoxy-5'-[N-methyl-N-(3-hydrazinopropyl)]aminoadenosine, produced a large increase in the amount of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) protein. The increased enzyme content was due to a decreased rate of degradation of the protein and to an increased rate of synthesis, but there was no change in its mRNA content. The inhibitors led to a substantial decline in the amounts of intracellular spermidine and spermine, but to a big increase in the amount of putrescine. These results indicate that the content of ODC is negatively regulated by spermidine and spermine at the levels of protein translation and turnover, but that putrescine is much less effective in bringing about this repression. Addition of either spermidine or spermine to the cells treated with the AdoMetDC inhibitors led to a decrease in ODC activity, indicating that either polyamine can bring about this effect, but spermidine produced effects at concentrations similar to those found in the control cells and appears to be the physiologically important regulator. The content of AdoMetDC protein (measured by radioimmunoassay) was also increased by these inhibitors, and a small increase in its mRNA content was observed, but this was insufficient to account for the increase in protein. A substantial stabilization of AdoMetDC occurred in these cells, contributing to the increased enzyme content, but an increase in the rate of translation cannot be ruled out. 相似文献
