We have isolated the human protein SNEV as downregulated in replicatively senescent cells. Sequence homology to the yeast splicing factor Prp19 suggested that SNEV might be the orthologue of Prp19 and therefore might also be involved in pre-mRNA splicing. We have used various approaches including gene complementation studies in yeast using a temperature sensitive mutant with a pleiotropic phenotype and SNEV immunodepletion from human HeLa nuclear extracts to determine its function. A human–yeast chimera was indeed capable of restoring the wild-type phenotype of the yeast mutant strain. In addition, immunodepletion of SNEV from human nuclear extracts resulted in a decrease of in vitro pre-mRNA splicing efficiency. Furthermore, as part of our analysis of protein–protein interactions within the CDC5L complex, we found that SNEV interacts with itself. The self-interaction domain was mapped to amino acids 56–74 in the protein's sequence and synthetic peptides derived from this region inhibit in vitro splicing by surprisingly interfering with spliceosome formation and stability. These results indicate that SNEV is the human orthologue of yeast PRP19, functions in splicing and that homo-oligomerization of SNEV in HeLa nuclear extract is essential for spliceosome assembly and that it might also be important for spliceosome stability. 相似文献

The production of human monoclonal antibodies for therapeutic use is of increasing importance for treatment of viral infections such as AIDS. As human x mouse heterohybridomas rarely reach the growth rates and cell specific production rates of mouse hybridomas the transfection of standard cell lines, such as CHO or BHK, is a promising alternative. This has the additional advantage that the IgG subtype can be changed to suit the desired application. However, the use of a cell line that has not originally developed to produce antibodies, as lymphocytes and myeloma cells have, might have unrecognised drawbacks. This will be especially significant in the case of antibodies as each molecule consists of 4 chains linked by disulphide bonds which require specific intracellular factors to be properly folded and processed (Heavy chain binding protein, Protein Disulfide Isomerase a.o.). In this study we have therefore compared two cell lines: a human x mouse heterohybridoma producing IAM-2F5, a human IgG3 antibody specific for HIV-1 with neutralising properties and a Chinese Hamster Ovary cell transfected with dihydrofolate reductase and with the heavy and light chain genes of IAM-2F5 modified to IgG1. From each cell line three subclones were selected with low, medium and high specific production rates. Batch cultures were performed and the following cellular parameters analysed by flow cytometry; 1) total RNA content (translational activity); 2) total protein content; 3) cell cycle phase distribution; 4) concentration of light and heavy chains; 5) concentration of helper proteins such as BiP and PDI. The production rate of heterohybridoma cells was best reflected in the intracellular concentration of kappa chain, while the gamma chain concentration was comparable for all three subclones. In the CHO cells the gamma chain expression and thus gene copy number appeared to be the limiting factor. The GRP78/BiP concentration in CHO remained unchanged in spite of a 5-fold higher concentration of gamma chain in the high producing subclone. The PDI concentration in CHO cells was much lower compared to the heterohybridoma cells, irrespective of production rates.Abbreviations PDI

A fluidised bed system for the cultivation of mammalian cells on a new type of macroporous gelatin microcarrier is described. The volumetric cell densities achieved under controlled conditions for two standard cell lines (VERO, CHO) were one order of magnitude higher compared to conventional techniques using spherical microcarriers. The system can be potentially used for both anchorage dependent and independent cells. 相似文献

Protein-free media are gaining more and more interest in mammalian cell culture technology. However, the range of commercially
available protein-free media is wide, but lack of serum causes the lack of various substances (Keenan et al. in Cytotechnology,
50(1–3):49–56, 2006) which must be substituted case by case. Details on the composition of protein-free media are often unavailable or inaccessible
in some cases, and as a consequence, there is an obvious need for testing procedures in order to evaluate the various commercialised
products for their performance. Additionally, negative effects of tryptic meat digests on product quality have been reported
in the literature (Gu et al. in Biotech Bioeng 56 (4):353–341, 1997). In the present studies of comparing various protein-free media for their suitability in propagation of recombinant CHO
cells expressing human growth hormone (hGH), we have found somatotropin to be an excellent candidate for detection of protease
activity. Somatotropin contains protease recognition sites for numerous proteases located around amino-acid residues 134–150.
In this study, we demonstrate highly specific cleavage of recombinant hGH during batch cultivation. Analysis of the digested
molecule was then performed by convergent methods like SDS-PAGE, HPLC and mass spectroscopy, and the results indicate hGH
to be an ideal candidate for media and component screening in mammalian cell culture. 相似文献

Despite the reported efficacy of commercially available influenza virus vaccines, a considerable proportion of the human population does not respond well to vaccination. In an attempt to improve the immunogenicity of live influenza vaccines, an attenuated, cold-adapted (ca) influenza A virus expressing human interleukin-2 (IL-2) from the NS gene was generated. Intranasal immunization of young adult and aged mice with the IL-2-expressing virus resulted in markedly enhanced mucosal and cellular immune responses compared to those of mice immunized with the nonrecombinant ca parent strain. Interestingly, the mucosal immunoglobulin A (IgA) and CD8(+) T-cell responses in the respiratory compartment could be restored in aged mice primed with the IL-2-expressing virus to magnitudes similar to those in young adult mice. The immunomodulating effect of locally expressed IL-2 also gave rise to a systemic CD8(+) T-cell and distant urogenital IgA response in young adult mice, but this effect was less distinct in aged mice. Importantly, only mice immunized with the recombinant IL-2 virus were completely protected from a pathogenic wild-type virus challenge and revealed a stronger onset of virus-specific CD8(+) T-cell recall response. Our findings emphasize the potential of reverse genetics to improve the efficacy of live influenza vaccines, thus rendering them more suitable for high-risk age groups. 相似文献

Characterization of the epitope recognized by the broadly neutralizing anti-HIV Ab 4E10 has, heretofore, focused on a linear sequence from the gp41 pretransmembrane region (PTMR). Attempts to generate neutralizing Abs based on this linear epitope sequence have been unsuccessful. We have characterized the antigenic determinants on recombinant glycosylated full-length Ags, and nonglycosylated and truncated Ags recognized by 4E10 using epitope extraction and excision assays in conjunction with MALDI mass spectrometry. The mAb recognized the peptides (34)LWVTVYYGVPVWK(46) and (512)AVGIGAVFLGFLGAAGSTMGAASMTLTVQAR(542) located at the N-terminal region of gp120 and gp41, respectively. Immunoassays verified AV(L/M)FLGFLGAA as the gp41 epitope core. Recognition of the peptide from the gp41 PTMR was detected only in constructs in which the N termini of the mature envelope proteins were missing. In this region, the epitope core is located in the sequence (672)WFDITNWLWY(681). We hypothesize that the hydrophobic surface of the paratope functions as a "trap" for the viral sequences, which are responsible for insertion into the host cell membrane. As the N-terminal region of gp120, the fusogenic peptide of gp41, and the PTMR of gp41 show high sequence homology among various HIV strains, this model is consistent with the broadly neutralizing capabilities of 4E10. 相似文献
