The NSR1 gene encodes a protein that specifically binds nuclear localization sequences and has two RNA recognition motifs

We previously identified a protein (p67) in the yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, that specifically recognizes nuclear localization sequences. We report here the partial purification of p67, and the isolation, sequencing, and disruption of the gene (NSR1) encoding this protein. p67 was purified using an affinity column conjugated with a peptide containing the histone H2B nuclear localization sequence from yeast. Using antibodies against p67 we have cloned the gene for this protein. The protein encoded by the NSR1 gene recognizes the wild-type H2B nuclear localization sequence, but does not recognize a mutant H2B sequence that is incompetent for nuclear localization in vivo. Interestingly, the NSR1 protein has two RNA recognition motifs, as well as an acidic NH2 terminus containing a series of serine clusters, and a basic COOH terminus containing arg-gly repeats. We have confirmed the nuclear localization of p67 by immunofluorescence and found that a restricted portion of the nucleus is highlighted. We have also shown that NSR1 (p67) is required for normal cell growth.     

转移及非转移肿瘤移植后615小鼠血液流变学变化的研究

血道高转移瘤株FC、淋巴合并血道高转移瘤株U14、淋巴道高转移瘤株H22、非转移瘤株P615分别接种于336只纯系近交615小鼠.不同时间取血并处死动物,进行组织学及血液流变学检查.将转移瘤发展过程分为潜伏期、侵袭期、转移早、中、晚期,非转移瘤发展过程分为潜优期、增殖期、囊腔形成期及中心坏死期.本实验结果显示,不同转移能力及途径肿瘤发展的不同时期血液流变学变化规律不同,因而表明肿瘤侵袭、转移与血液流变学变化之间存在互为因果的紧密关系.其临床诊断及治疗意义被讨论.     

Bam HI DNA甲基化酶酶学性质的研究

以Lineweave-Burk plot双倒数作图法测得该酶对底物S-腺苷酰甲硫氨酸(SAM)的K_m=7.69×10~(-6)mol/L,在1mmol/LS-腺苷酰高半胱氨酸(SAH)存在下,Ki=7.33×10~(-4)mol/L,两条直线相交于纵轴,证明SAH是该酶的竞争性抑制剂。该酶最适pH为7.8,对热不稳定。同时还测定了该酶对不同DNA底物的专一性及盐浓度、代谢相关物’两价阳离子、某些酸根等对该酶调节性质的影响。以碘代乙酰胺修饰该酶的SH基’及用二硫苏糖醇(DTT)和巯基乙醇(MSH)保护该酶SH基所作的实验表明SH基是该酶活性中心所必需的,用高效液相色谱(HPLC)法证明该酶所甲基化的碱基为刘氏小球菌(M·L、DNA)分子中的胞嘧啶,且求得甲基化30min后所得甲基化水平为2.39％。同时也证明当用该酶将λDNA甲基化后,可使BamHI限制性核酸内切酶对甲基化后的λDNA丧失切割作用。     

Triterpenoid saponins from Clinopodium polycephalum.

A new triterpenoid saponin, clinopodiside A, has been isolated from Clinopodium polycephalum. Its structure was established by spectroscopic methods and X-ray diffraction analysis as 3-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl(1----6)-[ beta-D-glucopyranosyl (1----4)]-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-olean-11,13(18)-diene-3 beta,16 beta, 23,28-tetrol.

Total in vitro maturation of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae a-factor lipopeptide mating pheromone

The a-factor mating pheromone, produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae a haploid cells, is post-translationally modified in a manner analogous to that of the ras proto-oncogene product. A consensus C-terminal amino acid sequence, -CAAX (C is cysteine, A is aliphatic amino acid, and X is any amino acid), is the target of these modifications, which include isoprenylation (essential for Ras function), proteolysis of the -AAX sequence, and carboxy methyl esterification. Recently, the RAM/DPR1 gene product was shown to be a component of the activity responsible for isoprenylation of both Ras and a-factor. In this report, we present an in vitro assay which not only detects a-factor isoprenylation, but also proteolysis and carboxy methyl esterification, and directly demonstrates, biochemically, the order of these processing events. This a-factor maturation assay may prove useful for screening agents which block any of the steps involved in the post-translational modification of the a-factor and Ras -CAAX sequences. Such agents would be potential anti-Ras-related cancer therapeutic drugs.     

db—cAMP对转化细胞钙调素基因表达与细胞骨架的影响

We have demonstrated that the distribution of microtubules (MT), microfilaments (MF) and fibronectin (FN) were diminished, while the gene expression of the calmodulin and c-fos enhanced in the transformed C3 H10 T1/2 cells. After treatment with 1 mM db-cAMP for 1 hr. and 2 hrs., there was an early and rapidly reduced in gene expression of calmodulin and c-fos respectively. After db-cAMP treatment for 4-5 days, the number of Capping cells of ConA binding decreased significantly and the cell surface microvilli decreased also. The growth of treated cells was inhibited markedly. By using 4F1 cDNA probe, which is preferentially expressed in G1 phase, we have found that the db-cAMP treated cells were accumulated at G1 phase. Of particular interest is the fact that the distribution of microtubules, microfilaments and fibronectin were recovered after treatment with 1 mM db-cAMP for 6 days. It is suggested that the inhibition of proliferation, alteration of phenotype and recovery of cytoskeleton in transformed cells after treatment with db-cAMP are related to the inhibition of gene expression of calmodulin.
