应用免疫荧光抗体技术检测了整合有猪瘟病毒反义基因的PK-15细胞克隆对猪瘟病毒的抑制效应。结果表明,五个不同的反义基因片段对猪瘟病毒的抑制效率存在很大差异,其中A片段的抑制效率最高(94％～98％),B片段次之(58％～76％),C片段再次(～64％),D片段和E片段未见明显的抑制效应。抑制效率的差异可能与反义基因片段的位置、长短以及反义RNA表达质粒载体的差异有关。     

Normal and expanded Huntington's disease gene alleles produce distinguishable proteins due to translation across the CAG repeat.

BACKGROUND: An expanded CAG trinucleotide repeat is the genetic trigger of neuronal degeneration in Huntington's disease (HD), but its mode of action has yet to be discovered. The sequence of the HD gene places the CAG repeat near the 5' end in a region where it may be translated as a variable polyglutamine segment in the protein product, huntingtin. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Antisera directed at amino acid stretches predicted by the DNA sequence upstream and downstream of the CAG repeat were used in Western blot and immunohistochemical analyses to examine huntingtin expression from the normal and the HD allele in lymphoblastoid cells and postmortem brain tissue. RESULTS: CAG repeat segments of both normal and expanded HD alleles are indeed translated, as part of a discrete approximately 350-kD protein that is found primarily in the cytosol. The difference in the length of the N-terminal polyglutamine segment is sufficient to distinguish normal and HD huntingtin in a Western blot assay. CONCLUSIONS: The HD mutation does not eliminate expression of the HD gene but instead produces an altered protein with an expanded polyglutamine stretch near the N terminus. Thus, HD pathogenesis is probably triggered by an effect at the level of huntingtin protein.     

Abnormal bone growth and selective translational regulation in basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF-2) transgenic mice.

Basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF-2) is a pleiotropic growth factor detected in many different cells and tissues. Normally synthesized at low levels, FGF-2 is elevated in various pathologies, most notably in cancer and injury repair. To investigate the effects of elevated FGF-2, the human full-length cDNA was expressed in transgenic mice under control of a phosphoglycerate kinase promoter. Overexpression of FGF-2 caused a variety of skeletal malformations including shortening and flattening of long bones and moderate macrocephaly. Comparison by Western blot of FGF-2 transgenic mice to nontransgenic littermates showed expression of human FGF-2 protein in all major organs and tissues examined including brain, heart, lung, liver, kidney, spleen, and skeletal muscle; however, different molar ratios of FGF-2 protein isoforms were observed between different organs and tissues. Some tissues preferentially synthesize larger isoforms of FGF-2 while other tissues produce predominantly smaller 18-kDa FGF-2. Translation of the high molecular weight isoforms initiates from unconventional CUG codons and translation of the 18-kDa isoform initiates from an AUG codon in the FGF-2 mRNA. Thus the Western blot data from the FGF-2 transgenic mice suggest that tissue-specific expression of FGF-2 isoforms is regulated translationally.     

PI 3-kinase is a dual specificity enzyme: autoregulation by an intrinsic protein-serine kinase activity.

Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase) has a regulatory 85 kDa adaptor subunit whose SH2 domains bind phosphotyrosine in specific recognition motifs, and a catalytic 110 kDa subunit. Mutagenesis of the p110 subunit, within a sequence motif common to both protein and lipid kinases, demonstrates a novel intrinsic protein kinase activity which phosphorylates the p85 subunit on serine at a stoichiometry of approximately 1 mol of phosphate per mol of p85. This protein-serine kinase activity is detectable only upon high affinity binding of the p110 subunit with its unique substrate, the p85 subunit. Tryptic phosphopeptide mapping revealed that the same major peptide was phosphorylated in p85 alpha both in vivo in cultured cells and in the purified recombinant enzyme. N-terminal sequence and mass analyses were used to identify Ser608 as the major phosphorylation site on p85 alpha. Phosphorylation of the p85 subunit at this serine causes an 80% decrease in PI 3-kinase activity, which can subsequently be reversed upon treatment with protein phosphatase 2A. These results have implications for the role of inter-subunit serine phosphorylation in the regulation of the PI 3-kinase in vivo.
