The nuclear coded mitoribosomal proteins YmL27 and YmL31 are both essential for mitochondrial function in yeast. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Using synthetic oligonucleotides deduced from the N-terminal amino acid sequence of purified mitoribosomal protein (mt r-protein) YmL27, the corresponding nuclear gene MRP-L27 of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been cloned and sequenced. The MRP-L27 gene codes for 146 amino acids and is located on chromosome X. The mature YmL27 protein consists of 130 amino acids - after cleaving the putative mitochondrial signal peptide - with a net charge of +17 and a calculated relative molecular mass of 14,798 Da. The YmL27 protein as well as the yeast mitoribosomal protein YmL31, which had been characterized and its gene (MRP-L31) cloned previously, is essential for mitochondrial function as shown by the inability of gene disrupted mutants for the MRP-L27 or MRP-L31 genes to grow on non-fermentable carbon sources. 相似文献

Four different classes of mammalian mitochondrial ribosomal proteins were identified and characterized. Mature proteins were purified from bovine liver and subjected to N-terminal or matrix-assisted laser-desorption mass spectroscopic amino acid sequencing after tryptic in-gel digestion and high pressure liquid chromatography separation of the resulting peptides. Peptide sequences obtained were used to virtually screen expressed sequence tag data bases from human, mouse, and rat. Consensus cDNAs were assembled in silico from various expressed sequence tag sequences identified. Deduced mammalian protein sequences were characterized and compared with ribosomal protein sequences of Escherichia coli and yeast mitochondria. Significant sequence similarities to ribosomal proteins of other sources were detected for three out of four different mammalian protein classes determined. However, the sequence conservation between mitochondrial ribosomal proteins of mammalian and yeast origin is much less than the sequence conservation between cytoplasmic ribosomal proteins of the same species. In particular, this is shown for the mammalian counterparts of the E. coli EcoL2 ribosomal protein (MRP-L14), that do not conserve the specific and functional highly important His(229) residue of E. coli and the corresponding yeast mitochondrial Rml2p. 相似文献

Little is known about the effect of exercise training on the expression of adiponectin receptor genes in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). In this study, we investigated the effects of aerobic training on the expression of AdipoR1 and AidpoR2 mRNAs in PBMCs, whole body insulin sensitivity, and circulating adiponectins in men. Thirty young men were randomly assigned to either a control (n=15) or an exercise (n=15) group. Subjects assigned to the exercise group underwent a 12-week jogging and/or running programme on a motor-driven treadmill at an intensity of 60%-75% of the age-based maximum heart rate with duration of 40 minutes per session and a frequency of 5 days per week. Two-way mixed ANOVA with repeated measures was used to test any significant time-by-group interaction effects for the measured variables at p=0.05. We found significant time-by-group interaction effects for waist circumference (p=0.001), VO2max (p<0.001), fasting insulin (p=0.016), homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) (p=0.010), area under the curve (AUC) for insulin response during the 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (p=0.002), high-molecular weight (HMW) adiponectin (p=0.016), and the PBMC mRNA levels of AdipoR1 (p<0.001) and AdipoR2 (p=0.001). The exercise group had significantly increased mRNA levels of AdipoR1 and AdipoR2 in PBMCs, along with increased whole body insulin sensitivity and HMW adiponectin, decreased waist circumference, and increased VO2max compared with the control group. In summary, the current findings suggest that exercise training modulates the expression of AdipoR1 and AdipoR2 mRNAs in PBMCs, implying that manipulation of the expression of these genes could be a potential surrogate for lifestyle intervention-mediated improvements of whole body insulin sensitivity and glucose homeostasis. 相似文献

Genetic and environmental heterogeneity of residual variance of weight traits in Nellore beef cattle
Background
Many studies have provided evidence of the existence of genetic heterogeneity of environmental variance, suggesting that it could be exploited to improve robustness and uniformity of livestock by selection. However, little is known about the perspectives of such a selection strategy in beef cattle.Methods
A two-step approach was applied to study the genetic heterogeneity of residual variance of weight gain from birth to weaning and long-yearling weight in a Nellore beef cattle population. First, an animal model was fitted to the data and second, the influence of additive and environmental effects on the residual variance of these traits was investigated with different models, in which the log squared estimated residuals for each phenotypic record were analyzed using the restricted maximum likelihood method. Monte Carlo simulation was performed to assess the reliability of variance component estimates from the second step and the accuracy of estimated breeding values for residual variation.Results
The results suggest that both genetic and environmental factors have an effect on the residual variance of weight gain from birth to weaning and long-yearling in Nellore beef cattle and that uniformity of these traits could be improved by selecting for lower residual variance, when considering a large amount of information to predict genetic merit for this criterion. Simulations suggested that using the two-step approach would lead to biased estimates of variance components, such that more adequate methods are needed to study the genetic heterogeneity of residual variance in beef cattle. 相似文献6.

According to its cDNA sequence, the product of the DUB1 gene of Dictyostelium discoideum, called ubex52, consists of a ubiquitin monomer with a basic COOH-terminal tail of 52 amino acids that includes a putative zinc finger motif. Antipeptide antibodies raised against the COOH-terminal end of the tail indicated that the ubex52 protein is present in all developmental stages of D. discoideum and that similar proteins with apparent molecular masses of 15 to 17 kDa are found in yeast, wheat germ, Drosophila, and mammals. Subcellular fractionation showed that the D. discoideum and Saccharomyces cerevisiae proteins recognized by the antibodies are associated with the ribosomal fraction. After separation and purification of the 40 and 60 S ribosomal subunits of D. discoideum, the ubex52 protein was exclusively recovered in the small subunit. 相似文献

The genes for two large subunit proteins, YmL8 and YmL20, of the mitochondrial ribosome of Saccharomyces cerevisiae were cloned by hybridization with synthetic oligonucleotide mixtures corresponding to their N-terminal amino acid sequences. They were termed MRP-L8 and MRP-L20, respectively, and their nucleotide sequences were determined using a DNA sequencer. The MRP-L8 gene was found to encode a 26.8-kDa protein whose deduced amino acid sequence has a high degree of similarity to ribosomal protein L17 of Escherichia coli. The gene MRP-L20 was found to encode a 22.3-kDa protein with a presequence consisting of 18 amino acid residues. By Southern blot hybridization to the yeast chromosomes separated by field-inversion gel electrophoresis, the MRP-L8 and MRP-L20 genes were located on chromosomes X and XI, respectively. Gene disruption experiments indicate that their products, YmL8 and YmL20 proteins, are essential for the mitochondrial function and the absence of these proteins causes instability of the mitochondrial DNA. 相似文献

Lipid composition of whole roots of wheat (Triticum vulgare Vill. cv. Svenno Spring Wheat) and oat (Avena sativa L. cv. Brighton) and of cell wall fractions, mitochondrial fractions and microsomal fractions of these roots were studied. Lipid composition depended upon the level of mineral nutrition. In wheat total phospholipids, phosphatidyl choline and sulfolipid content was highest in the roots grown at the higher salt concentration, while the reverse was true for oat roots. In both species glycolipid and sterol content was lower in the high salt roots, at the same time as higher proportions of them were built into the microsomal fraction. Phosphatidyl choline content of the wheat root membrane fractions increased with the salt level, while the opposite occurred in the oat roots. The phosphatidyl choline content may be correlated with the (Ca2+, Mg2+)-stimulated ATPase activity. 相似文献
