A human genomic clone containing the lactate dehydrogenase-A (LDH-A) gene of approx. 12 kilobases in length was isolated and characterized. The protein-coding sequence is interrupted by six introns, and the positions of these introns are at the random coil regions or near the ends of secondary structures located on the surface of the LDH-A molecule. An additional intron is present at 24 nucleotides 5' to the translation initiation codon ATG, while the 3' untranslated sequence of 565 nucleotides is not interrupted. The genomic blot analysis of human placenta DNA indicates the presence of multiple LDH-A gene-related sequences. 相似文献

Summary A new cell line, SS78, was established from a primary renal cell carcinoma of a Caucasian male. The tissue was dispersed with
collagenase, and viable cells were separated by flotation on a Ficoll-Hypaque gradient. In culture, the SS78 cells retained
a distinct epithelial morphology, and no fibroblastlike cells were seen. The cultured cells were aneuploid with a modal chromosome
number of 80 and had several marker chromosomes. Inoculation of the cultured cells into athymic nude mice caused tumors at
the sites of inoculation.

During bacterial protein synthesis, stalled ribosomes can be rescued by tmRNA, a molecule with both tRNA and mRNA features. The tRNA region of tmRNA has sequence similarity with tRNA(Ala) and also has a clover-leaf structure folded similarly as in canonical tRNAs. Here we propose the L-shape of tmRNA to be stabilized by two tertiary interactions between its D- and T-loop on the basis of phylogenetic and experimental evidence. Mutational analysis clearly demonstrates a tertiary interaction between G(13) and U(342). Strikingly, this in evolution conserved interaction is not primarily important for tmRNA alanylation and for binding to elongation factor Tu, but especially for a proper functioning of SmpB. 相似文献

Valine-accepting tRNA-like structures (TLSs) are found at the 3′ ends of the genomic RNAs of most plant viruses belonging to the genera Tymovirus, Furovirus, Pomovirus and Pecluvirus, and of one Tobamovirus species. Sequence alignment of these TLSs suggests the existence of a tertiary D-loop–T-loop interaction consisting of 2 bp, analogous to those in the elbow region of canonical tRNAs. The conserved G18·Ψ55 pair of regular tRNAs is found to covary in these TLSs between G·U (possibly also modified to G·Ψ) and A·G. We have mutated the relevant bases in turnip yellow mosaic virus (TYMV) and examined the mutants for symptom development on Chinese cabbage plants and for accumulation of genetic reversions. Development of symptoms is shown to rely on the presence of either A·G or G·U in the original mutants or in revertants. This finding supports the existence and functional importance of this tertiary interaction. The fact that only G·U and A·G are accepted at this position appears to result from steric and energetic limitations related to the highly compact nature of the elbow region. We discuss the implications of these findings for the various possible functions of the valine-accepting TLS. 相似文献

Turnip yellow mosaic virus (TYMV) has a genomic plus-strand RNA with a 5' cap followed by overlapping and different reading frames for the movement protein and polyprotein, while the distal coat protein cistron is translated from a subgenomic RNA. The 3'-untranslated region harbors a tRNA-like structure (TLS) to which a valine moiety can be added and it is indispensable for virus viability. Here, we report about a surprising interaction between TYMV-RNA-programmed ribosomes and 3'-valylated TLS that yields polyprotein with the valine N terminally incorporated by a translation mechanism resistant to regular initiation inhibitors. Disruption of the TLS exclusively abolishes polyprotein synthesis, which can be restored by adding excess TLS in trans. Our observations imply a novel eukaryotic mechanism for internal initiation of mRNA translation. 相似文献

Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) and Nemesia ring necrosis virus (NeRNV) belong to the Tobamoviridae and Tymoviridae families, respectively. Although their RNAs present different 5'-untranslated regions and different family-specific genomic organizations, they share common 3'-ends organized into three consecutive pseudoknot structures followed by a histidylatable tRNA-like structure (TLS). We investigate here whether the histidine residue becomes incorporated into viral proteins and if the TLSs of TMV and NeRNV play a role in viral translation. Our results indicate that, regardless of the genomic context, the histidine moiety does not become incorporated in proteins via ribosomal translation, and that disruption of the TLS in either viral RNA does not perturb the viral translation patterns. In the light of the present data and of previous results on tymoviral TLSVal and bromoviral TLSTyr showing differential effects on translation, we suggest that the key role for the TLS in promoting translation initiation appears to be dictated by the TLS architecture and identity. 相似文献

The presence of at least ten mouse LDH-A pseudogenes was demonstrated in the genomic blot analysis, and four different processed pseudogenes have thus far been isolated and characterized. In this report, the nucleotide sequences to two different mouse lactate dehydrogenase-A processed pseudogenes, M11 and M14, were determined and compared with the protein-coding sequences of the mouse and rat LDH-A functional genes. In the pseudogene M11, the sequence of 64 nucleotides from codon no. 257 to 278 was tandemly duplicated. In the pseudogene M14, the sequence of 22 nucleotides from codon no. 68 to 75 was replaced by an inserted repetitive sequence of 242 nucleotides homologous to a mouse truncated R element. The pattern of nucleotide substitutions accumulated in mouse LDH-A pseudogenes M11 and M14, as well as that of pseudogene M10 identified previously, was analyzed, and the substitution frequencies of the C or G at the CG dinucleotide were found to be high. 相似文献

Two cDNA clones containing the complete protein-coding sequence of 1,188 nucleotides as well as the 5' and 3' non-coding regions of human prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP) were isolated and sequenced. The size of PAP mRNAs from benign prostate hyperplasia and cancerous prostate was estimated to be 3.2Kb, indicating that the 3' downstream polyadenylation signal was used. Several genomic clones containing parts of the human PAP gene were isolated and the nucleotide sequence of ten exons and their flanking regions was determined. The protein-coding sequence of the human PAP gene was interrupted by nine introns. The positions of all nine introns present in the human PAP gene were homologous to those of the first nine introns in the human lysosomal acid phosphatase (LAP) gene. However, the last (11th) exon of the LAP gene encoding the COOH-terminal domain, which includes a transmembrane segment, was found to be absent in human PAP gene. Southern blot analysis of ten mammalian genomic DNAs gave multiple EcoRI fragments. The data of human genomic DNAs were consistent with the total length of the PAP gene of at least 50 kilobases. 相似文献
