A new method is described for the purification of the intermediate filament protein vimentin from Ehrlich ascites tumor cells using single-stranded DNA-cellulose affinity chromatography. The procedure is rapid and allows the large scale isolation of the protein. Partial characterization of vimentin shows that it has a molecular weight of 58000 and an apparent pI of 5.3. It can be degraded by the vimentin-specific, Ca2+-activated proteinase which results in the production of a characteristic set of degradation products. The vimentin also cross-reacts with the intermediate filament protein monoclonal antibody, α-IFA. 相似文献

The effect of implantation of Ehrlich ascites tumor (EAT) cells of creatine distribution was investigated. It was also studied how depletion of creatine by feeding creatine-analogue β-guanidinopropionic acid (β-GPA) affects the growth of EAT cells in mice. Enhanced mobilization of creatine from host tissues to EAT cells against a greater concentration gradient was observed. The creatine (but not creatinine) level in blood plasma was lowered to 22% of the normal value by β-GPA feeding alone and assimilation of 14C-creatine into EAT cells was inhibited. The growth of EAT cells was significantly reduced and the duration of survival of mice after implantation of EAT cells was extended when the creatine concentration was decreased. A decrease in daily food consumption and the degree of muscle atrophy after implantation of EAT cells was less in β-GPA than control groups. In the creatine-depleted mice, the rate of increase in total EAT cell number and the volume of abdominal ascites were approximately half of the control values, and more dead EAT cells were observed. These results suggest that supplementation of β-GPA inhibits creatine transfer to EAT cells and reduces the growth of cancer cells. 相似文献

(3H)poly(ADP-ribose) synthesized from nuclei by incubation with (3H)NAD was released from protein by alkaline treatment and electrophoresed in dodecyl sulfate gels. Individual polymers up to at least 33 units were completely separated according to their chain length. Size distribution was visualized by fluorography of the gels, and quantified by radioactivity determination of sliced gels The method could be applied to crude nuclear extracts. It showed that nuclei of Ehrlich ascites tumor cells produced a poly(ADP-ribose) pattern distinctly different from that of rat liver nuclei. 相似文献

The Atg1 complex, comprising Atg1, Atg13, Atg17, Atg29, and Atg31, is a key initiator of autophagy. The Atg17-Atg31-Atg29 subcomplex is constitutively present at the phagophore assembly site (PAS), while Atg1 and Atg13 join the complex when autophagy is triggered by starvation or other signals. We sought to understand the energetics and dynamics of assembly using isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), sedimentation velocity analytical ultracentrifugation, and hydrogen-deuterium exchange (HDX). We showed that the membrane and Atg13-binding domain of Atg1, Atg1EAT, is dynamic on its own, but is rigidified in its high-affinity (~100 nM) complex with Atg13. Atg1EAT and Atg13 form a 2:2 dimeric assembly and together associate with lower affinity (~10 μM) with the 2:2:2 Atg17-Atg31-Atg29 complex. These results lead to an overall model for the assembly pathway of the Atg1 complex. The model highlights the Atg13-Atg17 binding event as the weakest link in the assembly process and thus as a natural regulatory checkpoint. 相似文献

In an extract of Ehrlich ascites tumor (EAT) cells which had been “preincubated” for 45 min to lower endogenous protein synthesis (S30C) the translation of exogenous encephalomyocarditis (EMC) viral mRNA proceeds at a constant rate for over 90 min. In a similarly treated extract of interferon-treated EAT cells (S30INT) the translation proceeds at a lower rate than in the S30C for about 30 min and then stops. The impairment of the translation in the S30INT is mediated by one or more inhibitors. After the cessation of translation the viral mRNA in the S30INT is in large polysomes. The size of these changes little (if any) during a further 15 min incubation. The addition of mouse tRNA (but not ribosomal RNA or tRNA) to the S30INT after the cessation of viral mRNA translation results in the restart of translation at a rate close to that in the S30C. This effect of tRNA is diminished by pactamycin, which inhibits peptide chain initiation but not elongation. These results indicate that addition of tRNA allows the elongation of incomplete peptide chains and the initiation of new chains. The need for added tRNA may be due to the fact that in S30INT the amino acid acceptance of some of the endogenous tRNA species (but not of added tRNAs) is impaired. This impairment is pronounced for leucine and very slight, if any, for five other amino acids tested (i.e. isoleucine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, and valine). 相似文献

In vivo protein synthesis in duck erythroblasts was compared to in vitro translation of polyribosomal and free cytoplasmic mRNA. The in vivo study showed the absence of de novo synthesis of the Mr 73 000 poly(A)-binding protein found associated with all polyribosomal mRNA. In vitro translation demonstrated that the mRNA for this protein is absent from the polyribosomal mRNA fraction but constitutes a medium frequency messenger among the repressed free mRNA. This result confirms the existence of a qualitative translational control in terminal differentiating duck erythroblasts leading eventually to the arrest of the protein synthesizing machinery. 相似文献

We reported earlier that a) the incubation of an extract from interferon-treated Ehrlich ascites tumor cells with double-straded RNA and ATP results in the activation of an endonuclease and b) after the activation the double-stranded RNA and ATP can be degraded without impairing the activity of the endonuclease. We report now the separation and partial purification of two macromolecular components (DE1INT and DE2INT) involved in the process. Upon incubation with double-stranded RNA and ATP component DE1INT generates a heat-stable product of low molecular weight (designated as nuclease activator). On incubation with the nuclease activator a latent nuclease in component DE2INT is activated. 相似文献

Membrane-depleted nuclei from Ehrlich ascites tumor (EAT) cells isolated at low ionic strength in the presence of EDTA exhibit highly decondensed chromatin fibers and a loss of morphologically identifiable nucleoli. Treatment of these nuclei with nucleases and 2 M NaCl followed by low-speed centrifugation permitted the facile isolation of the nuclear lamina layer. Under the same conditions, but after heat-shock treatment of the living cells, the chromatin appears in a more condensed state, the nucleoli are well-defined, and the nuclear lamina layer was destabilized in concert with the appearance of an internal nuclear matrix and nucleolar skeleton. Furthermore, we also found both an increase in the protein mass as well as the appearance of a relatively large number of new proteins in this fraction, which are phosphorylated. The major proteins of the nuclear lamina, the lamins, and the residual vimentin remained insoluble. These heat-shock-induced changes were also accompanied by a dephosphorylation of lamins A and C but not of lamin B. 相似文献
