Stably transfected NIH 3T3-L1 mouse fibroblasts (L1 cells) expressing the simian virus 40 large tumor antigen (LTAg) maintain c-myc expression and proliferation in low serum, whereas cells expressing the mutant form LTAg-K1, defective in binding of the retinoblastoma suppressor gene product pRb, showed reduced levels of c-myc RNA and only background levels of DNA synthesis in low serum. The role of the c-Myc protein in LTAg-induced DNA synthesis was studied in microinjection experiments. Expression of LTAg induced cellular DNA synthesis in > 95% of microinjected serum-starved L1 cells, whereas the mutant LTAg-K1 could not induce DNA synthesis. Coexpression of dominant negative c-Myc or Max mutants with LTAg inhibited DNA synthesis, indicating that functional c-Myc is necessary for induction of DNA synthesis by LTAg. Expression of c-Myc induced programmed cell death (apoptosis) in serum-starved L1 cells. Coexpression of c-Myc with LTAg-K1 restored induction of DNA synthesis without apoptosis. Expression of a truncated LTAg, LTAg-(1-259), defective in binding of the tumor suppressor gene product p53, failed to prevent c-Myc-induced apoptosis. The data indicate that c-Myc can restore the ability of LTAg-K1 to induce DNA synthesis and that LTAg-K1 prevents c-Myc-induced apoptosis in serum-starved L1 cells by its interaction with p53. 相似文献

Four new small polypeptides are associated with DNA-dependent RNA polymerase from E. coli after infection with T4 phage. The new polypeptides are easily detected in RNA polymerase from E. coli cells labeled with amino acids after phage infection. Their molecular weights range from 10,000 to 22,000, as detected by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate. All four polypeptides are found after infection with either wild-type T4 phage or T4 early amber mutants in genes 44, 42, 47, and 46. None of the polypeptides is labeled significantly before 5 min after infection at 30 degrees . When two maturation-defective amber mutants in gene 55 of T4 phage are used for infection, a polypeptide with a molecular weight of 22,000 is absent. When a maturation-defective amber mutant in gene 33 of T4 phage is used, another small protein is absent. 相似文献

We have examined the accumulation of newly synthesized nuclear proteins into nuclei during DNA repair synthesis in confluent WI-38 human diploid fibroblasts damaged with ultraviolet radiation or N-acetoxy-2-acetylaminofluroene. In contrast to a marked stimulation of DNA repair synthesis, stimulation of amino acid incorporation into histone polypeptides or into the various molecular weight classes of nonhistone nuclear proteins was not observed. These results suggest that detectable stimulation of newly synthesized nuclear protein incorporation into nuclei does not accompany DNA repair synthesis induced by ultraviolet radiation or a direct acting chemical carcinogen. At least for the special case of repair, DNA synthesis may be uncoupled from histone synthesis. 相似文献

Treatment of Schneider's line 3 Drosophila cells with the steroid hormone ecdysterone rapidly stimulated the synthesis and accumulation of the polypeptide previously designated p7 [Berger, E. M., Ireland, R. C. & Wyss, C. (1980) Somatic Cell Genet. 6, 119-129]. In this report, p7 is identified as the 23,000-dalton heat shock polypeptide (hsp23). In addition to hsp23, the synthesis of the low molecular weight heat shock polypeptides hsp22, hsp26, and hsp27 was also stimulated by ecdysterone, although to different extents. Hybridization of a nick-translated genomic clone containing the hsp23 gene to a total RNA blot showed that ecdysterone stimulation of hsp23 synthesis was the result of an increase in the hsp23 RNA content of S3 cells. We detected no effect of the hormone on the synthesis of heat shock polypeptides hsp68, hsp70, and hsp83. 相似文献

Treatment with colchicine or vinblastine, both inhibitors of microtubule assembly, renders quiescent 3T3 cells in an "activated state" as evidenced by induction of DNA synthesis and other criteria. Microtubule disassembly caused by colchicine or vinblastine brings about a dramatic expansion of total cellular UTP pools with a concomitant diminution in total cellular ATP pools, thus resulting in a marked imbalance in total cellular nucleotide pools. Colchicine and vinblastine also stimulate total cellular RNA synthesis without enhancing uridine phosphorylation, suggesting that these drugs affect the G1 phase of the cell cycle at a point beyond the enhancement of uridine phosphorylation that usually accompanies mitogenic stimulation of quiescent mammalian cells. The markedly expanded cellular UTP pools appear to be necessary for initiation of the colchicine-stimulated DNA synthesis because decreasing cellular UTP pools by addition of D-glucosamine results in a selective inhibition of DNA synthesis in the colchicine-stimulated, but not control, cells. Furthermore, D-glucosamine exerts its inhibitory effect only when it is present in the cultures within the first 14 hr after colchicine treatment. When added at 21 hr, D-glucosamine still decreases cellular UTP pools, but it is no longer inhibitory for DNA synthesis, which commences 14-16 hr after colchicine stimulation. Taxol, an antitumor drug, prevents microtubule disassembly and also blocks such events as expansion of total cellular UTP pools and stimulation of RNA and DNA synthesis, indicating that microtubule depolymerization acts as a primary event initiating the process of cell activation induced by colchicine. 相似文献

Estrogen and progesterone receptors from chick oviduct were compared with respect to their chromatographic behaviour on DEAE-cellulose and their DNA-binding ability to test the general validity of the subunit model from O'Malley and coworkers. Both hormone-receptor complexes can be separated on DEAE-cellulose into 2 components A and B. The 2 progester-one-receptor components appear to occur in equimolar amounts, whereas in the case of the estrogen receptor the amount of component A is always significantly larger. After trypsin treatment. the estrogen component B disappears. The remaining A is a receptor fragment with reduced molecular weight. This and other data indicate that the estrogen component B represents an aggregated form of the estrogen receptor and not a receptor subunit. The trypsinated progesterone-receptor fragments, however, are still separable into 2 components, even though also reduced in molecular weight. Our DNA-binding data of the progesterone-receptor components are almost consistent with earlier data from O'Malley and coworkers, even though we find some DNA-binding ability also for component B. Both estrogen-receptor components exhibit affinity for DNA and significantly more than 50% (up to 80%) of the total estrogen-receptor complex are able to bind to DNA, which is in contrast to the subunit model with only one sub-unit (50%) binding to DNA. Furthermore we could show that the estrogen-receptor from chick oviduct can be transformed from a DNA-non-binding to a DNA-binding form, similar to other steroid-hormone receptors. This is not compatible with pre-existing receptor subunits in equimolar amounts, one with and the other without affinity for DNA. 相似文献

Incidental to the purification of yeast DNA polymerase II was the observation that various chromatographic fractions contained activities that stimulated synthesis by this polymerase. In this paper we report the purification and initial characterization of one such factor, stimulatory factor I (SFI). SFI, which is associated with an apparent complex of three polypeptides of 66, 37, and 13.5 kDa, binds preferentially to single-stranded DNA, possibly explaining its ability to stimulate DNA polymerase II. Single-stranded DNA-binding activity is associated with the 66-kDa polypeptide. 相似文献

The biosynthesis of specific polypeptides directed by purified viral messenger RNA from JLS-V9 cells infected with Rauscher leukemia virus has been studied in a rabbit reticulocyte lysate. The 35S viral mRNA gives rise to two major products of 65,000 and 72,000 molecular weight. The synthesis of specific polypeptides was also investigated in lysates derived from infected cells. The main products were polypeptides with molecular weights of 65,000, 76,000, and 82,000, and were preferentially made in association with membranes. The relative content of the virus-specific polypeptide of 65,000 molecular weight, synthesized in a cell-free system supplemented with purified polyribosomes, is considerably higher for membrane-bound polyribosomes. 相似文献

Cardiac hypertrophy was induced in adult female Wistar rats by daily subcutaneous injections of isoproterenol (0.3 mg/kg body weight). Heart weight increased 39% after eight days of treatment. Left ventricular pressure development (positive dP/dt) in hearts four days after hypertrophy induction was significantly increased, while negative dP/dt remained unchanged. RNA polymerase activity in isolated myocyte and nonmyocyte nuclei was stimulated 29 and 23%, respectively 24 h after a single isoproterenol injection. In the myocyte fraction, RNA polymerase activation progressively increased up to four days of treatment and then returned to control values after eight days. In the nonmyocyte nuclear subset, RNA polymerase activity showed no further stimulation and gradually returned to control values after eight days of treatment. Chromatin template function was substantially stimulated in the early stage (one to four days) of hypertrophy in both myocyte and nonmyocyte fractions. Titration of chromatin against a fixed amount of RNA polymerase (5 micrograms) in the presence of rifampicin and heparin showed that less chromatin from hypertrophied hearts was required to saturate the enzyme. These results indicate that both myocyte and nonmyocte chromatin from hypertrophied hearts can support greater enzyme binding than normal chromatin. The alkaline sucrose density centrifugation profile of DNA in myocyte and nonmyocyte chromatin from day 4 hypertrophied hearts was less fragmented. These observations suggest that during the early phase of isoproterenol-induced cardiac hypertrophy, enhanced RNA polymerase activity and chromatin template function play a coordinated role in RNA synthesis. The increased template activity could be due to alterations in chromatin composition which was indicated by the change in their enzyme binding capacity and DNA fragmentation profile. 相似文献

Naturally competent bacteria have the ability to take up free DNA from the surrounding medium and incorporate this DNA into their genomes by homologous recombination. In naturally competent Streptococcus pneumoniae, and related streptococcal species from the mitis phylogenetic group, the competent state is not a constitutive property but is induced by a peptide pheromone through a quorum-sensing mechanism. Recent studies have shown that natural genetic transformation is an important mechanism for gene exchange between streptococci in nature. A prerequisite for effective gene exchange is the presence of streptococcal donor DNA in the environment. Despite decades of study of the transformation process we still do not know how this donor DNA is released from streptococcal cells to the external milieu. Traditionally, it has been assumed that donor DNA originates from cells that die and fall apart from natural causes. In this study we show that induction of the competent state initiates release of DNA from a subfraction of the bacterial population, probably by cell lysis. The majority of the cells induced to competence take up DNA and act as recipients, whereas the rest release DNA and act as donors. These findings show that natural transformation in streptococci provides a natural mechanism for genetic recombination that resembles sex in higher organisms. 相似文献

The rate of amino acid incorporation into a specific uterine protein (induced protein band) isolated by gel electrophoresis has been shown to be markedly stimulated within an hour after estrogen administration. Injection of actinomycin D (8 mg/kg) prior to estrogen blocks the synthesis of induced protein. The accumulation of the product of the actinomycin D-sensitive step (induced protein band RNA) is significant 15 minutes after estrogen, and its synthesis would appear to be initiated as soon as the estrogen-receptor complex reaches the nucleus. Blocking protein synthesis with puromycin or cycloheximide did not affect the accumulation of induced protein band RNA, indicating that this is one of the earliest macromolecular synthetic events to occur after estrogen administration. 相似文献

Canine bronchoalveolar lymphocytes (BAL) and peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) were prepared by filtration over nylon wool columns and were studied for their ability to: (a) synthesize protein, RNA, and DNA after mitogen stimulation; (b) express T-cell antigen; and (c) bind radiolabeled mitogen. Bronchoalveolar lymphocytes were shown to be markedly hyporesponsive to mitogen stimulation as assessed by DNA synthesis after 72 hr of culture or by protein and RNA synthesis after 24 hr of culture. The hyporesponsiveness of BAL was not due to a decrease in the number of T-cells; results of an indirect immunofluorescent assay employing a rabbit antiserum indicated similar percentages of T-cells in BAL (78%) and PBL (79%). The hyporesponsiveness was not due to abnormalities in mitogen binding by BAL; results of a radiolabeled mitogen-binding assay indicated essentially no difference in mitogen receptor number or affinity between BAL and PBL. Thus, the initial interaction bronchoalveolar T lymphocytes and mitogen appears to be normal. This normal interaction with mitogen, however, fails to trigger an appropriate level of macromolecular synthesis by BAL. This suggests that the hyporesponsiveness of BAL is due to an abnormality in one of the early metabolic processes induced by the interaction of a mitogen with the cell membrane. 相似文献
