Abstract

Computer programs are described, which facilitate the construction of the restriction site (physical) map of DNA molecules. By knowing the length of each fragment and its degree of error in the single and the double restriction enzyme digestions, the programs give all the possibilities for the physical map. This method is applicable to linear DNA molecules. Several examples are presented which indicate the high efficiency of the programs in constructing restriction site maps for the 62 Kb chromosome of bacteriophage 16-3. We have constructed complex maps (i.e. EcoRI map with 16 and EcoRV with 11 fragments).

miR-503-3p promotes epithelial-mesenchymal transition in breast cancer by directly targeting SMAD2 and E-cadherin.

Although progress in clinical and basic research has significantly increased our understanding of breast cancer, little is known about the molecular mechanism underlying breast cancer metastasis. Identification of effective therapeutic targets to prevent breast cancer metastasis is urgently needed. The function of miR-503-3p has been investigated in other cancers, but its role in breast cancer remains undefined. Here, we found that miR-503-3p was overexpressed in breast cancer tissue and plasma compared with adjacent normal breast tissue and with plasma from healthy individuals. Moreover, we identified miR-503-3p to be an oncogene of breast cancer cell proliferation, migration and invasion. Upregulation of miR-503-3p in breast cancer cells inhibited expression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related protein SMAD2 and the epithelial marker protein E-cadherin by directly binding to their mRNA 3' untranslated region, whereas increased expression of mesenchymal marker proteins, including vimentin and N-cadherin. Taken together, our findings support a critical role for miR-503-3p in induction of breast cancer EMT and suggest that plasma miR-503-3p may be a useful diagnostic biomarker for breast cancer.

Identification and characterization of Prp45p and Prp46p, essential pre-mRNA splicing factors.

Through exhaustive two-hybrid screens using a budding yeast genomic library, and starting with the splicing factor and DEAH-box RNA helicase Prp22p as bait, we identified yeast Prp45p and Prp46p. We show that as well as interacting in two-hybrid screens, Prp45p and Prp46p interact with each other in vitro. We demonstrate that Prp45p and Prp46p are spliceosome associated throughout the splicing process and both are essential for pre-mRNA splicing. Under nonsplicing conditions they also associate in coprecipitation assays with low levels of the U2, U5, and U6 snRNAs that may indicate their presence in endogenous activated spliceosomes or in a postsplicing snRNP complex.

NMR study of nitrogen-15-labeled Escherichia coli valine transfer RNA.

1,3-15N-Labeled uracil was synthesized chemically and used to prepare labeled Escherichia coli tRNA(Val) biosynthetically. 500-MHz measurements of 15N and proton chemical shift were obtained, for all uridine and uridine-related bases, by heteronuclear multiple-quantum coherence spectroscopy. All the uracil NH group resonances were assigned and were in agreement with previous proton-only assignments. The temperature dependence of intensities of resonances was used to infer the relative stability of parts of the molecule. The acceptor stem was the least thermally stable structural feature, while the anticodon and T loop were relatively more stable.
