cDNA clones of the neural cell adhesion molecule (N-CAM) lacking a membrane-spanning region consistent with evidence for membrane attachment via a phosphatidylinositol intermediate.

In embryonic chicken brains, the neural cell adhesion molecule N-CAM is expressed mainly as two polypeptides, the large intracellular-domain polypeptide (ld) (Mr = 160,000) and the small intracellular-domain polypeptide (sd) (Mr = 130,000) chains, that differ in their cytoplasmic domains and that arise by alternative splicing of RNA transcribed from a single gene. There is evidence for a minor N-CAM polypeptide of Mr = 120,000 that is similar to the ld and sd chains for most of its amino-terminal sequence, but which lacks a cytoplasmic domain. We report here the isolation and characterization of a cDNA clone, lambda N151, that appears to encode this third N-CAM polypeptide, which we designate the ssd (small surface-domain) polypeptide chain. The cDNA insert of lambda N151 consists of 2437 base pairs (bp). DNA hybridization and sequencing indicate that the first 1721 bp are nearly identical to the corresponding sequences of clone lambda N208, which encodes the ld chain. Following in the same reading frame, lambda N151 encodes 25 amino acids not present in lambda N208. The rest of lambda N151 consists of a 637-bp noncoding region containing an AATACA polyadenylylation sequence and a 55-bp poly(A) tract. Messenger RNAs complementary to lambda N151 appear later in development than those complementary to the ld and sd chains, and their appearance is correlated with the appearance of the ssd polypeptide. Although the polypeptide encoded by lambda N151 lacks a membrane region that would define a cytoplasmic domain, it does contain at its carboxyl end a relatively hydrophobic stretch of amino acids similar to those seen in precursors of membrane proteins that are attached to membranes via the lipid phosphatidylinositol. We show here that the ssd chain of chicken N-CAM can be released from brain vesicles by treatment with phospholipase C, suggesting that it too may have a phosphatidylinositol anchor. These results define two additional modes by which N-CAM expression can be modulated: by RNA splicing at a new site and by differential membrane attachment of the resulting polypeptide through a lipid intermediate.

Complete nucleotide sequence of alfalfa mosaic virus RNA 2.

Double-stranded cDNA of in vitro polyadenylated alfalfa mosaic virus (AlMV) RNA 2 has been cloned and sequenced. The use of an oligodeoxyribonucleotide corresponding to the known sequence of the 5'-end of RNA 2 to prime second-strand DNA synthesis, enabled us to construct the complete primary structure of AlMV RNA 2. The sequence of 2,593 nucleotides contains a long open reading frame for a protein of Mr 89,753 starting at the first AUG codon from the 5'-end. This coding region is flanked by a 5'-terminal sequence of 54 nucleotides and a 3'-noncoding region of 166 nucleotides which includes the sequence of 145 nucleotides the three genomic RNAs of AlMV have in common.

Hybrid selection of small RNAs by using simian virus 40 DNA: evidence that the simian virus 40-associated small RNA is synthesized by specific cleavage from large viral transcripts.

The simian virus 40 (SV40)-associated small RNA (SAS-RNA), approximately 64 nucleotides, is virally encoded within a region of the viral late (+) DNA strand which encodes no known protein. The SAS-RNA arises in abundance late in SV40 lytic infection. Previous data indicate that the synthesis of the SAS-RNA may be under the control of the normal late viral promoter; i.e., inhibition of transcription from the late promoter results in cessation of SAS-RNA synthesis. The synthesis of SAS-RNA was examined to determine whether the SAS-RNA is the product of cleavage from noncoding regions of nuclear late transcripts or an independent transcription product like 5S RNA, or the adenovirus VA-RNAs. The data described below suggest that SAS-RNA is cleaved from large late transcripts. In vitro transcription of DNA fragments containing the SAS-RNA coding region yielded no SAS-RNA synthesis; this result was supported by DNA sequence analysis, which indicated no promoter-like regions either within or flanking the SAS-RNA coding region. In support of a cleavage mechanism, the SAS-RNA has a 3'-phosphate end, an occurrence which is indicative of nuclease cleavage. In addition, 5'-end labeling of the SAS-RNA was possible only after calf alkaline phosphatase treatment; this indicates that the SAS-RNA is not capped. Hybrid selection analysis was used to demonstrate that separation of the SAS-RNA coding region from the normal late promoter resulted in elimination of SAS-RNA synthesis. This was demonstrated in SV40-transformed cells in which integration of a single copy of SV40 breaks the continuity of the late coding region, so that the SAS-RNA coding region is physically separated from the normal late promoter. The lack of SAS-RNA synthesis indicates that the SAS-RNA coding region cannot function as a primary transcription unit. The same result and conclusion were obtained by using a permissive cell line transformed by SV40 (COS-1 cells); here it was found that the integrated SAS-RNA coding region was not expressed even during a viable lytic infection in which the SAS-RNA could be expressed from the infecting viral genomes. The simplest conclusion drawn from the data is that the SAS-RNA is cleaved from larger late transcripts which initiate at the normal late promoter. This conclusion suggests that many of the small RNAs found in normal eucaryotic cells may be synthesized by specific cleavage rather than by primary transcription. In the course of these studies several small cellular RNAs were detected, due to their specific hybrid selection, by using SV40 DNA. Primary mapping and characterization data of these RNAs are also presented.

Developmental and tissue-specific expression of a family of transcripts related to rat insulin-like growth factor II mRNA.

We have constructed a cDNA library from the mRNA of a rat liver cell line (BRL-3A) and characterized cDNA clones encoding the protein precursor of the rat insulin-like growth factor II (pre-pro-rIGF-II). This precursor, inferred from the nucleotide sequence, consists of a signal peptide, the rIGF-II sequence, and a trailer polypeptide of unknown significance. The characterized cDNA sequence (1016 nt) is part of a 3.4 kb mRNA species. Northern analysis reveals that a probe containing the extreme 5' noncoding region hybridizes to a second RNA (1.6 kb), while a probe corresponding to the 5' noncoding region proximal to the coding region hybridizes to two other RNA species (1.75 and 1.1 kb). All four RNAs are differentially expressed in all of the neonatal tissues that were examined, while the 3.4 kb pre-pro-rIGF-II mRNA and the 1.1 kb transcript are absent from adult tissues.

Antisense RNA complementary to 3' coding and noncoding sequences of creatine kinase is a potent inhibitor of translation in vivo.

Antisense RNA is a potentially powerful tool for creating dominant negative mutations, but one of the limitations of this strategy has been the relative inefficiency of antisense transcripts in blocking target gene expression. To identify more effective target sequences, helper-free retrovirus-mediated gene transfer was used to introduce antisense RNAs complementary to multiple functional regions of the human creatine kinase B (CK-B) mRNA into U937 cells. Antisense RNA complementary to the last third of the coding and all of the noncoding regio of this mRNA is highly effective; one or two antisense transcripts is sufficient to block the expression of one CK-B mRNA. In contrast, antisense RNA from which sequences complementary to the last 17 codons and all the 3' noncoding region have been deleted has no effect on CK-B expression. Neither antisense RNA alters the abundance of the target message, processing of the primary transcript, egress of the CK-B message from the nucleus, or the polysome profile of CK-B mRNA in sucrose gradients. These results point to a direct effect of the antisense transcript on translation and suggest that this effect may be explained at least in part by an inhibition of elongation or termination as a consequence of the duplex formed in the distal coding and/or 3' noncoding region.

Deletion analysis of cis- and trans-acting elements involved in replication of alfalfa mosaic virus RNA 3 in vivo.

DNA copies of alfalfa mosaic virus (AIMV) RNA 3 were transcribed in vitro into RNA molecules with deletions in coding and noncoding sequences. The replication of these transcripts was studied in protoplasts from transgenic tobacco plants expressing DNA copies of AIMV RNAs 1 and 2. Deletions in the 5'-proximal P3 gene, encoding the putative viral transport function, did not affect replication whereas deletions in the 3'-proximal coat protein gene reduced replication of RNA 3 by about 100-fold. Sequences required for the synthesis in protoplasts of RNA 4, the coat protein messenger, were more extensive than the subgenomic promoter characterized previously in an in vitro replicase assay. At the 5'-end of RNA 3 a sequence of 169 nucleotides was sufficient for replication whereas a sequence of 112 nucleotides was not. 3'-Terminal deletions up to 133 nucleotides reduced replication to a low but significant level. Further 3'-deletions abolished replication.

Topography of the three late mRNA's of polyoma virus which encode the virion proteins.

The three cytoplasmic polyadenylated mRNA's which separately encode the three capsid proteins (VP1, VP2, and VP3) of polyoma virus were mapped on the viral genome by one- and two-dimensional gel electrophoreses of nuclease S1-resistant RNA-DNA hybrids. The mRNA's, which we designated mVP1, mVP2, and mVP3 to indicate the coding functions deduced from the cosedimentation of the RNAs and the messenger activities, comprise an overlapping set of 3'-coterminal molecules which also share a heterogeneous family of noncoding 5'-terminal regions (Flavell et al., Cell 16:357--371, 1979; Legon et al., Cell 16:373--388, 1979). The three species differ in the length of the 3' colinear coding region which is spliced to the 5' leader sequences. The common polyadenylated 3' end maps at map unit 25.3. The 5' ends of the colinear bodies of mVP1, mVP3, and mVP2 map at 48.5, 59.5, and 66.5 map units, respectively. An examination of the polyoma virus DNA sequence (Arrand et al., J. Virol. 33:606--618, 1980) in the vicinities of splicing sites approximated by the S1 gel mapping data for sequences common to the ends of known intervening sequences allowed prediction of the precise splice points in polyoma virus late mRNA's. In all three cases, the leader sequences are joined to the mRNA bodies at least 48 nucleotides before the translational initiation codon used in each particular messenger. The start signal which functions in each mRNA is the first AUG (or GUG) triplet after the splice junction.

Oral poliovirus vaccine in the United States: molecular characterization of Sabin type 3 after replication in the gut of vaccinees.

Derivatives of Sabin 3 shed from recipients of oral poliovirus vaccine in the United States (U.S.) were examined for genetic changes identified in strains excreted by vaccinees in the United Kingdom [U.K.; Evans et al., 1985; Cammack et al., 1988, Macadam et al., 1989]. Among the eight primary vaccinees studied, the duration of excretion and molecular evolution of type 3 strains varied greatly. The period of virus excretion after vaccination ranged from as few as 2 days to as many as 36 days. Nucleotide sequence analysis of viral RNAs extracted from shed virus indicated that only fifty percent of the vaccinees exclusively excreted strains in which the attenuating mutation at nucleotide 472 in the 5' noncoding region of the genome had reverted from uracil (U) to cytosine (C), the nucleotide found in neurovirulent strains. Compared to the wild-type Leon strain, the low activity of stool isolate KW4 in a complete monkey neurovirulence test demonstrated that presence of C at 472 does not render a type 3 strain pathogenic. Conversely, an isolate was identified which efficiently replicated in monkey nervous tissue and maintained the attenuated U at 472. Oligonucleotide fingerprinting and sequence analysis of viral RNAs from stool isolates indicated that one vaccinee (KW) eventually excreted intertypic recombinant strains consistent with those reported in the U.K. studies. Unique to this study, one vaccinee (KS) excreted nonrecombinant virus possessing U at 472 for up to 21 days. The significance of the KS strain profile in relation to differences in the U.S. vaccine compared to the vaccine distributed in the U.K. and other countries is discussed.

Reversion of Q beta RNA phage mutants by homologous RNA recombination.

Q beta phage RNAs with inactivating insertion (8-base) or deletion (17-base) mutations within their replicase genes were prepared from modified Q beta cDNAs and transfected into Escherichia coli spheroplasts containing Q beta replicase provided in trans by a resident plasmid. Replicase-defective (Rep-) Q beta phage produced by these spheroplasts were detected as normal-sized plaques on lawns of cells containing plasmid-derived Q beta replicase, but were unable to form plaques on cells lacking this plasmid. When individual Rep- phage were isolated and grown to high titer in cells containing plasmid-derived Q beta replicase, revertant (Rep+) Q beta phage were obtained at a frequency of ca. 10(-8). To investigate the mechanism of this reversion, a point mutation was placed into the plasmid-derived Q beta replicase gene by site-directed mutagenesis. Q beta mutants amplified on cells containing the resultant plasmid also yielded Rep+ revertants. Genomic RNA was isolated from several of the latter phage revertants and sequenced. Results showed that the original mutation (insertion or deletion) was no longer present in the phage revertants but that the marker mutation placed into the plasmid was now present in the genomic RNAs, indicating that recombination was one mechanism involved in the reversion of the Q beta mutants. Further experiments demonstrated that the 3' noncoding region of the plasmid-derived replicase gene was necessary for the reversion-recombination of the deletion mutant, whereas this region was not required for reversion or recombination of the insertion mutant. Results are discussed in terms of a template-switching model of RNA recombination involving Q beta replicase, the mutant phage genome, and plasmid-derived replicase mRNA.

Transcriptome-wide N6-methyladenosine modification profiling of long non-coding RNAs in patients with recurrent implantation failure.

N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is involved in most biological processes and actively participates in the regulation of reproduction. According to recent research, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and their m6A modifications are involved in reproductive diseases. In the present study, using m6A-modified RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing (m6A-seq), we established the m6A methylation transcription profiles in patients with recurrent implantation failure (RIF) for the first time. There were 1443 significantly upregulated m6A peaks and 425 significantly downregulated m6A peaks in RIF. Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analyses revealed that genes associated with differentially methylated lncRNAs are involved in the p53 signalling pathway and amino acid metabolism. The competing endogenous RNA network revealed a regulatory relationship between lncRNAs, microRNAs and messenger RNAs. We verified the m6A methylation abundances of lncRNAs by using m6A-RNA immunoprecipitation (MeRIP)-real-time polymerase chain reaction. This study lays a foundation for further exploration of the potential role of m6A modification in the pathogenesis of RIF.

Linker scanning mutagenesis of the internal ribosome entry site of poliovirus RNA.

The initiation of cap-independent translation of poliovirus mRNA occurs as a result of ribosome entry at an internal site(s) within the 5' noncoding region. A series of linker scanning mutations was constructed to define the genetic determinants of RNA-protein interactions that lead to high-fidelity translation of this unusual viral mRNA. The mutations are located within two distinct stem-loop structures in the 5' noncoding region of poliovirus RNA that constitute a major portion of a putative internal ribosome entry site. On the basis of our data derived from genetic and biochemical assays, the stability of one of the stem-loop structures appears to be essential for translation initiation via internal binding of ribosomes. However, the second stem-loop structure may function in a manner that requires base pairing and proper spacing between specific nucleotide sequences. By employing RNA electrophoretic mobility shift assays, an RNA-protein interaction was detected for this latter stem-loop structure that does not occur in RNAs containing mutations which perturb the predicted hairpin structure. Analysis of in vivo-selected virus revertants, in combination with mobility shift assays, suggests that extensive genetic rearrangement can lead to restoration of 5' noncoding region functions, possibly by the repositioning of specific RNA sequence or structure motifs.

Nucleotide sequences important for translation initiation of enterovirus RNA.

An infectious cDNA clone was constructed from the genome of coxsackievirus B1 strain. A number of RNA transcripts that have mutations in the 5' noncoding region were synthesized in vitro from the modified cDNA clones and examined for their abilities to act as mRNAs in a cell-free translation system prepared from HeLa S3 cells. RNAs that lack nucleotide sequences at positions 568 to 726 and 565 to 726 were found to be less efficient and inactive mRNAs, respectively. To understand the biological significance of this region of RNA, small deletions and point mutations were introduced in the nucleotide sequence between positions 538 and 601. Except for a nucleotide substitution at 592 (U----C) within the 7-base conserved sequence, mutations introduced in the sequence downstream of position 568 did not affect much, if any, of the ability of RNA to act as mRNA. Except for a point mutation at 558 (C----U), mutations upstream of position 567 appeared to inactivate the mRNA. In the upstream region, a sequence consisting of 21 nucleotides at positions 546 to 566 is perfectly conserved in the 5' noncoding regions of enterovirus and rhinovirus genomes. These results suggest that the 7-base conserved sequence functions to maintain the efficiency of translation initiation and that the nucleotide sequence upstream of position 567, including the 21-base conserved sequence, plays essential roles in translation initiation. A deletion mutant whose genome lacks the nucleotide sequence at positions 568 to 726 showed a small-plaque phenotype and less virulence against suckling mice than the wild-type virus. Thus, reduction of the efficiency of translation initiation may result in the construction of enteroviruses with the lower-virulence phenotype.

Exploring the Mitochondrial Genomes of Phoebe Species (Lauraceae): Structural Dynamics and Functional Conservation.

Plant mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) vary markedly in size and architecture despite generally slow rates of sequence evolution. Phoebe is an ecologically and economically valuable genus of Lauraceae, yet its mitogenome diversity remains poorly characterized. In this study, we newly sequenced, assembled, and annotated the mitogenomes of three nationally protected Class II wild plants (P. bournei, P. chekiangensis, P. zhennan) from China and compared their mitogenomic characteristics. The three assemblies were resolved into representative circular configurations ranging from 808 to 864 kb, with similar GC contents and conserved protein-coding capacity. Each mitogenome contained distinct 41 protein-coding genes, 27-28 transfer RNAs, and three ribosomal RNAs. Synteny analysis revealed extensive changes in homologous-block order and orientation despite substantial sequence homology among the three species. Abundant repeats occurred predominantly in noncoding regions, while plastid-derived fragments documented historical intracellular DNA transfer. The three species exhibited similar codon usage and predicted RNA-editing patterns, whereas low synonymous divergence limited inference from pairwise ratios. Phylogenetic analysis based on mitochondrial protein-coding genes recovered Phoebe as a well-supported monophyletic lineage. These results reveal substantial structural divergence accompanied by conserved nucleotide composition and coding capacity, providing valuable data for further understanding the evolutionary variation of plant mitogenomes of Phoebe and the Lauraceae.

Replication of chimeric tobacco mosaic viruses which carry heterologous combinations of replicase genes and 3' noncoding regions.

Three tobacco mosaic virus (TMV)-L (tomato strain)-derived chimeras, designated OL1, LG11, or LK31, were constructed by replacing the 3' noncoding region with the corresponding sequence of TMV-OM (common strain), cucumber green mottle mosaic virus (CGMMV), or TMV-Cc (cowpea strain), respectively. The genomic RNAs of TMV-L, -OM, and CGMMV carry histidine-accepting tRNA-like structures at their 3' termini, while the genome of TMV-Cc accepts valine. The three chimeric viruses were able to multiply in both tobacco protoplasts and plants. Multiplication of OL1 in protoplasts was similar to that of the parental strain, L, but in the cases of LG11 and LK31 multiplication was decreased. Sequence analyses of progeny RNAs revealed that viruses with chimeric sequences propagated. These data suggested that TMV-L replicase recognizes the 3' terminal structures of TMV-OM, CGMMV, and TMV-Cc and can initiate minus-strand RNA synthesis. The relationship between the virus-coded component(s) of TMV replicase and the 3' terminal region may not be so stringent.

Cloning and analysis of the rat gamma-glutamyltransferase gene.

We have isolated and characterized a complete structural gene encoding the enzyme gamma-glutamyltransferase ((5-glutamyl)-peptide:amino acid 5-glutamyltransferase; EC 2.3.2.2). The gene contains 8 exons and spans approximately 12 kilobases. Ras-transformed rat liver epithelial cells and rat kidney express RNAs which differ in length by approximately 0.3 kilobase pair. Comparison of the genomic sequence with kidney gamma GT cDNA sequence indicates that the first exon is noncoding, and nuclease protection and primer extension data have identified a potential kidney transcription start site (defined as +1) for this exon. The site is not associated with a TATA box, but there are two CCAAT boxes (-136 and -599) and two sites (-101 and -746) containing the consensus sequences to which the transcription factor SP1 is known to bind. There is also a sequence at -453 (TGTGGTTG) that is highly homologous to the core sequence (TGTGG(T)3-5G) of SV40 and polyoma viral enhancers.

Transcriptome analysis of the diseased intervertebral disc tissue in patients with spinal tuberculosis.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the differential expression genes (DEGs) in spinal tuberculosis using transcriptomics, with the aim of identifying novel therapeutic targets and prognostic indicators for the clinical management of spinal tuberculosis. METHODS: Patients who visited the Department of Orthopedics at the Second Hospital, Lanzhou University from January 2021 to May 2023 were enrolled. Based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, there were 5 patients in the test group and 5 patients in the control group. Total RNA was extracted and paired-end sequencing was conducted on the sequencing platform. After processing the sequencing data with clean reads and annotating the reference genome, FPKM normalization and differential expression analysis were performed. The DEGs and long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) were analyzed for Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) and Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment. The cis-regulation of differentially expressed mRNAs (DE mRNAs) by LncRNAs was predicted and analyzed to establish a co-expression network. RESULTS: This study identified 2366 DEGs, with 974 genes significantly upregulated and 1392 genes significantly downregulated. The upregulated genes are associated with cytokine-cytokine receptor interactions, tuberculosis, and TNF-α signaling pathways, primarily enriched in biological processes such as immunity and inflammation. The downregulated genes are related to muscle development, contraction, fungal defense response, and collagen metabolism processes. Analysis of LncRNAs from bone tuberculosis RNA-seq data detected a total of 3652 LncRNAs, with 356 significantly upregulated and 184 significantly downregulated. Further analysis identified 311 significantly different LncRNAs that could cis-regulate 777 target genes, enriched in pathways such as muscle contraction, inflammatory response, and immune response, closely related to bone tuberculosis. There are 51 genes enriched in the immune response pathway regulated by cis-acting LncRNAs. LncRNAs that regulate immune response-related genes, such as upregulated RP11-451G4.2, RP11-701P16.5, AC079767.4, AC017002.1, LINC01094, CTA-384D8.35, and AC092484.1, as well as downregulated RP11-2C24.7, may serve as potential prognostic and therapeutic targets. CONCLUSION: The DE mRNAs and LncRNAs in spinal tuberculosis are both associated with immune regulatory pathways. These pathways promote or inhibit the tuberculosis infection and development at the mechanistic level and play an important role in the process of tuberculosis transferring to bone tissue.

The nucleotide sequence of a rat liver glutathione S-transferase subunit cDNA clone.

We have determined the nucleotide sequence of a cloned cDNA derived from liver poly(A) RNA of pentobarbital-treated rats encoding a glutathione S-transferase subunit. This cDNA clone pGTR261 contains one open reading frame of 222 amino acids, a complete 3' noncoding region, and 63 nucleotides in the 5' noncoding region. The cloned DNA hybridizes to rat poly(A) RNA in a tissue-specific fashion, with strong signals to liver and kidney poly(A) RNA(s) of approximately 1100 and approximately 1400 nucleotides in size but little or no hybridization to poly(A) RNAs from heart, lung, seminal vesicles, spleen, or testis under stringent conditions. Our sequence covers the cDNA sequence of pGST94 which contains a partial coding sequence for a liver glutathione S-transferase subunit of Ya size. Comparison of sequences with our earlier clone pGTR112 suggests that there are at least two mRNA species coding for two different subunits of the Ya (Mr = 25,600) subunit family with very limited amino acid substitutions mainly of conserved polarity. The divergent 3' noncoding sequences should be useful molecular probes in differentiating these two different but otherwise very similar subunits in induction and genomic structure analyses. Our results suggest that tissue-specific expression of the glutathione S-transferase subunits represented by the sequences of pGTR261 and pGTR112 may occur at or prior to the level of RNA processing.
