Nucleotide sequence of tomato ringspot virus RNA-2.

The sequence of tomato ringspot virus (TomRSV) RNA-2 has been determined. It is 7273 nucleotides in length excluding the 3' poly(A) tail and contains a single long open reading frame (ORF) of 5646 nucleotides in the positive sense beginning at position 78 and terminating at position 5723. A second in-frame AUG at position 441 is in a more favourable context for initiation of translation and may act as a site for initiation of translation. The TomRSV RNA-2 3' noncoding region is 1550 nucleotides in length. The coat protein is located in the C-terminal region of the large polypeptide and shows significant but limited amino acid sequence similarity to the putative coat proteins of the nepoviruses tomato black ring (TBRV), Hungarian grapevine chrome mosaic (GCMV) and grapevine fanleaf (GFLV). Comparisons of the coding and non-coding regions of TomRSV RNA-2 and the RNA components of TBRV, GCMV, GFLV and the comovirus cowpea mosaic virus revealed significant similarity for over 300 amino acids between the coding region immediately to the N-terminal side of the putative coat proteins of TomRSV and GFLV; very little similarity could be detected among the non-coding regions of TomRSV and any of these viruses.

Nucleotide sequence of tomato aspermy virus RNA 2.

RNA 2 of the V strain of tomato aspermy virus (TAV) consists of 3074 nucleotides and contains one open reading frame of 2487 nucleotides. Thus, it resembles RNA 2 of cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) strains Q and Fny (62% identical to both), brome mosaic virus (42% identical) and cowpea chlorotic mottle virus (40% identical). In comparisons between amino acid sequences, three different regions of similarity could be distinguished. These were the central part (amino acids 224 to 757 for V-TAV), which was most similar among the four viruses, and the N and C ends; sequences conserved among RNA polymerase species were found in the C half of the central part. Hydrophobicity patterns, and distributions of acidic and basic amino acids in the proteins encoded by V-TAV RNA 2, Q-CMV RNA 2 and Fny-CMV RNA 2 were very similar except at the extreme ends of the molecules. Structures that have been reported to act as regulatory signals for minus- and plus-strand synthesis were found in the 5' and 3' non-coding regions of the RNA.

The complete nucleotide sequence of apple mosaic virus RNA-3.

The complete nucleotide sequence of apple mosaic ilarvirus (ApMV) RNA-3 has been determined from cloned viral cDNAs. The 5' terminus of RNA-3 was determined by direct RNA sequencing, while the 3' end was determined by polyadenylation of genomic RNA and sub-cloning using oligo dT. ApMV RNA-3 is 2056 bases in length and encodes at least two open reading frames. It is similar in size and genome organization to the RNA-3 of other members of the Bromoviridae, which includes ilarviruses. The CP gene is in the 3' half of the molecule, and another large open reading frame is upstream of the CP gene and can potentially encode a protein of 32,400 daltons. This peptide is the same size and shows limited sequence homology to an open reading frame located at the 5' end of RNA 3 in tobacco streak and prune dwarf ilarviruses and alfalfa mosaic virus, which is postulated to be the viral movement protein. The nucleic acid sequence was not homologous to tobacco streak virus, prune dwarf virus, alfalfa mosaic virus or other members of the Bromoviridae. The 5'-non-coding region of ApMV RNA-3 contains a 15 base palindromic sequence which encloses a sequence resembling the ICR-2 regions of eukaryotic tRNA gene promoters.

Screening and identification of the ncRNA-mRNA regulatory network associated with DNA methylation in goose embryonic myoblasts.

BACKGROUND: Local goose breeds Shitou and Wuzong exhibit distinct growth rates, implying divergent embryonic muscle development. This study used embryonic myoblasts from the Magang goose, an established model with superior growth traits, to explore the underlying common regulatory mechanisms. Extending our previous findings that 5-AZA (DNA methylation inhibitor) and BC339 (DNA hydroxylation inhibitor) oppositely affect myoblast proliferation and differentiation, we performed whole-transcriptome sequencing on inhibitor-treated goose embryonic myoblasts. This aimed to identify DNA methylation-mediated ncRNA-mRNA networks governing myoblast fate, with key interactions being functionally validated. RESULT: 5-AZA significantly promotes cell proliferation and differentiation by inhibiting DNA methyltransferase activity and reducing DNA methylation levels, whereas BC339 significantly suppresses cell proliferation and differentiation by inhibiting demethylation and increasing DNA methylation levels. Specifically, we identified 6,309 mRNAs, 579 lncRNAs, 194 miRNAs, and 825 circRNAs that were differentially expressed in response to 5-AZA and BC339 treatment. Based on GO and KEGG enrichment analyses, differentially expressed genes related to muscle development were selected to construct a ceRNA network. This network comprises 5 differentially expressed lncRNAs (DELs: MSTRG.17572.1, XR_001211738.1, MSTRG.1886.1, XR_001212555.1, MSTRG.8995.2), 2 differentially expressed circRNAs (DECs: novel_circ_029953, novel_circ_017636), 11 differentially expressed miRNAs (DEMs: miR-383-x, miR-10174-y, miR-191-x, miR-24-x, miR-9619-y, novel-m0303-5p, novel-m0105-3p, miR-204-x, miR-211-z, novel-m0075, miR-26-y), 5 differentially expressed genes (DEGs: KIF3A, CCND1, PPM1A, Table 2, TGFBR1), forming a total of 24 interactions. This study identified miR-9619-y as a critical negative regulator of goose embryonic myoblast development through targeted inhibition of CCND1. Dual-luciferase reporter assays confirmed the direct binding of miR-9619-y to the 3'-untranslated region of CCND1. Functional experiments demonstrated that overexpression of miR-9619-y significantly reduced the EdU-positive cell ratio and myotube area percentage, accompanied by cell cycle arrest at the G0/G1 phase. Conversely, inhibition of miR-9619-y promoted myoblast proliferation and differentiation while decreasing the proportion of cells in G0/G1 phase. During the proliferation stage, miR-9619-y overexpression significantly suppressed CCND1 expression at both mRNA and protein levels, down-regulated MyoD expression, and reduced Myf5 mRNA abundance; whereas miR-9619-y inhibition up-regulated these genes and their corresponding proteins. During the differentiation stage, overexpression of miR-9619-y similarly decreased the mRNA levels of CCND1, Myh1, and MyoG, as well as the protein levels of MyHC and CCND1, with inhibition producing the opposite effects. CONCLUSION: In this study, we predicted a ceRNA network based on bioinformatics analysis governing goose embryonic myoblast development, identifying key molecular components including mRNAs, miRNAs, lncRNAs, and circRNAs, along with 24 regulatory axes. Functional experiments further demonstrated that miR-9619-y arrests cell cycle progression and negatively regulates the proliferation and differentiation of goose embryonic myoblasts, as evidenced by its impact on both the mRNA and protein expression of key myogenic factors through targeted inhibition of CCND1. These findings, together with the bioinformatically predicted ceRNA network, suggest potential complex post-transcriptional regulatory mechanisms underlying myogenesis in geese and offer candidate molecular targets for genetic improvement of meat production performance in waterfowl breeding programs.

Translation arrest of potato virus X RNA in Krebs-2 cell-free system: RNase H cleavage promoted by complementary oligodeoxynucleotides.

Translation arrest of genomic potato virus X (PVX) RNA promoted by complementary oligodeoxynucleotides in Krebs-2 cell-free system is described. 14-15 mer oligodeoxynucleotides complementary to the 5'-proximal cistron of PVX RNA were shown to induce specific truncation of the major non-structural polypeptide coded by PVX RNA. Evidence is presented that effective translational arrest of PVX RNA in the presence of complementary oligonucleotides results from the site-specific cleavage of RNA by endogenous RNase H intrinsic to the Krebs-2 extract. No similar translational arrest was found in the rabbit reticulocyte lysate cell-free system.

AUUUA motifs are dispensable for rapid degradation of the mouse c-myc RNA.

Sequence determinants responsible for c-myc RNA rapid turn-over are localized within the 3' non-coding region which is mainly characterized by the presence of two polyadenylation signals and a high content in A and U. Although the AUUUA/UUAUUUA motif is commonly thought to specify a whole class of unstable RNAs coding for various onco-proteins and cytokines, site-directed mutagenesis showed that both of the two such sequences found in the mouse c-myc RNA are dispensable for rapid RNA degradation. Although less efficient than the whole 3' non-coding region, the last 50 nucleotides of c-myc RNA, mainly made up of U and A and devoid of AUUUA/UUAUUUA motif, are sufficient to confer instability to the coding sequence.

Characterization of long guanosine-free RNA sequences from the Dahlemense and U2 strains of tobacco mosaic virus.

Four naturally occurring strains of tobacco mosaic virus, U2, Dahlemense, CV4, and the bean form of tobacco mosaic virus, were tested for the existence of long T1 RNAase oligonucleotides analogous to the oligonucleotide omega found in the common or U1 strain of tobacco mosaic virus and which makes up the 5' non-coding region of the RNA molecule. U2 and Dahlemense RNA were each found to contain this type of long T1 RNAase oligonucleotide with chain lengths of 54 and 74--77 residues, respectively. The sequence of the two oligonucleotides was determined mostly by using 5'-32P-labelled material in vitro and rapid polyacrylamide gel sequencing techniques.

The complete sequence of bluetongue virus serotype 10 segment 3 and its predicted VP3 polypeptide compared with those of BTV serotype 17.

The complete sequence of the large RNA segment 3 (L3) of bluetongue virus serotype 10 (BTV-10) has been determined from DNA copies of the viral RNA cloned in the E. coli plasmid pBR322. The L3 viral RNA is 2772 nucleotides long with a single open reading frame of 2706 nucleotides. The L3 predicted primary gene product (VP3) is 103 342 daltons and has a net charge at neutral pH of -5. The sequence of the L3 RNA species differs by 126 point mutations from that of BTV-17 (i.e., 95.5% homology; see M. Purdy, J. Petre and P. Roy, J. Virol. 51, 754-759, 1984). The predicted L3 primary gene products of the two viruses differ by 9 amino acids. These differences correspond to 9 point mutations and represent 0.15% of the sites where nucleotide substitution could cause an amino acid change. By contrast, another 114 point mutations in the genome correspond to 6.5% of the available sites where nucleotide substitutions could be silent (i.e., where a nucleotide substitution may not cause an amino acid change). Three point mutations are in the 3' non-coding region of the RNA species. The quantitative differences between the coding and silent mutations are interpreted as representing the result of gene product conservation.

Full-length sequence and expression of the 42 kDa 2-5A synthetase induced by human interferon.

Interferon-induced 2-5A synthetases are probably involved in some antiviral actions of interferon. In human cells two different mRNAs (1.6, 1.8 kb long) coding for this protein are transcribed from the same gene and are produced by differential splicing. The relationship between the two mRNAs of different size and the active enzyme is not clear, nor is the cellular localization of the latter known. We have cloned a cDNA corresponding to the 1.6 kb RNA. This cDNA was sequenced and its complete coding region was subcloned into pSP64. The resulting plasmid was used to direct the synthesis of micrograms of capped RNA transcript after linearization in the 3'-non-coding region. A 39 kDa protein was synthesized when this RNA was translated in rabbit reticulocyte lysate. When this capped RNA was introduced by microinjection into Xenopus oocytes, production of 2-5A synthetase was clearly observed in the cytoplasm and 10-30% of the enzyme accumulated with time in the nucleoplasm. Analysis of cytoplasmic homogenates of these oocytes on a glycerol gradient revealed that the enzyme is fully active in the monomeric form.

ACTH regulation of adrenal mRNA coding for total and specific adrenal proteins.

The effects in vivo ACTH administration on the synthesis of mRNA coding for total adrenal proteins and for protein E a specific marker of ACTH action, have been studied. After 4 h of in vivo ACTH treatment, protein E is one of the major translational products. Its electrophoretic characteristics in a 2D gel acrylamide system are defined (molecular mass = 36,000 daltons, pHi = 7). We have investigated the effects of ACTH on both poly(A)-RNA coding for total adrenal proteins, and non-poly(A)-RNA. The time course of these effects is different: the effect on mRNA is maximal at 48 h whereas the effect on non-poly(A)-RNA continues to increase until the end of the experiment (5 days). In vitro translocational assays of mRNA indicate that the highest efficiency (protein synthesis/microgram of mRNA) is observed after 4 h of ACTH treatment in vivo. After 5 days this efficiency is similar to that of mRNA extracted from non ACTH-treated rats.

Metab8D: a metabolic regulome network from multiomics and machine learning.

To explore multiomic regulation of the metabolome, we used machine learning to predict metabolomic variation across ~1000 different cancer cell lines with matched omics data from eight biomolecular classes: genomic copy number variation, mutations, DNA methylation, histone post-translational modifications (PTMs), transcriptomics and RNA splice variants, non-coding transcriptomics (miRNA and lncRNA), proteomics, and phosphoproteomics. Overall, the metabolome is tightly associated with the transcriptome, with coding and non-coding RNAs emerging as top predictors. Peripheral metabolites are predictable via levels of corresponding enzymes, while those in central metabolism require combinatorial predictors in signaling and redox pathways, and may not reflect corresponding pathway expression. We reconstruct multiomic interaction subnetworks for highly predictable metabolites, and YAP1 signaling emerged as a top global predictor across four omic layers. We prioritize predictive multiomic features for single-cell and spatial metabolomics assays. Top predictors were enriched for synthetic-lethal interactions and synergistic combination therapies that target compensatory metabolic modulators.

Localization of serotonin subtype 6 receptor messenger RNA in the rat brain by in situ hybridization histochemistry.

The serotonin receptor subtype 6, which raises intracellular cyclic AMP via stimulatory G-proteins, has recently been cloned and characterized. To determine the distribution of serotonin subtype 6 messenger RNA, in situ hybridization was performed in coronal sections of rat brain. 35S-labeled riboprobe, complementary to the 5' non-coding region of the serotonin subtype 6 messenger RNA, and a 33P-labeled riboprobe complementary to its 3' non-coding region, were used for hybridization. Serotonin subtype 6 receptor message was found in serotonin projection fields, rather than regions of serotonin-containing cell bodies, suggesting that the receptor is mainly postsynaptic. Hybridization signal was highest in olfactory tubercle, as well as prominent in the striatum, nucleus accumbens, dentate gyrus, and CA1, CA2 and CA3 of the hippocampus. Less intense hybridization was observed in cerebellum, some diencephalic nuclei, the amygdala, and layers 2, 3, 4 and 6 of the cortex. This pattern of hybridization was observed with both probes, but not when sense transcripts were used. Because the serotonin subtype 6 receptor has a high affinity for the atypical antipsychotic clozapine, and because striatum and nucleus accumbens are proposed sites of antipsychotic drug effects, the possibility is raised that this receptor may play an important role in mediating the effects of the atypical antipsychotic agents.

Detection of enteroviral RNA by polymerase chain reaction in faecal samples from patients with aseptic meningitis.

An assay based on the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for detection of enteroviral RNA in stool samples was carried out using specimens from 74 patients with aseptic meningitis. The primer pair and probe were derived from the highly conserved 5' non-coding enterovirus genomic region. Enteroviral RNA was detected in faeces of all 36 patients in whom an enterovirus was isolated from stool. The PCR assay yielded positive results in additionally 3/6 cases where enterovirus diagnoses were obtained by virus isolation from cerebrospinal fluid and/or serological tests. Thus, the positive outcome of the PCR assay was 39 (93%) among the 42 patients with enterovirus diagnoses. Furthermore, 7/19 (37%) cases with an etiology that was not established by other means were positive in the test indicating that the PCR assay may give considerable additional etiological information in patients with aseptic meningitis. The limit of RNA detectability in the PCR assay was about 100 TCID50 when highly cytopathogenic enterovirus types (coxsackievirus type B5 and echovirus type 11) were tested. The PCR was negative in all 13 patients with non-enterovirus diagnoses except in one case with a herpes simplex virus type 2 infection. Since enterovirus-specific IgM antibodies could be detected in this case a dual infection seemed probable. All the negative controls, included in the study, were PCR-negative and no contamination was encountered. This study proves the usefulness of the PCR assay for detection of enteroviral RNA in stool samples and suggests that the test may be an alternative to virus isolation for rapid enterovirus diagnosis in patients with aseptic meningitis.

Resistance of Semliki forest virus protein synthesis to high salt treatment.

Selective translation of Semliki Forest virus-specific mRNA occurred in virus-infected cells exposed to hypertonic growth medium. The selective resistance of the virus-specific protein synthesis could be detected at a wide NaCl concentration range and was more significant at lowered incubation temperature (28 degrees C). It is suggested that the translation of the structural proteins encoding subgenomic 26 S RNA is more resistant to the hypertonic initiation block than the translation of the genomic 42 S RNA which codes for the non-structural viral proteins.

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.

ceRNA network of lncRNAs and mRNAs in OSF-to-OSCC progression: Diagnostic biomarkers and functional pathways.

BACKGROUND: Oral submucous fibrosis (OSF) is a chronic potentially malignant disorder that can progress to oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Although dysregulated non-coding RNAs have been implicated in oral carcinogenesis, the competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA)-mediated regulatory mechanisms underlying OSF-to-OSCC progression remain poorly understood. This study aimed to identify candidate regulatory molecules and construct a putative lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA network associated with malignant transformation. METHODS: Publicly available microarray datasets (GSE117973 and GSE125866) were analyzed to identify differentially expressed genes between OSF and OSCC. Differentially expressed transcripts were classified into mRNAs and lncRNAs based on public transcript annotations. Highly correlated lncRNA-mRNA pairs were identified using Pearson correlation analysis and integrated with multiMiR-supported miRNA-mRNA interactions obtained from public databases to construct a putative ceRNA regulatory network. Functional characterization focused on apoptosis, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and immune checkpoint-related pathways. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was performed to evaluate diagnostic performance, and selected biomarkers were externally validated using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) OSCC cohort. RESULTS: Integrated transcriptomic analysis identified several dysregulated mRNAs and lncRNAs associated with OSF-to-OSCC progression. Network analysis highlighted TBC1D3B, RREB1, TEAD3, SREBF1, TMEM41B, FOXK2, and KIAA1958 as prominent hub genes within the putative regulatory network. Functional analyses demonstrated significant associations with apoptosis-, EMT-, and immune checkpoint-related genes, suggesting potential involvement in multiple biological processes contributing to malignant transformation. Several hub genes exhibited strong diagnostic performance, with ROC analysis yielding AUC values ranging from 0.891 to 1.000, indicating excellent discrimination between OSF and OSCC samples. External validation using TCGA further supported the relevance of the identified biomarkers in OSCC. CONCLUSIONS: This study provides a comprehensive transcriptomic framework describing putative lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA regulatory interactions associated with OSF progression to OSCC. The identified hub genes and regulatory networks represent candidate biomarkers for early detection and provide a foundation for future mechanistic and experimental validation. As the proposed ceRNA interactions are computationally inferred, further biological validation is required before clinical application.

Nucleotide sequence of a cDNA clone of RNA segment 10 of bluetongue virus (serotype 10).

The complete sequence of the double-stranded RNA segment that codes for a non-structural protein (P8) of bluetongue virus serotype 10 has been determined from a cDNA clone inserted into the plasmid pBR322. The segment 10 RNA of the virus (S10 RNA) is deduced to be 822 base pairs long (0.5 X 10(6) daltons) and has an open reading frame in one strand capable of coding for a protein with a calculated size of 25,572 daltons (229 amino acids) and a net charge of +5.5 at neutral pH.

Binding of Xenopus transcription factor A to 5S RNA and to single stranded DNA.

Footprint competition assays are utilized to study the binding of Xenopus transcription factor A to a variety of single-stranded nucleic acids. The addition of Xenopus oocyte, yeast, or wheat germ 5S RNA as footprint competitors reveals that factor A binds these 5S RNAs with similar affinity. In contrast, factor A does not bind to E.coli 5S RNA or wheat germ tRNA in this assay. Factor A binding to single stranded DNA is also examined using footprint competition. Factor A binds preferentially to non-specific single stranded (M13) DNA versus double stranded (pBR322) DNA. Factor A binds equally well to single stranded DNA fragments containing either the coding or non-coding strands of the 5S RNA gene. Using single stranded M13 DNA as a competitor, the factor A-5S RNA gene complex is found to dissociate with a half-life of 5-6 min.
