Biosynthesis of transfer RNA: in vitro conversion of transfer RNA precursors from Bombyx mori to 4S RNA by Escherichia coli enzymes.
Evidence for the presence of rapidly labeled short-lived RNA species, presumed to be precursors to transfer RNA (tRNA), in the silk glands of Bombyx mori is presented. These precursors, which migrate between 4S and 5S markers on acrylamide gels, can be converted in vitro into molecules indistinguishable in size from tRNA. The conversion is also catalyzed by a crude enzyme fraction isolated from...
متن کاملEnhancement of RNA Interference Effect in P19 EC Cells by an RNA-dependent RNA Polymerase
Background: RNA interference (RNAi) is a phenomenon uses double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) to specifically inhibit gene expression. The non-specific silencing caused by interferon response to dsRNA in mammalian cells limits the potential of utilizing RNAi to study gene function. Duplexes of 21-nucleotide short interfering dsRNA (siRNA) inhibit gene expression by RNAi. In some organisms, siRNA can als...
متن کاملSynthesis of stable RNA in stringent Escherichia coli cells in the absence of charged transfer RNA.
It has been possible to demonstrate the complete absence of either charged tRNA(Glu) or charged tRNA(Val) at 42 degrees by the use of two stringent strains of E. coli, one temperature-sensitive for glutamyl-tRNA synthetase and the other temperature-sensitive for valyl-tRNA synthetase. In both strains, stable RNA synthesis ceases, and guanosine tetraphosphate accumulates upon incubation at the n...
متن کاملThree adjacent transfer RNA genes in Escherichia coli.
A defective varphi80 transducing phage has been isolated that carries a small section of the E. coli chromosome from the region near argH (77 min). This phage contains three E. coli tRNA genes, termed glyTsu(+) (36), tyrT, and thrT. These genes specify the structures of tRNA(2) (Gly) (su(+) (36)) tRNA(2) (Tyr), and tRNA(3) (Thr), respectively. Induction of a single lysogen bearing this phage br...
متن کاملStudies on genetically altered transfer RNA species in Escherichia coli.
The study of tRNA molecules altered by a mutational event can lead to information in 3 important areas: (a) structure-function relationships in tRNA biochemistry; (ft) the genetics of tRNA; and (c) the physiological role of tRNA-isoaccepting species. For example, the elucidation of the structural alteration in a mutant tRNA species which reacts appreciably more slowly than normal tRNA in the en...
