Cloning and characterisation of the abundant cytoplasmic 7S RNA from mouse cells.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A cDNA library has been prepared from mouse embryo small RNAs and screened for the presence of clones complementary to the highly abundant cytoplasmic 7S RNA. One clone (pA6) was selected which hybridized exclusively with 7S RNA on a Northern blot prepared from cytoplasmic RNA run on high resolution polyacrylamide/urea gels. Sequence analysis of this clone has shown that at least 65 nucleotides at the 5' end of 7S RNA are extensively homologous with the highly repeated mouse B1 family. Heterologous hybridisations between the cloned mouse 7S sequence and RNAs prepared from rat, human and chick cells have shown that the non-B1 part of the 7S RNA molecule has been highly conserved during recent eucaryotic evolution. There are multiple copies of 7S RNA genes in the genomes of mouse, human, rat and chick cells, but substantial differences exist in copy number and genomic organisation in these organisms.

Expression Cloning of Recombinant Escherichia coli lacZ Genes Encoding Cytoplasmic and Nuclear P-galactosidase Variants
Objective(s) Nonviral vector can be an attractive alternative to gene delivery in experimental study. In spite of some advantages in comparison with the viral vectors, there are still some limitations for efficiency of gene delivery in nonviral vectors. To determine the effective expression, the recombinant Escherichia coli lacZ genes were cloned into the different variants of pcDNA3.1 and the...

Backgrounds and objectives: Interleukin 2 (IL-2) secreted by activated CD4+ T cells has been known as a major mediator in both adaptive and native immune system due to a board range of effects on different cells in the immunity system (1-6). Methods: cDNA synthesis was performed using gene- specific primers designed by Gene Runner software after RNA extraction of mouse splenocytes. PCR pro...
متن کاملEffects of Crocin Supplementation during In Vitro Maturation of Mouse Oocytes on Glutathione Synthesis and Cytoplasmic Maturation
Objective Crocin is an active ingredient of saffron (Crocus sativus L.) and its antioxidant properties have been previously investigated. This carotenoid scavenges free radicals and stimulates glutathione (GSH) synthesis; consequently, it may protect cells against oxidative stress. The aim of this research is to protect oocytes from oxidative stress by the addition of a natural source antioxida...

Background: For several years, mammalian cloning by splitting an early embryo or nuclear transfer into oocytes method has been successfully performed. Cloning is now also possible using adult somatic cells. Although it has now been 15 years since the first cloned mammals were generated from somatic cells using nuclear transfer (NT), the success rate for producing live offspring by cloning is lo...
متن کاملCharacterization of the 7S RNA and its gene from halobacteria.
The 7S RNA is an abundant nonribosomal RNA in H. halobium and other halobacteria. A specific 7S RNA gene probe shows high homology to genomic DNA of all halobacteria tested but not to those of several other archaebacteria, eubacteria and eukaryotes. All halobacterial genomes seem to carry a single copy of the 7S RNA gene. The coding region of the 7S RNA gene is highly G+C rich whereas the 5'- a...
