Programmed expression of beta-tubulin genes during development and differentiation of the chicken
We have previously demonstrated that the chicken genome contains at least four different, functional beta-tubulin genes. By using gene specific probes we have now analyzed the relative levels of expression of the four encoded messenger RNA (mRNA) transcripts as a function of chicken development and differentiation. We have found that the RNA transcript from the beta 2 gene is present in large a...
متن کاملRetention of autoregulatory control of tubulin synthesis in cytoplasts: demonstration of a cytoplasmic mechanism that regulates the level of tubulin expression
Virtually all animal cells rapidly and specifically depress synthesis of new alpha- and beta-tubulin polypeptides in response to microtubule inhibitors that increase the pool of depolymerized subunits, or in response to direct elevation of the cellular tubulin subunit content through microinjection of exogenous tubulin subunits. Collectively, these previous findings have documented the presence...
متن کاملIs apparent autoregulatory control of tubulin synthesis nontranscriptionally regulated?
Virtually all higher eucaryotic cells rapidly depress synthesis of new alpha- and beta-tubulin polypeptides in response to microtubule inhibitors that increase the pool of depolymerized subunits. This apparently autoregulatory control of tubulin synthesis is achieved through modulation of tubulin messenger RNA levels. In particular, in cells treated with the microtubule-depolymerizing drug colc...
متن کاملDifferential regulation of beta III and other tubulin genes during peripheral and central neuron development.
Mammalian peripheral and central neurons differ considerably in the composition and properties of their axonal cytoskeletons. Recent reports of the selective expression of a high molecular weight (HMW) tau protein in neurons with peripherally projecting axons have furthered the idea that the microtubules in central and peripheral neurons are disparate. In the present study, we examined the poss...
متن کاملA novel effect of EGF on mRNA stability.
Expression of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor gene is stimulated by EGF and the phorbol ester, 4 beta-phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA). PMA elevates EGF receptor mRNA levels in human KB epidermoid carcinoma cells, but does not significantly affect the half-life of this mRNA when its decay is examined after the addition of actinomycin D. In contrast, EGF greatly prolongs the half...
