Studies on valinomycin inhibition of synaptosome-fraction protein synthesis.

ABSTRACT: The ionophore valinomycin inhibited adult and neonatal synaptosome fraction protein synthesis with half-maximal inhibition at approximately 10nM. Valinomycin had no effect on [3H]leucine uptake into synaptosomes at high or low external [K+]. Synaptosome-fraction protein synthesis was dependent on [K+]e reaching a maximum at 25mM-K+. Valinomycin inhibition of protein synthesis was not reversed at high [K+]e. Valinomycin failed to influence the intrasynaptosomal [K+] even at zero [K+]e. A significant increase in State-4 respiration of synaptosomal fractions was found at 5nM-valinomycin with a decrease in the respiratory control index. At these concentrations of valinomycin there was no inhibition of the ADP-stimulated (State 3) respiration rate. Valinomycin had no effect on cerebral microsomal protein synthesis in vitro, which was inhibited by puromycin (100 micrograms/ml) or the absence of ATP. Valinomycin, 2,4-dinitrophenol and KCN inhibition of protein synthesis was not reversed by added ATP, suggesting impermeability of the membrane to ATP. Valinomycin induced a rapid fall in synaptosome ATP content not observed with atractylate or ouabain. Valinomycin inhibition of protein synthesis under these conditions is secondary to uncoupling of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation with a subsequent decrease in intraterminal ATP necessary for translation.

Selective synthesis of hydroxy analogues of valinomycin using dioxiranes.

Project description:A synthesis of representative monohydroxy derivatives of valinomycin (VLM) was achieved under mild conditions by direct hydroxylation at the side chains of the macrocyclic substrate using dioxiranes. Results demonstrate that the powerful methyl(trifluoromethyl)dioxirane 1b should be the reagent of choice to carry out these key transformations. Thus, a mixture of compounds derived from the direct dioxirane attack at the ?-(CH(3))(2)C-H alkyl chain of one Hyi residue (compound 3a) or of one Val moiety (compounds 3b and 3c) could be obtained. Following convenient mixture separation, each of the new oxyfunctionalized macrocycles became completely characterized.

Studies on the inhibition of protein synthesis by selenodiglutathione.

Project description:Amino acid incorporation in a cell-free system derived from rat liver has previously been found to be inhibited by GSSeSG (selenodiglutathione). In the present experiments the effect of GSSeSG on protein synthesis in 3T3-f cells, on growth and protein synthesis in Escherichia coli, and on amino acid incorporation in a cell-free system derived from E. coli, was studied. GSSeSG inhibits the incorporation of [3H]leucine into protein by 3T3-f cells. This inhibition cannot be reversed by removing GSSeSG and is correlated with the uptake of GSSeSG. Sodium selenite (Na2SeO3) and oxidized glutathione had no inhibitory effect in this system. [3H]Uridine or [3H]thymidine incorporation into RNA or DNA was not inhibited, indicating that the primary action of GSSeSG was on protein synthesis. GSSeSG did not influence the growth of E. coli in a synthetic medium, although enhanced amino acid incorporation was observed. In the cell-free system derived from E. coli, amino acid incorporation was not changed by GSSeSG, indicating that elongation factor G, in contrast to elongation factor 2 of mammalian cell systems, is not blocked by GSSeSG.

Genome-wide analysis of snRNAs bound to Gemin5 upon protein synthesis inhibition

Project description:Here, we report the genome-wide analysis of snRNAs that are bound to Gemin5 upon protein synthesis inhibition. Upon protein synthesis inhibition, the SMN complex that has a crucial role in the biogenesis of snRNPs dissociates into its subunits, leaving Gemin5 alone. The existence of these subunits was confirmed using a proteomics approach. As Gemin5 has been previously reported to be the RNA-binding protein of the SMN complex, we obtained the sequence of all Gemin5 immunoprecipitated snRNAs. We found that snRNAs that were accumulated on Gemin5 contained extra genomic sequences at the 3'-end. We were thus able to identify novel precursors of all the snRNAs that have not been identified previously. This study also provides a detailed method for the characterization of in vivo captured RNPs using a ribo-proteomics approach.

Studies on an antineoplastic fraction from human urine. Characterization of the major protein in this fraction.

Project description:A fraction has been isolated from human urine which exhibits antiproliferative activity against human tumour cell lines without affecting the growth of several normal diploid cell lines or tumour cells of mouse or hamster origin. The major protein present in this fraction has been characterized and tentatively designated antineoplastic urinary protein (ANUP). An S020,W value of 3.69 S was obtained by sedimentation velocity analysis, and a subunit molecular mass of 16 300 Da was obtained by sedimentation equilibrium and by sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. Centrifugation data also indicated that the protein self-associates. The amino acid analysis of ANUP was consistent with its low pI (4.2) as determined by chromatofocusing analysis. Furthermore, the amino acid composition exhibited some features similar to collagen, as shown by high levels of proline and glycine, the absence of cysteine, and the presence of low levels of hydroxyproline.

Mitochondrial volume fraction and translation duration impact mitochondrial mRNA localization and protein synthesis.

Project description:Mitochondria are dynamic organelles that must precisely control their protein composition according to cellular energy demand. Although nuclear-encoded mRNAs can be localized to the mitochondrial surface, the importance of this localization is unclear. As yeast switch to respiratory metabolism, there is an increase in the fraction of the cytoplasm that is mitochondrial. Our data point to this change in mitochondrial volume fraction increasing the localization of certain nuclear-encoded mRNAs to the surface of the mitochondria. We show that mitochondrial mRNA localization is necessary and sufficient to increase protein production to levels required during respiratory growth. Furthermore, we find that ribosome stalling impacts mRNA sensitivity to mitochondrial volume fraction and counterintuitively leads to enhanced protein synthesis by increasing mRNA localization to mitochondria. This points to a mechanism by which cells are able to use translation elongation and the geometric constraints of the cell to fine-tune organelle-specific gene expression through mRNA localization.

Infection with Chlamydia trachomatis reprograms human cells through inhibition of protein synthesis

Project description:The obligate intracellular bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis replicates in a cytosolic vacuole in human epithelial cells. Infection of human cells with C. trachomatis causes substantial changes to many host cell signalling pathways but the molecular basis of such influence is not well understood. Studies of gene transcription of the infected cell have shown altered transcription of many host cell genes, indicating a transcriptional response of the host cell to the infection. We here describe that infection of human cells with C. trachomatis as well as infection of murine cells with C. muridarum profoundly inhibits protein synthesis of the infected host cell. This inhibition was accompanied by changes to the ribosomal profile of the infected cell indicative of a block of translation initiation, most likely as part of a stress response. The chlamydial protease CPAF also reduced protein synthesis in uninfected cells although CPAF-deficient C. trachomatis showed no defect in this respect. Analysis of polysomal mRNA as a proxy of actively transcribed mRNA identified a number of biological processes differentially affected by chlamydial infection. Mapping of differentially regulated genes onto a protein interaction network identified nodes of up- and down-regulated networks during chlamydial infection. Proteomic analysis of protein synthesis further suggested translational regulation of host cell functions by chlamydial infection. These results demonstrate reprogramming of the host cell during chlamydial infection through the alteration of protein synthesis.
