The association in vitro of polyribosomes with ribonuclease-treated derivatives of hepatic rough endoplasmic reticulum. Characteristics of the membrane binding sites and factors influencing association.

ABSTRACT: 1. Pancreatic ribonuclease in dilute EDTA has been shown to condition rough-microsomal membranes from adult rat liver to accept exogenously added rat liver polyribosomes in vitro at 0-4 degrees C. Treated smooth membranes would not significantly interact with polyribosomes. 2. The conditioning process decreased the membrane RNA content and removed polyribosomes from vesicle surfaces as viewed electron-microscopically. 3. Binding to these conditioned membranes was shown to be uninfluenced by changes of temperature (0-37 degrees C) and pH (6.9-7.8) or the presence of cell sap, but was inhibited by increasing the concentration of potassium chloride. 4. Possession of a polyribosome-binding capacity by conditioned rough membranes was not dependent on adventitious materials that could be dislodged by high ionic strengths. 5. Trypsin treatment under mild conditions destroyed the binding capacity of ribonuclease-conditioned rough membranes. 6. A 2-10S residual RNA was recovered from ribonuclease-conditioned membranes, but its partial removal had no effect on the capacity of membranes to accept polyribosomes. However, some role for this residual RNA in attaching polyribosomes could not be discounted. 7. Evidence is considered that polyribosome-binding sites are intrinsic features of conditioned membranes isolated from rough-microsomal fractions, and that long-range ionic bonding is a primary factor in polyribosome interaction with these binding sites.

Project description:Aim and experimental set-up: Sequencing of small RNA from total RNA fractions. The aim of this experiment was to compare profiles of miRNA expression between the following genetic backgrounds: Col-0 (wild type), era1-2 (farnesyl transferase mutant), j2-2/j3-2 + pJ3:J3 (j2/j3 double knockout expressing transgenic J3 under the control of the endogenous J3 promoter), j2-2/j3-2 + pJ3:J3C417S (j2/j3 double knockout expressing transgenic J3 mutated in the farnesylation site (C417S) under the control of the endogenous J3 promoter). Seedlings were grown under sterile conditions for 16 days. Two biological replicates of each genotype were harvested, and total RNA was prepared by Trizol extraction. Small RNA libraries were constructed using NEBNext Small RNA Library Prep Set and sequenced on an Illumina platform. Sequencing of small RNA bound to AGO1 in membrane fractions The aim of this experiment was to characterize AGO1-bound small RNAs in membrane fractions, and to answer two specific questions: Can miRNAs be identified whose association with membrane-bound AGO1 is different between the following four genotypes: Col-0 (wild type), era1-2 (farnesyl transferase mutant), j2-2/j3-2 + pJ3:J3 (j2/j3 double knockout expressing transgenic J3 under the control of the endogenous J3 promoter), j2-2/j3-2 + pJ3:J3C417S (j2/j3 double knockout expressing transgenic J3 mutated in the farnesylation site (C417S) under the control of the endogenous J3 promoter) Is the ratio between reads matching miRNA and miRNA* different between the above four genotypes? Seedlings were grown under sterile conditions for 16 days. Two biological replicates of each genotype were harvested. Microsomes were prepared from 2g of seedling tissue, solubilized by 1% deoxycholate and AGO1 was immunoprecipitated with specific antibodies (Agrisera). Immunopurified AGO1 was eluted from Protein A sepharose beads by competitive elution with antigenic AGO1 peptide. Small RNA was extracted by Trizol extraction from eluted AGO1. Small RNA libraries were constructed using NEBNext Small RNA Library Prep Set and sequenced on an Illumina platform.
