Intermediate reactions in the binding of aminoacyl-transfer ribonucleic acid to rat liver ribosomes. The role of guanosine triphosphate.

ABSTRACT: 1. Transferase I from rat liver binds relatively low quantities of GTP when incubated with this nucleotide in the absence of aminoacyl-tRNA. 2. Transferase I reacts with both aminoacyl-tRNA and GTP to form a relatively stable complex that is retained on cellulose nitrate filters. The ternary complex transferase I-aminoacyl-tRNA-GTP is also formed when the transferase I-aminoacyl-tRNA complex is incubated with GTP or during the incubation of the transferase I-GTP complex with aminoacyl-tRNA. Synthesis of this complex does not require the presence of Mg(2+). 3. In the presence of Mg(2+) the ternary complex becomes readily bound to ribosomes without requirements for any other cofactors. 4. An extensive cleavage of GTP takes place when aminoacyl-tRNA becomes bound to ribosomes. 5. The low interdependence of reactions leading to the formation of transferase I complexes with aminoacyl-tRNA and GTP indicates that the mechanisms of the binding reaction in mammalian systems may be different from those in bacterial cells.

Intermediate reactions in the binding of aminoacyl-transfer ribonucleic acid to rat liver ribosomes. Formation and properties of an aminoacyl-transfer ribonucleic acid-transferase I complex.

Project description:1. Transferase I of rat liver binds aminoacyl-tRNA to form a relatively stable complex, which is retained on cellulose nitrate filters. This reaction proceeds at both 0 degrees C and 37 degrees C and is inhibited by GTP. The resulting product is stabilized by GTP and Mg(2+). 2. Only very low quantities of deacylated tRNA are bound by transferase I. 3. Methods are described for the preparative isolation of the transferase I-aminoacyl-tRNA complex from incubation mixtures by using ion-exchange procedures. 4. The transferase I-aminoacyl-tRNA complex becomes readily bound to ribosomes. The presence of Mg(2+) is essential for the binding. GTP stimulates this reaction but is not absolutely required. 5. It is concluded that the formation of the transferase I-aminoacyl-tRNA complex may be the primary reaction in the binding of aminoacyl-tRNA to mammalian ribosomes and that, unlike in bacterial systems, GTP is not absolutely required for this step.

Intermediate reactions in the binding of aminoacyl-transfer ribonucleic acid to rat liver ribosomes. the interaction of cholesteryl 14-methylhexadecanoate.

Project description:1. Transferase I from rat liver extracted with iso-octane binds significantly less aminoacyl-tRNA than the non-extracted enzyme. The original activity can be fully restored by the addition of cholesteryl 14-methylhexadecanoate. The binding capacity for GTP is not affected by the extraction. 2. In the presence of extracted transferase I the binding of aminoacyl-tRNA to ribosomes is decreased to 11-26% and the simultaneous binding of GTP to 32-43%. Cholesteryl 14-methylhexadecanoate induces a full reactivation of the extracted enzyme in both respects. 3. Extracted complexes A (aminoacyl-tRNA-GTP-transferase I) become bound to ribosomes to the same extent as the corresponding non-extracted preparations. 4. It is concluded that cholesteryl 14-methylhexadecanoate interacts with the binding site of transferase I for aminoacyl-tRNA and secondarily with that for GTP. It does not affect the binding site for ribosomes.

Myocardial aminoacyl-transfer-ribonucleic acid synthetase and aminoacyl-transferring enzyme activity.

Project description:The properties of cytoplasmic aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase and aminoacyl-transferring enzymes in the myocardium were examined and methods for the assay of the activity of these enzyme systems were developed. Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase activity was measured from the rate of incorporation of (14)C-labelled amino acid into aminoacyl-tRNA. Transferase activity was measured from the rate of incorporation of amino[(14)C]acyl-tRNA into protein in the presence of a standard preparation of hepatic ribosomes. Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase activity is labile once the heart has been homogenized, whereas transferase activity is stable. The source of energy for synthetase activity is ATP; that for transferase is GTP. Transferase activity was inhibited by puromycin and stimulated by dithiothreitol, whereas synthetase activity was unaffected.

Affinity chromatography of aminoacyl-transfer ribonucleic acid synthetases. Cognate transfer ribonucleic acid as a ligand.

Project description:The use of tRNA affinity columns for the purification of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases was investigated. A purification method for valyl-tRNA synthetase from Bacillus stearothermophilus is described that uses two affinity columns, one containing the pure cognate tRNA, and the other containing all tRNA species except the cognate tRNA. A method for the rapid preparation of the two columns was developed, which does not require prior isolation of cognate tRNA but makes use of the ability of the target synthetase to select its cognate tRNA. The usefulness of tRNA columns is compared with that of affinity columns derived from the aminoalkyladenylate reported in the preceding paper [Clarke & Knowles (1977) Biochem J. 167, 405-417].

Inhibition of bacteriophage-Q beta ribonucleic acid polymerase by guanosine triphosphate analogues.

Project description:Sixteen compounds related to GTP were evaluated as inhibitors of bacteriophage-Q beta poly(C)-dependent poly(G) polymerase. Non-phosphorylated compounds, including guanine, guanosine and deoxyguanosine, were inactive. Phosphorylated compounds gave significant inhibition at millimolar concentrations. For nucleotides the feature important for inhibition was the 5'-phosphate chain. Four triphosphates, XTP, ITP, 7-methyl-GTP and 2'-O-methyl-GTP, gave 50% inhibition of both the poly(C)- and poly(U2,C)-dependent reactions at concentrations from 0.1 to 5 mM. XTP was 10-fold more potent an inhibitor of the reaction with poly(U2,C) as template. None of these four compounds was able to substitute for GTP as substrate to a significant extent. The most active compound, 2'-O-methyl-GTP, was a competitive inhibitor (Ki = 0.4 mM) of GTP in the poly(C)-dependent reaction.

Role of Tissue Transglutaminase Catalytic and Guanosine Triphosphate-Binding Domains in Renal Cell Carcinoma Progression.

Project description:Tissue transglutaminase (TG2) is a multifunctional protein that can act as a cross-linking enzyme, GTPase/ATPase, protein kinase, and protein disulfide isomerase. TG2 is involved in cell adhesion, migration, invasion, and growth, as well as epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Our previous findings indicate that the increased expression of TG2 in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) results in tumor metastasis with a significant decrease in disease- and cancer-specific survival outcome. Given the importance of the prometastatic activity of TG2 in RCC, in the present study, we aim to investigate the relative contribution of TG2's transamidase and guanosine triphosphate (GTP)-binding/GTPase activity in the cell migration, invasion, EMT, and cancer stemness of RCC. For this purpose, the mouse RCC cell line RenCa was transduced with wild-type-TG2 (wt-TG2), GTP-binding deficient-form TG2-R580A, transamidase-deficient form with low GTP-binding affinity TG2-C277S, and transamidase-inactive form TG2-W241A. Our results suggested that predominantly, GTP-binding activity of TG2 is responsible for cell migration and invasion. In addition, CD marker analysis and spheroid assay confirmed that GTP binding/GTPase activity of TG2 is important in the maintenance of mesenchymal character and the cancer stem cell profile. These findings support a prometastatic role for TG2 in RCC that is dependent on the GTP binding/GTPase activity of the enzyme.

Affinity chromatography of aminoacyl-transfer ribonucleic acid synthetases. Small organic ligands.

Project description:The usefulness of affinity chromatography for the purification of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases was explored by using column ligands derived from the corresponding amino acid and aminoalkyladenylate, a non-labile analogue of the aminoacyladenylate reaction intermediate. Four modes of attachment of the aminoalkyladenylate to Sepharose were studied. The interaction between amino acid derivatives and the corresponding aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases is too weak to allow their use as ligands for affinity chromatography. Attachment of the aminoalkyladenylate via the alpha-nitrogen atom of the amino acid or via C-8 of the nucleotide abolishes synthetase binding, and immobilization via the oxidized ribose ring is only marginally useful. However, attachment of the aminoalkyladenylate to the matrix via N-6 of the nucleotide allows strong and specific synthetase binding, and the use of such columns permits the isolation of homogeneous synthetase from crude mixtures. The effect of non-specific adsorption and the utility of pre-columns and of specific substrate elution are investigated and discussed.

Binding of chloramphenicol and a fragment of aminoacyl-transfer ribonucleic acid to ribosomes and a ribosome precursor from a mutant of Escherichia coli.

Project description:During exponential growth, the mutatn strain Escherichia coli 15-28 accumulates 47S particles, which are unusual precursors to 50S ribosomal subunits. The 47S particles have little ability to bind chloramphenicol, but binding of a fragment of aminoacyl-tRNA is about half that by completed subunits. The 70S (and 50S) ribosomes of strain 15-28 and its parent (strain 15TP) do not differ in chloramphenicol binding. Although ribosomes from the mutant are less able than those from the parent to bind the fragment, this difference is not as marked as was found previously [Sims & Wild (1976) Biochem. J. 160, 721-726] for the binding of an analogue of peptidyl-tRNA and for peptidyltransferase activity. The altered activities may arise because strain 15-28 misassembles 50S subunits of altered conformation and because the few proteins that 47S patricles lack have vital functions in some of the partial reactions of protein synthesis.

Synthesis of cyclohexylpuromycin and its reaction with N-acetylphenylalanyl-transfer ribonucleic acid on rat liver ribosomes.

Project description:1. Cyclohexylpuromycin, an anlogue of puromycin in which a cyclohexane ring replaces the aromatic benzene ring of the L-phenylalanyl moeity of the nucleoside., has been synthesized and examined for its ability to release N-acetylphenylalanine from tRNA attached to rat liver ribosomes. 2.dl-Cyclohexylpuromycin was active in reacting with N-[3H]acetylphenylalanyl-tRNA on rat liver ribosomes to form N-E13H]lacetylphenylalanycyclohexypuromycin. 3. The reaction product N-acetylphenylalanylcyclohexylpuromycin and the corresponding analogue N-acetylphenylalanylpuromycin were chemically synthesized for evaluation of the structure of the released N-acetylphenylalanyl-containing material. 4. The results obtained suggest that the model of Raacke (1971) for purmycin reactivity needs further examination with regard to the role played by the aromatic ring system of the Lphenylalanyl moiety of the nucleoside

Synthesis of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (guanosine triphosphate) by isolated liver polyribosomes.

Project description:1. Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (GTP) (EC 4.1.1.32) was synthesized by postmitochondrial supernatants of rat liver in the presence of appropriate salts, an energy supply and [(3)H]leucine. Synthesis of enzyme released from polyribosomes was detected by immunoprecipitation with specific antibody followed by electrophoresis of the dissolved antibody-antigen precipitates on sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gels in the presence of a (14)C-labelled enzyme marker. 2. Enzyme synthesis in vitro occurs predominantly on free rather than bound polyribosomes. 3. Starved animals in which de-induction of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (GTP) had been initiated by re-feeding for 2h had a markedly decreased rate of enzyme synthesis, whether the measurements were made after injection of radioactive leucine into the intact animal or if synthesis was determined in vitro. 4. The low rate of enzyme synthesis by liver polyribosomes from re-fed animals was not due to the absence of soluble factors, nor could it be increased by the addition of cyclic AMP to the protein synthesis system. 5. Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (GTP) synthesis in vitro is diminished relative to total protein synthesis when the postmitochondrial supernatant is kept at 0 degrees C for several hours before measurement of protein synthesis. Since this effect is blocked by heparin, it is probably caused by selective ribonuclease attack on enzyme mRNA. 6. De-induction of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (GTP) is tentatively explained as being due to a transcriptional block in specific mRNA synthesis, followed by rapid degradation of existing message.
