Substrate, metal and template effects on inhibition of bacteriophage-qbeta ribonucleic acid polymerase by ortho- and pyro-phosphate.

ABSTRACT: Two reactions of bacteriophage-Qbeta RNA polymerase with synthetic templates were characterized and used to study the effects of substrate, metal and template on inhibition by Pi and PPi. Analysis of the poly(C)-dependent reaction yielded results on kinetics, GTP-dependence, preference for Mn2+ over Mg2+, and Michaelis constants for template similar to those in the literature. New data are provided for the poly(U2,C)-dependent reaction. Our results suggest that GTP and Mn2+ can form relatively stable complexes with the polymerase and that such complexes change the interaction of the enzyme with the inhibitors, Pi and PPi.

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.

Kinetics and template-dependency of ribonucleic acid synthesis by bacterial ribonucleic acid polymerase.

Project description:The rate of RNA synthesis catalysed by DNA-dependent RNA polymerase shows a Michealis-Menten-type saturation curve with increasing template concentration. However, the apparent Km is proportional to enzyme concentration, indicating that the reaction does not obey a simple kinetic scheme. The action of inhibitors also indicates a more complex interaction between the enzyme and the DNA template; many inhibitors of RNA synthesis either decrease Vmax. without affecting Km, or increase Km without affecting Vmax. All of these observations can be accounted for quantitatively by a reaction pathway in which the non-specific binding sites of the viral DNA template inhibit competitively the binding of the enzyme to the initiation sites. In terms of this pathway the two classes of inhibitors of RNA synthesis must then act predominantly either on the rate of elongation or on the availability of the binding sites respectively.

Inhibition by soluble ribonucleic acid of stimulatory effect of liver template ribonucleic acid.

Project description:1. Liver soluble RNA (s-RNA) and, to a smaller extent, Escherichia coli s-RNA inhibited the stimulation of [(14)C]leucine incorporation into protein in an E. coli S-30 system brought about by liver microsomal RNA or polyuridylic acid as template. 2. The inhibitory activity was associated with the fraction of the s-RNA possessing transfer-RNA activity. 3. The inhibition was exercised at a stage after charging of the s-RNA with amino acid. 4. Neither the method of preparation of the s-RNA nor its state of amino acid acylation affected its inhibitory action. 5. Stimulation of [(14)C]phenylalanine incorporation by polyuridylic acid or by liver microsomal RNA was not inhibited by addition of s-RNA. 6. It appears that excess of s-RNA inhibits the ambiguous incorporation of leucine with polyuridylic acid and also that something similar occurs with a natural template. 7. Estimation of messenger activity of samples of RNA should be carried out only after removal of s-RNA.

The inhibition of ribonucleic acid polymerase by acridines.

Project description:1. The aminoacridines, proflavine (3,6-diaminoacridine) and 9-aminoacridine, and a hydrogenated derivative, 9-amino-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroacridine, were shown to inhibit in vitro the DNA-primed RNA polymerase of Escherichia coli. The inhibition is strong with both proflavine and 9-aminoacridine, but weak with 9-amino-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroacridine. 2. The extent to which the three acridines bind to calf-thymus DNA in the enzyme medium was studied spectrophotometrically. The extent of binding decreases in the order: proflavine, 9-aminoacridine, 9-amino-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroacridine. Some evidence was also obtained for interaction between the nucleoside triphosphate substrates and proflavine or 9-aminoacridine; no such interaction was detectable with 9-amino-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroacridine. 3. Although the amount of acridine bound to DNA increases with increasing inhibition, a stage is reached where an increase in acridine concentration still causes an increase in inhibition, with practically no increase in the amount bound to DNA. 4. Plots of reciprocal rates against the reciprocal of DNA concentration were linear and had a common intercept when proflavine or 9-aminoacridine was present. Similar relations were obtained when the reciprocal concentration of nucleoside triphosphates was plotted. The observations are interpreted kinetically in terms of a competitive inhibition of the enzyme by proflavine or 9-aminoacridine and of a kinetic role for the DNA analogous to ;activation'. 5. This suggests that inhibitory acridine molecules can occupy the sites on the RNA polymerase that are specific for binding the nucleoside triphosphate substrate or the bases of the DNA, when these become accessible during the copying process.

Preferential inhibition by poly(adenylic acid) of minus-strand synthesis by bacteriophage Qbeta ribonucleic acid replicase.

Project description:Among the homopolymers examined, poly(A) was found to inhibit preferentially the synthesis of the minus strand by bacteriophage Qbeta RNA replicase in the presence of host factor. A specific interaction of poly(A) with the host factor is suggested to be a principal cause for the observed preferential inhibition by poly(A) of the host-factor-requiring Qbeta RNA replicase reaction.

Metal ion substrate inhibition of ferrochelatase.

Project description:Ferrochelatase catalyzes the insertion of ferrous iron into protoporphyrin IX to form heme. Robust kinetic analyses of the reaction mechanism are complicated by the instability of ferrous iron in aqueous solution, particularly at alkaline pH values. At pH 7.00 the half-life for spontaneous oxidation of ferrous ion is approximately 2 min in the absence of metal complexing additives, which is sufficient for direct comparisons of alternative metal ion substrates with iron. These analyses reveal that purified recombinant ferrochelatase from both murine and yeast sources inserts not only ferrous iron but also divalent cobalt, zinc, nickel, and copper into protoporphyrin IX to form the corresponding metalloporphyrins but with considerable mechanistic variability. Ferrous iron is the preferred metal ion substrate in terms of apparent k(cat) and is also the only metal ion substrate not subject to severe substrate inhibition. Substrate inhibition occurs in the order Cu(2+) > Zn(2+) > Co(2+) > Ni(2+) and can be alleviated by the addition of metal complexing agents such as beta-mercaptoethanol or imidazole to the reaction buffer. These data indicate the presence of two catalytically significant metal ion binding sites that may coordinately regulate a selective processivity for the various potential metal ion substrates.

Inhibition by alpha-amanitin of ribonucleic acid polymerase solubilized from rat liver nuclei.

Project description:1. alpha-Amanitin inhibits in vitro the RNA polymerase solubilized from isolated rat liver nuclei. 2. In contrast with previous observations with whole nuclei, the inhibition occurs approximately to the same extent in the presence and in the absence of ammonium sulphate. 3. Evidence is presented that the toxin acts by interacting with the enzyme itself and not with DNA or other components.

Substrate-binding ability of Escherichia coli ribonucleic acid polymerase in relation to its protein composition.

Project description:Interaction between Escherichia coli RNA polymerase and its substrates, the nucleoside triphosphates, was studied by gel-filtration and dialysis-rate-measurement techniques. 2. The holoenzyme bound variable amounts of ATP and GTP. There was no correlation between substrate-binding ability and enzyme activity of different enzyme preparations. 3. The core enzyme bound a maximum of 0.1 mol of ATP/mol of enzyme. The dissociation constant of this interaction was of the order of 1 X 10(-5)M. The core enzyme did not bind GTP. 4. A protein of mol.wt. 60000, which was eluted in the first fraction during phosphocellulose column chromatography of the holoenzyme, bound appreciable amounts of ATP. The dissociation constant of this interaction was of the order of 3 X 10(-5)-5 X 10(-6)M. 5. Evidence presented shows that this protein, and not the sigma factor, is responsible for the observed variation in the ATP-binding ability of the holoenzyme.

Nucleic acid enzymology of extremely halophilic bacteria. Halobacterium cutirubrum ribonucleic acid-dependent ribonucleic acid polymerase.

Project description:1. Crude extracts of the extreme halophile Halobacterium cutirubrum contain separable DNA-dependent and RNA-dependent RNA polymerases. 2. The RNA-dependent enzyme has been purified about 2800-fold. 3. It requires RNA, preferably of high molecular weight, and all four ribonucleoside triphosphates to incorporate (14)C-labelled nucleoside triphosphate into an acid-insoluble, ribonuclease-sensitive product. 4. Both the stability and activity of the RNA polymerase are relatively insensitive to changes in potassium chloride or sodium chloride concentration, but incorporation is stimulated by both Mg(2+) and Mn(2+). 5. The molecular weight of the enzyme is about 17000-18000.

NCResNet: Noncoding Ribonucleic Acid Prediction Based on a Deep Resident Network of Ribonucleic Acid Sequences.

Project description:Noncoding RNA (ncRNA) is a kind of RNA that plays an important role in many biological processes, diseases, and cancers, while cannot translate into proteins. With the development of next-generation sequence technology, thousands of novel RNAs with long open reading frames (ORFs, longest ORF length > 303 nt) and short ORFs (longest ORF length ? 303 nt) have been discovered in a short time. How to identify ncRNAs more precisely from novel unannotated RNAs is an important step for RNA functional analysis, RNA regulation, etc. However, most previous methods only utilize the information of sequence features. Meanwhile, most of them have focused on long-ORF RNA sequences, but not adapted to short-ORF RNA sequences. In this paper, we propose a new reliable method called NCResNet. NCResNet employs 57 hybrid features of four categories as inputs, including sequence, protein, RNA structure, and RNA physicochemical properties, and introduces feature enhancement and deep feature learning policies in a neural net model to adapt to this problem. The experiments on benchmark datasets of 8 species shows NCResNet has higher accuracy and higher Matthews correlation coefficient (MCC) compared with other state-of-the-art methods. Particularly, on four short-ORF RNA sequence datasets, specifically mouse, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, zebrafish, and cow, NCResNet achieves greater than 10 and 15% improvements over other state-of-the-art methods in terms of accuracy and MCC. Meanwhile, for long-ORF RNA sequence datasets, NCResNet also has better accuracy and MCC than other state-of-the-art methods on most test datasets.
