Mitochondrial glutamate dehydrogenase from Leishmania tarentolae is a guide RNA-binding protein.
To identify specific proteins interacting with guide RNAs (gRNAs) in mitochondrial ribonucleoprotein complexes from Leishmania tarentolae, fractionated and unfractionated mitochondrial extracts were subjected to UV cross-linking with added labeled gRNA and also with [alpha-32P]UTP-labeled endogenous RNA. An abundant 110-kDa protein (p110) localized in the T-V complex, which sediments in glycero...
متن کاملThe mitochondrial RNA ligase from Leishmania tarentolae can join RNA molecules bridged by a complementary RNA.
A biochemical characterization was performed with a partially purified RNA ligase from isolated mitochondria of Leishmania tarentolae. This ligase has a K(m) of 25 +/- 0.75 nM and a V(max) of 1.0 x 10(-4) +/- 2.4 x 10(-4) nmol/min when ligating a nicked double-stranded RNA substrate. Ligation was negatively affected by a gap between the donor and acceptor nucleotides. The catalytic efficiency o...
متن کاملGuide RNA-independent and guide RNA-dependent uridine insertion into cytochrome b mRNA in a mitochondrial lysate from Leishmania tarentolae. Role of RNA secondary structure.
A primer extension assay was used for the detection of uridine insertions occurring in vitro in synthetic pre-edited cytochrome b mRNA during incubation with a Leishmania tarentolae mitochondrial extract. Two different activities were detected that inserted uridines within the first two editing sites: one that is dependent on the secondary structure of the mRNA but is independent of both exogen...
متن کاملIn vitro RNA editing-like activity in a mitochondrial extract from Leishmania tarentolae.
A mitochondrial extract from Leishmania tarentolae directs the incorporation of uridylate (U) residues within the pre-edited domain of synthetic cytochrome b (CYb) and NADH dehydrogenase subunit 7 mRNA. This has several characteristics of an in vitro RNA editing activity, but no direct evidence for involvement of guide RNAs was obtained. Inhibition by micrococcal nuclease suggests a requirement...
متن کاملSelective importation of RNA into isolated mitochondria from Leishmania tarentolae.
All mitochondrial tRNAs in kinetoplastid protozoa are encoded in the nucleus and imported from the cytosol. Incubation of two in vitro-transcribed tRNAs, tRNA(Ile)(UAU) and tRNA(Gln)(CUG), with isolated mitochondria from Leishmania tarentolae, in the absence of any added cytosolic fraction, resulted in a protease-sensitive, ATP-dependent importation, as measured by nuclease protection. Evidence...
