Cell-free circularization of viroid progeny RNA by an RNA ligase from wheat germ.
Linear, potato spindle tuber viroid RNA has been used as a substrate for an RNA ligase purified from wheat germ. Linear viroid molecules are efficiently converted to circular molecules (circles) which are indistinguishable by electrophoretic mobility and two-dimensional oligonucleotide pattern from viroid circles extracted from infected plants. In light of recent evidence for multimeric viroid ...
متن کاملMethionine-tRNA-ligase from wheat germ: purification and properties.
Methionine-t RNA-ligase (AMP) EC 6.1.1.10, from various prokaryotic organisms has been extensively studied since it has been found to catalyse the aminoacylation of tRNAsMef, thus contributing to the incorporation of methionine at both initiation and elongation steps of protein chains synthesis. Similarly, two different eukaryotic tRNAsMet, especially in plant cytoplasm are required for methion...
متن کاملPurification and analysis of RNA polymerase II transcription factors by using wheat germ agglutinin affinity chromatography.
We recently found that many RNA polymerase II transcription factors are modified with N-acetylglucosamine residues. These sugar moieties confer upon transcription factors an ability to bind the lectin wheat germ agglutinin. We have taken advantage of this interaction to devise a purification procedure for the "GC-box" binding transcription factor Sp1. Crude nuclear extracts are first subjected ...
متن کاملPrimary structure of wheat germ phenylalanine transfer RNA.
The complete nucleotide sequence of wheat germ phenylalanine transfer RNA (tRNA(Phe)) is presented. This RNA, which is an acceptable substrate for yeast phenylalanine tRNA synthetase, has a structure very similar to that of yeast tRNA(Phe). Only 16 of the 76 nucleotides are different, and all but two of the nucleotide changes are located in regions that are doublestranded in the cloverleaf mode...
متن کاملComplex RNA chain elongation kinetics by wheat germ RNA polymerase II.
Kinetics of RNA chain elongation catalyzed by wheat germ RNA polymerase II have been studied using various synthetic DNA templates in the presence of excess dinucleotide monophosphate primers. With single- or double-stranded homopolymer templates, the double reciprocal plots 1/(velocity) as a function of 1/(nucleotide substrate) exhibit positive, negative or no curvature. With poly(dAT) as temp...
