چکیده
The stabilization of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase mRNA by glucocorticoids appears to result from the interaction of an induced factor with an RNA element located in the 3' noncoding sequence of the mRNA. This element can confer glucocorticoid-dependent stabilization upon a heterologous mRNA, and thus strategies developed to investigate the control of mRNA transcription can now be applied to the analysis of hormone-regulated mRNA stabilization.

Specificity and functional analysis of the pH-responsive element within renal glutaminase mRNA.
The specificity and the functional significance of the binding of a specific cytosolic protein to a direct repeat of an eight-base AU sequence within the 3'-nontranslated region of the glutaminase (GA) mRNA were characterized. Competition experiments established that the protein that binds to this sequence is not an AUUUA binding protein. When expressed in LLC-PK(1)-F(+) cells, the half-life of...
متن کاملpH-responsive stabilization of glutamate dehydrogenase mRNA in LLC-PK1-F+ cells.
During chronic metabolic acidosis, the adaptive increase in rat renal ammoniagenesis is sustained, in part, by increased expression of mitochondrial glutaminase (GA) and glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) enzymes. The increase in GA activity results from the pH-responsive stabilization of GA mRNA. The 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) of GA mRNA contains a direct repeat of an eight-base AU-rich elemen...
متن کاملRole of AUF1 and HuR in the pH-responsive stabilization of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase mRNA in LLC-PK₁-F⁺ cells.
Onset of metabolic acidosis leads to a rapid and pronounced increase in expression of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) in rat renal proximal convoluted tubules. This adaptive response is modeled by treating a clonal line of porcine LLC-PK(1)-F(+) cells with an acidic medium (pH 6.9, 9 mM HCO(3)(-)). Measurement of the half-lives of PEPCK mRNA in cells treated with normal (pH 7.4, 26 mM...
متن کاملMapping and functional analysis of an instability element in phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase mRNA.
Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) is a key regulatory enzyme of renal gluconeogenesis. The 3'-nontranslated region of the PEPCK mRNA contains an instability element that facilitates its rapid turnover and contributes to the regulation of PEPCK gene expression. Such processes are mediated by specific protein-binding elements. Thus RNA gel shift analysis was used to identify proteins in r...
متن کاملAutoregulation of glucocorticoid receptor by cortisol in rainbow trout hepatocytes.
We used primary cultures of trout hepatocytes and a physiological dose of cortisol (100 ng/ml), mimicking stressed levels in salmonid fish, to address the impact of glucocorticoid stimulation on glucocorticoid receptor (GR) mRNA abundance and protein content. Cortisol significantly elevated GR mRNA content over a 24-h period; this increase was abolished by actinomycin D, suggesting transcriptio...
